Justin Timberlake 'Trolls' Premiere w/ Biel, *NSYNC ... 1st Outing Since Britney Memoir

Justin Timberlake showed face for the first time since Britney Spears' explosive memoir claims -- and he did so alongside some of the people who love him most ... his wife included.

The singer attended the 'Trolls' premiere in L.A. Wednesday with none other than Jessica Biel right by his side ... smiling wide and putting on a united front with her hubby. They were holding hands in front of cameras, and their power-couple presence was certainly felt.

Ditto for JT and his ex-boy band members ... who were also there on the carpet. Indeed, all the *NSYNC guys attended as well -- and they, too, got together for some group pics.

We broke the story ... *NSYNC put together a last-minute plan to show up to this event, seeing how their flick is coming out this weekend -- and the studio wanted to do some 11th-hour press to plug the movie ... this after the SAG-AFTRA strike recently came to an end.

Time will tell if them touching down in the flesh affects box office numbers, but the bigger takeaway here is Justin ... seeing how his name got dropped a lot last month by his ex.

As we reported ... a lot of "truths" came out about him in Britney's book -- including the fact that she had an abortion while they were together, which she said he pushed for at the time. She also alleged he'd cheated during their relationship ... among lots of other claims.

The dude took heat in the Twitter-sphere -- and he never came out and addressed any of it himself ... opting to lay low instead. Now, he's surfacing with the missus looking cheery.

We'll see if the widespread Timberlake hate has worn off by now ... 'Trolls 3' is out Friday.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Accused of Leaking King Charles Call ... 'Privacy' Needs Labeled BS

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry talked to King Charles this week to wish him a happy birthday -- but they're being slammed for allegedly leaking the news.

Page Six cites palace sources as accusing the Sussexes of spilling the deets of the Tuesday call to the Telegraph, which outlined what was said down to a T ... including the fact Meg herself actually hopped on the call, and that her and Harry's kids were in the mix as well.

Long story short ... they rang up Chuck to wish him a happy 75th birthday, marking the first time they'd spoken in months -- this following a non-invite to the King's UK festivities.

While things have seemed icy between both sides for a long time now -- the call itself was viewed as a step in the right direction to mend fences ... however, because news of it got out -- PS is saying the King's camp is pissed, and labeling Meg and Harry and hypocrites.

This boils down to their storied pursuit of privacy, which these Royal sources are now calling BS ... since they think the Sussexes set up this whole thing to gain some positive press.

Of course, Page Six also reports that a source close to the Sussexes is straight up denying leaking the contents of the call ... so it's a little unclear who actually leaked what here.

In any case, Harry's supposed to be talking to his dad again next week -- here's hoping this means they're on track to get the band back together. It's been a long, distant road.

MEGHAN MARKLE Y EL PRÍNCIPE HARRY Son acusados de filtrar una llamada con el Rey Carlos

Meghan Markle y el Príncipe Harry hablaron con el Rey Carlos esta semana para desearle un feliz cumpleaños, pero están siendo criticados por supuestamente filtrar la noticia.

Page Six cita fuentes del palacio que acusan a los Sussexes de difundir los detalles de la llamada al Telegraph, que describió lo que se dijo a la perfección, incluyendo el hecho de que Meg sugirió que todos estuvieran en la llamada, incluyendo sus hijos.

Para hacerlo más corto, la pareja llamó al Rey para desearle un feliz cumpleaños (su majestad cumple 75), lo que representa la primera vez que hablan en meses. Esto, después de que no los invitaran para las festividades del Reino Unido del Rey.

Aunque las cosas parecen estar frías entre ambas partes desde hace mucho tiempo, la llamada en sí fue vista como un paso en la dirección correcta para arreglar las cosas. Sin embargo, por el hecho de que la noticia se supo, están diciendo que el equipo del Rey está enojado y están etiquetando a Meg y Harry de hipócritas.

Esto se reduce a la muy preciada búsqueda de Meg y Harry por privacidad. Las fuentes reales están diciendo que esto sería pura mentira, ya que piensan que los Sussexes configuraron todo este escenario para ganar algo de prensa positiva.

