Playboi Carti le regaló a Ice Spice su "demoníaco" Colgante al revés

Ice Spice cabreó a muchos con su aparición en el Super Bowl, ya que algunos relacionaron el colgante que llevaba con el mismísimo diablo. Sin embargo, Playboi Carti no quería generar ningún tipo de polémica.

La rapera fue vista durante la transmisión del partido del domingo y una buena cantidad de gente se fijó en el collar que llevaba en el palco de Taylor Swift y compañía, que (y para mucha gente) parecía una cruz al revés.

Por supuesto, hubo acusaciones de "adoración al diablo" y símbolos "demoníacos" mostrándose en televisión frente a millones de personas. Un gesto que hizo con la mano tampoco ayudó.

Resulta que no hay nada de impío en este colgante, al menos eso es lo que nos han dicho.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la pieza fue diseñada por el joyero Alex Moss, y es solo un dulce pedazo de hielo sin ataduras diabólicas detrás de él. Nos dicen que el colgante está hecho de oro negro, un nuevo material que se ha desarrollado y que Alex está utilizando en una próxima colección. La cruz también tiene zafiros rosa por todas partes.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Ice es la primera estrella de su calibre en tener este tipo de pieza en su poder y tiene que agradecerle a Carti por ello, nos dicen que en realidad se lo regaló no hace mucho tiempo.

Mientras que el tipo está ciertamente entusiasmado por la honda gótica en estos días, nuestras fuentes nos aseguran que no había nada satánico detrás del significado. Nos dicen que el diseño de la pieza es un esfuerzo de colaboración entre Alex y PBC.

Es dificil saber si la gente se lo creerá... pero esa es la explicación que nos han dado.

Francamente, ¿quién diablos sabe lo que hay en los corazones de la gente? Lo que podemos deducir de esto es que la cadena es bastante cool en todo caso.

De todos modos, es solo una más de muchas estrellas que han tenido que defenderse contra las acusaciones de hacer un trato con el príncipe de las tinieblas.

ICE SPICE Carti Gifted 'Demonic' Pendant But Nothing Unholy Here

Ice Spice pissed off many with her appearance at the Super Bowl -- as some interpreted a pendant she wore as pure evil ... even though, Playboi Carti meant nothing by it.

Here's the deal ... the rapper was seen a lot during Sunday's broadcast of the game, and a good amount of folks noticed the chain/necklace she was wearing in the suite with Taylor Swift and co., which (to a lot of people) looked like an upside-down cross.

Of course, that got some pearl-clutchers up in arms ... with accusations of "devil worship" and "demonic" symbols being shown on TV in front of millions. A hand gesture she made at one point -- quiet coyote -- certainly didn't help either with the unholy accusations.

Welp, as it turns out ... there's nothing un-godly about this pendant at all -- at least that's what we're being told anyway.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that the piece was designed by celeb jeweler Alex Moss, and it's just a sweet piece of ice with no devil ties behind it whatsoever. We're told the pendant is made from black gold, a new material that's been developed and which Alex is using in a forthcoming collection this cross also has baby pink sapphires all throughout.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Our sources say Ice is the first star of her caliber to have this sort of piece in her possession -- and she has Carti to thank for it ... we're told he actually gifted it to her not too long ago.

While the dude is certainly known for his gothic/vampire vibes these days -- our sources assure us ... there was nothing satanic behind the meaning/design of the piece, which we're told was a collab effort between Alex and PBC.

Hard to tell if people will buy that ... but that's the explanation that's been provided to us.

Whether it leans toward the dark side or not -- 'cause frankly, who the hell knows what's in people's hearts -- what we can gather from this is ... the chain is freakin' dope, and it's rare.

Anyhoo ... it's just the latest star to fight off accusations of dancin' with the prince of darkness.

Un video parece captar disparos de un tirador activo En la iglesia de Joel Osteen

se oyen disparos
Lakewood Church

Un tirador activo al parecer disparó dentro de Lakewood Church, la casa de culto de Joel Osteen en Houston y el momento fue capturado en video.

Los medios de comunicación locales están reportando disparos que comenzaron alrededor de las 2 PM hora local, justo cuando un servicio de habla hispana hizo el llamado al que  departamento del Sheriff respondió rápidamente.

Estaba comenzando un sermón cuando se sintieron varios estallidos. Se puede ver a la gente bajando por las escaleras mecánicas hasta que la emisión se cortó, mostrando simplemente el logotipo de Lakewood en la pantalla.