Por supuesto, Page Six también informa que una fuente cercana a ellos niega la filtración del contenido de la llamada, así que es no está del todo claro quién filtró qué aquí.

En cualquier caso, Harry se supone que debe estar hablando con su padre de nuevo la próxima semana. Esperemos que esto signifique que están en camino a reconciliarse. Ha sido un camino largo y distante.

Tyler Perry I Was Meghan Markle's 'Therapist' ... Amid Royal Drama

PROVIDING A SAFE SPACE
‎Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa

Tyler Perry is dishing on his relationship with the royals, saying he acted as Meghan Markle's "therapist" after she moved back to the U.S. with husband Prince Harry.

The filmmaker sat down for a recent chat with Kelly Ripa on her "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast -- and, at one point, the conversation turned to Harry/Meghan -- and the generosity Tyler showed them.

First, Kelly brought up that Tyler "basically rescued" Harry/Meghan when the couple arrived in California in 2020 after leaving the royal family in the UK.

Tyler -- who didn't know Harry/Meghan at the time -- said he got the "tremendous sense" the Duchess of Sussex was overwhelmed by her Royal lifestyle.

He felt Meghan was "isolated and alone" because she was always under a microscope wherever she went, while also being hounded by the paparazzi 24/7.

So, Tyler reached out to Meghan through a publicist, even though everyone thought Oprah Winfrey had made the introduction.

Tyler said, "I sent them a note…  and just said, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here.' And she called months later and just talked to me like I was a therapist you talk to, and we had a great conversation."

He continued, “It's very important for people in this business to have a safe place to land, to have a place where they can trust and talk freely and get advice that’s not going to be biased or from somebody who wants something from them."

Tyler went on to say Harry/Meghan "hid" at his Beverly Hills mansion for many weeks, checking online to see if there was any news about them, but there wasn't. Nobody knew the Royals were staying with Tyler.

“It was so great,” Tyler recalled. “They were so happy. It was such a beautiful moment.”

KENDALL JENNER ¡HACE CAER NIEVE EN L.A!

Kendall Jenner ayudó a traer la nieve al soleado sur de California, bombeando un montón de nieve falsa en el set de su sesión de fotos.

Kendall fue vista en el set el martes para un nuevo proyecto desconocido, luciendo una falda, top, botas y una gran sonrisa en su rostro mientras tomaba el control de la manguera.

No está claro si el trabajo de nieve era parte del papel de Kendall en el rodaje, o si simplemente quería probar la tarea por sí misma, pero está claro que le encantó cada minuto.

Si te lo estabas preguntando, el novio de Kendall —Bad Bunny— no fue visto con ella en la sesión de fotos, pero la última vez que los vimos juntos fue tomando el desayuno cerca del Hotel Beverly Hills después de organizar una gran fiesta de Halloween.

Entre los muchos sombreros que Kendall lleva como modelo y empresaria, hay un montón de cosas que la joven de 28 años puede hacer, y le podemos añadir: "Hacer que nieve en Los Ángeles" a esa impresionante lista.

Kendall Jenner Spray Time in L.A.

Kendall Jenner helped to bring the snowfall to sunny southern California ... pumping a bunch of the fake stuff right onto the set of her photo shoot!

Kendall was spotted on set Tuesday for an unknown new project  ... rocking a skirt, top, boots and a big smile on her face as she took control of the hose.

Unclear if the snow job was part of Kendall's role in the shoot, or if she just wanted to try out the task for herself, but she's clearly loving every minute of it.

If you were wondering, Kendall's boo, Bad Bunny, wasn't spotted with her at the photo shoot ... but we last saw them together grabbing some breakfast near the Beverly Hills Hotel after hosting a massive Halloween party.

Between the many hats Kendall carries as a model and entrepreneur, there's a whole lot the 28-year-old can do -- and you can add "Make it snow in L.A." to that impressive list.

Jada Pinkett Smith Talks Will Smith, Duane Martin Sex Claims ... 'We Suin'!!!'

LAWSUIT INCOMING
TMZ.com

Jada Pinkett Smith has 2 simple words for the man claiming Will Smith had sex with Duane Martin ... pointing to a potential legal battle.

We got Jada leaving iHeartRadio Wednesday morning in NYC, and asked about her thoughts surrounding the allegation Will was caught having sex with another man -- her response? "We Suin'!"

It doesn't seem Jada's joking ... and a source close to the situation told us Will is actually weighing his legal options, so there could be some truth to Jada's response.

As we reported, Brother Bilaal -- a man claiming to be Will's former assistant/friend -- says he walked in on Will bent over a couch in Duane's dressing room in the past, having anal sex ... adding, "Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.”

A rep for Will told us the whole thing was BS ... saying, "This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false."

We covered the story on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Travis Kelce Floored By Taylor's Lyric Change ... 'She Really Just Said That!!!'

SHOCKED BY SWIFT
New Heights / Wave Sports + Entertainment

Travis Kelce says he was downright floored when he heard Taylor Swift give him a shout-out with a lyric change last week ... admitting the now-viral moment in Buenos Aires "blew me away."

The NFL star went in-depth about his trip to Argentina to see his new girlfriend on this week's episode of  "New Heights is presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment" ... saying that because it was all "public knowledge," he was down to spill some of the beans on how his bye week vacation went.

The Chiefs tight end told his brother, Jason, that he had a "whole bunch of fun" on the excursion ... revealing it was his first time ever heading south of the equator.

He said he and Swift -- plus her dad -- got dinner on Friday night following the postponement of Taylor's concert ... and they dined on "some good steak."

Then, he opened up about Saturday ... gushing to Jason about how "electric" it was to be in attendance for her show.

111123_taylor_swift_lyric_change_kal_v2 11/11/23
"THE GUY ON THE CHIEFS"

As for the big moment when Swift sang about him during her "Karma" performance ... he said he had some idea it was coming -- but that didn't change his emotions when "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me" reverberated through the stadium.

"Definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, it still shocked me and blew me away," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, shhh! She really just said that! All right!'"

Kelce then apologized to Taylor's dad for missing a high-five he had tried to get during the calamity.

"Sorry, Mr. Swift!" he said with a laugh.

Kelce also said he convinced Taylor's dad to switch allegiances from the Eagles to the Chiefs -- something Jason, Philadelphia's star center, wasn't exactly pleased about.

Travis, of course, won't be able to attend another Swift show for a while -- Kansas City now has weekly games until at least the playoffs ... though give the pod a listen, it sure sounds like the two lovebirds have a bond strong enough to survive some long distance between now and the spring.

WILL SMITH Rep Denies Claim He Had Sex with Duane Martin

Will Smith's team is denying a new allegation he and Duane Martin were caught in a dressing room having sex years ago ... calling the claim "unequivocally false."

A man claiming to be a former friend/assistant to the actor, Brother Bilaal made headlines Tuesday after an interview with Tasha K got some serious pickup. In the interview, Bilaal states he saw Will and Duane engaged in anal sex.

Bilaal says, "I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room and that’s when I see Duane having anal sex with Will.” He continues, “There was a couch and Will was bent over the couch and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.”

A rep for Will denies the allegation completely, telling TMZ, "This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false." Further ... a source close to the situation tells us Will is considering taking legal action following Bilaal's remarks.

Of course, Will's relationship has been the focus of a lot of attention as of late. Jada Pinkett Smith stunned the world last month when she revealed she and Will had been separated and living completely separate lives since 2016 in her new book.

Jada said she was shocked to hear Will refer to her as his wife at The Oscars the night of the infamous slap with Chris Rock.

As for Duane ... he hasn't yet publicly addressed the allegation from Bilaal. Duane and Tisha Campbell Martin finalized their divorce in 2020 -- she filed to end their marriage in 2018 -- but the divorce proceedings were messy to say the least.

It's still unclear if Bilaal had any sort of legitimate connection to Will at all.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Demanda en curso

Jada Pinkett Smith tiene dos simples palabras para el hombre que afirma que Will Smith tuvo relaciones sexuales con Duane Martin y apuntan a una posible batalla legal.

En el video vemos a Jada saliendo de iHeartRadio el miércoles por la mañana en Nueva York, cuando le preguntan por sus pensamientos en torno a la acusación de que Will fue sorprendido teniendo relaciones sexuales con otro hombre. ¿Su respuesta? ¡¡Vamos a demandar!!"

Por supuesto, es difícil saber si Jada está haciendo una broma o si su familia está realmente considerando acciones legales aquí, pero una fuente cercana a la situación nos dijo que Will en realidad está sopesando sus opciones legales, por lo que podría haber algo de verdad en su respuesta.

Como informamos, Brother Bilaal, un hombre que dice ser un ex asistente y amigo de Will asegura que lo vio inclinado sobre un sofá en el camerino de Duane en el pasado, teniendo sexo anal. Añadió: "Duane estaba de pie matándolo, asesinándolo. Eso fue un asesinato".

Un representante de Will nos dijo que todo el asunto era pura mentira, diciendo: "Esta historia es completamente inventada y la afirmación; inequívocamente falsa".

TRAVIS KELCE IMPACTADO POR EL CAMBIO DE LETRA DE TAYLOR

New Heights / Wave Sports + Entertainment

Travis Kelce dice que estaba totalmente impresionado cuando escuchó a Taylor Swift enviándole un mensaje al cambiar de letra de una canción la semana pasada, admitiendo que el momento ahora viral en Buenos Aires "me dejó alucinado".

La estrella de la NFL habló sobre su viaje a Argentina para ver a su nueva novia en el episodio de esta semana de "New Heights", diciendo que porque todo era "de conocimiento público", que estaba abajo a derramar algunos de los frijoles en cómo sus vacaciones de la semana de descanso fue.

El ala cerrada de los Chiefs le dijo a su hermano, Jason, que se había "divertido mucho" revelando que era la primera vez que iba al sur del ecuador.

Dijo que él y Swift —además de su padre— cenaron el viernes por la noche tras el aplazamiento del concierto de Taylor y cenaron "un buen filete".

Luego, se abrió sobre el sábado, diciéndole a Jason acerca de lo "eléctrico" que es asistir a su show.

111123_taylor_swift_lyric_change_kal_v2 11/11/23
"el chico de los chiefs"

En cuanto al gran momento, cuando Swift cantó sobre él durante su actuación "Karma", dijo que tenía alguna idea de que venía, pero eso no cambió sus emociones cuando las palabras "Karma es el chico de los Chiefs que viene directamente a casa para mí" reverberó a través del estadio.

"Definitivamente, cuando lo oí salir de su boca, todavía me sorprendió y me dejó alucinado", dijo. "Me dije: '¡Oh, shhh! ¡Lo ha dicho de verdad! Está bien'".

Kelce se disculpó entonces con el padre de Taylor por perderse un choque de manos que había intentado conseguir.

"¡Lo siento, señor Swift!", dijo entre risas.

Kelce también dijo que convenció al padre de Taylor para que cambiara su lealtad de los Eagles a los Chiefs, algo que a Jason, el centro estrella de Philadelphia, no le hizo mucha gracia.

Travis, por supuesto, no será capaz de asistir a otro espectáculo de Swift por un tiempo, Kansas City ahora tiene juegos semanales hasta por lo menos los playoffs. En todo caso, creemos que la pareja tiene un vínculo lo suficientemente fuerte como para sobrevivir a la distancia.

Will Smith Representante niega que haya tenido sexo con Duane Martin

El equipo de Will Smith está negando una nueva acusación de que él y Duane Martin fueron sorprendidos en un camerino teniendo relaciones sexuales hace años, y ha calificado la afirmación de "inequívocamente falsa".

Un hombre que dice ser un ex amigo y asistente del actor, el hermano Bilaal, copó los titulares de prensa el martes después de ser entrevistado por Tasha K . En ella, Bilaal afirma que vio a Will y Duane practicando sexo anal.

Bilaal dice: "Abrí la puerta del camerino de Duane y ahí es cuando veo a Duane teniendo sexo anal con Will". Y continúa: "Había un sofá y Will estaba doblado sobre el sofá y Duane estaba de pie matándolo, asesinándolo. Eso fue un asesinato".

Un representante de Will niega por completo la acusación, diciendo a TMZ: "Esta historia es completamente inventada y la afirmación es inequívocamente falsa." Además, una fuente cercana a la situación nos dice que Will está considerando tomar acciones legales a raíz de las declaraciones de Bilaal.

Por supuesto, la vida amorosa de Will ha sido el centro de atención en el último tiempo. Jada Pinkett Smith sorprendió a todos el mes pasado cuando reveló que ella y Will habían estado viviendo vidas completamente separadas desde 2016 en su nuevo libro.

Jada dijo que se sorprendió al escuchar a Will referirse a ella como su esposa en los Oscar la noche de la infame bofetada con Chris Rock.

En cuanto a Duane, él todavía no ha abordado públicamente la acusación de Bilaal. Duane y Tisha Campbell Martin finalizaron su divorcio en 2020. Ella presentó los papeles para poner fin a su matrimonio en 2018, pero los procedimientos de divorcio fueron desordenados por decir lo menos.

Todavía no está claro si Bilaal tenía algún tipo de conexión legítima con Will en absoluto.

Sydney Sweeney Se "calienta" con las fotos de Glen Powell... Comparte coqueto comentario

El coqueto comentario de Sydney Sweeney en Instagram deja claro que le gustaron las fotos subidas de tono de Glen Powell para Men's Health, una movida extraña teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que han tratado de restarle importancia a sus rumores de romance.

Haciendo alusión a las fotos del actor de "Top Gun: Maverick", la actriz de "Euphoria" se sonrojó y le escribió el comentario: "calentando el invierno de todos, ¿eh?".

Muy interesante, porque su cumplido se produce en el mismo momento en que Glen ha calificado los rumores con Syd, como muy "desconcertantes e injustos", aunque también señaló que es "parte de la actuación ahora".

Y solo un día después de la portada de Men's Health, Syd también abordó la naturaleza de su relación con Glen, diciendo a Women's Health: "Llegar a trabajar con Glen, nunca lo olvidaré... Espero que el público pueda sentir realmente el amor y la diversión que todos compartimos haciendo esta película".

Y añadió: "Es algo que siempre siento en mis comedias románticas favoritas: la alegría y la energía compartida entre el reparto y el equipo, y tuve la suerte de experimentarlo en esta película".

El dúo estaba rodando su nueva comedia romántica "Anyone But You" a principios de este año, cuando surgieron especulaciones de que los dos se estaban poniendo calientes y pesados en la vida real, tal como en el set.

La separación entre Glen y su novia Gigi Paris, que ocurrió más o menos al mismo tiempo, solo echó más leña al fuego.

Los coprotagonistas están de vuelta en Australia para re grabar algunas escenas de la película, pero esta vez el prometido de Sydney, Jonathan Davino, se unió al viaje.

Si bien eso podría ayudar a sofocar cualquier nuevo rumor de romance, el comentario de Sydney en Instagram definitivamente no lo hará.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Además, la belleza rubia probablemente no tiene tiempo para entretener a todos los rumores por segunda vez, ya que está en otros proyectos de alto perfil como la esperada "Madame Web" de Marvel, que acaba de lanzar su primer adelanto.

SYDNEY SWEENEY 'HEATS UP' OVER GLEN'S BUM-BARING SNAPS ... Leaves Him Flirty Comment

Sydney Sweeney's flirtatious Instagram comment makes it clear she's fond of Glen Powell's steamy Men's Health pics -- an odd move, considering how much they've tried to downplay romance rumors.

Referencing the "Top Gun: Maverick" star's bottom-baring photos, the "Euphoria" actress fangirled as she dropped the comment: "just heating up everybody's winter huh?"

Very interesting because the eyebrow-raising compliment came as Glen spoke to the fitness bible about the rumors about Syd ... calling the online hoopla "disorienting and unfair" while also noting it was "part of the gig now."

And just one day after Glen's MH cover, Syd also discussed the nature of their relationship, telling Women's Health, "Getting to work with Glen, I'll never forget this one ... I hope the audience can actually feel the love and fun we all shared making this film."

She added: That's something I always feel from my favorite rom-coms -- the joy and energy shared amongst the cast and crew, and I was lucky enough to experience that on this film."

The duo was filming their new R-rated rom-com "Anyone But You" earlier this year when speculation arose the two were getting hot and heavy IRL, as well as on set.

Glen's split from GF, Gigi Paris, at the same time only added fuel to the fire.

The costars are currently back in Aus for reshoots for the flick, but this time around, Sydney's fiancé Jonathan Davino, has joined her Down Under.

While that might help quell any renewed costar romance buzz, Sydney's IG comment definitely will not!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Also, the blonde beauty probably doesn't have time to entertain all the chatter a second time around as she's on to other high-profile projects ... such as Marvel's eagerly-anticipated "Madame Web," which just released its first trailer.

Kyle Richards Think My Separation Is For Clicks? You're an IDIOT!!!

COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH
Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast

Kyle Richards is comin' after folks who think her marriage trouble with Mauricio Umansky is a clever way to stay relevant ... saying a popularity contest for a "dumb TV show" is the last thing on her mind.

The 'RHOBH' star dragged her doubters during Tuesday's episode of Bravo's "Hot Mic" podcast, telling Emmy-Nominated Executive Producer, Alex Baskin one of the dumbest things she's heard since joining the 'Real Housewives' cast is the idea that she'd put her family through hell so the show could get a boost in ratings.

She shot down claims she's fabricating the issues she and Mauricio are facing lately in their relationship -- adding she's got no real reason to try and stay relevant by pointing out she's already been on TV for 13 seasons.

Kyle's also addressed the so-called gold digger theory ... people who think she's just staying with her real estate mogul husband to spend his money. Well, she's got a bold response -- you really gotta see how she puts that one to bed.

As we reported, Kyle and Mauricio announced they were separating back in July, after 27 years of marriage ... but denied they were getting a divorce. They admitted they've been facing a "challenging" year, but said there was no wrongdoing on anyone's part.

Since then, they've gone on family vacations together and continue to live under the same roof. Mauricio's denied there's anything going on with his 'DWTS' partner Emma Slater, but Kyle seems skeptical -- and even referred to their split as a "divorce" during BravoCon.

Hard to say where they stand today, but Kyle, at least, is making it clear all the drama is very real, and NOT manufactured for clout.

GLEN POWELL Top Gun Goes Bottoms Up!!! Grinning & Baring It in Pics

Glen Powell's got a treat for ya ... some clothing-optional shots that provide more than a glimpse of what Sydney Sweeney had to work with while they filmed down under. Poor girl, right?!?

Armed with a wide-brimmed hat to keep things PG-13, the "Top Gun: Maverick" actor bares his ass in a scorching-hot photo shoot for "Men's Health" magazine.

Some of the mag's other sexy snaps showcase his fine-tuned abs while jumping rope, trampolining and doing dumbbell push-ups.

Yup, it's just about fitness -- that's the ONLY reason anyone's looking at these pics. 😉

Alongside Glen's butt-baring shenanigans, he also talked to the fitness bible about his dating life ... specifically referring to the rumors about Sydney and himself when he said, "When all that stuff happened, you know, publicly, it felt disorienting and unfair. But what I'm realizing is that's just a part of this gig now."

Remember, there was a lot of buzz earlier this year about an alleged fling with Sydney as they filmed their R-rated rom-com "Anyone But You" in Australia.

The speculation intensified when Glen and his GF, Gigi Paris, called it quits at the same time.

However, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ the pair were not together IRL ... and any flirting between Glen and Syd was professional, for the sake of promoting their movie.

Also, Sydney is still very loved up with her fiancé Jonathan Davino.

The costars are back together in Oz for some reshoots, and looked as cozy as ever on set -- but, before the rumors start up again ... Jonathan's down there, too, with Sydney.