Testigos presenciales relataron a medios locales que hubo pánico y confusión entre los asistentes a la iglesia mientras intentaban salir rápidamente del local.

Según los informes, los ayudantes del sheriff se enfrentaron a un posible sospechoso, intercambiando disparos dentro de la iglesia. Un sheriff local tuiteó que un sospechoso ha sido abatido, aunque no está claro cuántos presuntos sospechosos estaban involucrados.

John Osteen -padre de Joel- abrió Lakewood Church a finales de 1950 y se ha convertido en una de las mayores mega-iglesias en los Estados Unidos. Joel se hizo cargo de la iglesia tras el fallecimiento de su padre en 1999.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Joel sobre el tiroteo, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Joel Osteen Active Shooter Reported at Lakewood Church

Lakewood Church

An active shooter reportedly fired shots inside Lakewood Church -- Joel Osteen's house of worship in Houston ... and the moment was caught on video.

Local news outlets are reporting shooting began around 2 PM local time, just as a Spanish-language service was starting -- with the Sherriff's department quickly responding.

A clip, posted to X, shows a man seemingly beginning a sermon when several loud pops go off. People can be seen scrambling down escalators in the background, and the broadcast cuts to a screen of the Lakewood logo.

Eyewitnesses told local outlets there was panic and confusion among churchgoers as they quickly tried to exit the premises.

Deputies reportedly engaged with a possible suspect -- exchanging gunfire inside the church. A local sheriff tweeted out a suspect has been shot, though it's unclear how many alleged suspects were involved.

John Osteen -- Joel's father' opened Lakewood Church in the late 1950s, and it's grown into one of the largest megachurches in the United States -- Joel took over the church following his dad's passing in 1999.

We've reached out to Joel about the shooting ... so far no word back.

Bill Maher on Kanye West He's 'Charming Antisemite' ... But I'm Not Giving Him Air Time

Bill Maher says Kanye West's antisemitism and appeal to young people is a dangerous mix ... which is why Kanye's appearance on Bill's podcast won't ever see the light of day.

We talked to Bill for a new "TMZ Investigates" airing Monday at 9 PM ET/8 Central on FOX -- examining how Kanye's legacy as one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time is impacted by his public outbursts and hateful remarks -- and Bill says Kanye's views are way too problematic for him.

Bill tells us the biggest problem with Kanye is how he uses his massive platform to spread antisemitic propaganda ... as BM puts it, Ye's spreading the fertilizer for antisemitism to grow.

While Bill tried to have a meaningful dialogue with Kanye, bringing him in for a two-hour conversation on the "Club Random With Bill Maher" podcast, Bill says he ultimately decided against airing the episode because he didn't want to amplify Kanye's nasty rhetoric.

Elex Michaelson on Trump Taylor 'Holy War' Could Backfire ... Swifties Might Help Biden

Donald Trump should be cautious about poking the bear when it comes to attacking Taylor Swift ... so says a well-seasoned political talk show host and media personality.

FOX11 anchor and politico Elex Michaelson joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked him about the ramifications of Trump's inner circle vowing to wage a "holy war" on Taylor and any Democrats she may endorse ... which they're reportedly ready to do.

DON'T MESS WITH SWIFT
TMZ.com

Given Taylor's massive popularity right now -- coupled with the fact that she's dating a star player on an NFL team, who's about to play in the freaking Super Bowl -- Elex says DT and co. should be careful with how his campaign approaches Swift ... especially if it's to attack.

Elex says he worries Trump may wake up a sleeping giant here, and stir up Swifties en masse to hit the ballot box and vote for his opponent, Joe Biden, who is courting TS' endorsement. That might be a preemptively self-own, especially since she hasn't joined the Biden train yet.

Those same voters are also pretty young, for the most part, and that could hurt Trump too ... Elex explains. Considering Taylor has such influence over the youths in this country -- antagonizing her too early may well backfire if Trump goes in hard right now.

Another layer to this is Trump's potential loss being Biden's gain ... Elex points out Biden's struggled with some key demographics, and TS could help reel those voters back in ... at Trump's expense.

Of course, Elex says folks shouldn't be quick to dismiss Trump or write him off ... saying DT usually has a handle on how best to drum up his base. Fact is, he's run successful campaigns before and gotten tons of votes.

It's a pretty interesting conversation ... and Elex wonders if there's a scenario where Taylor helps both Trump and Biden. Take a listen to his ration -- he might have a point here.

La "guerra santa" de Trump contra Taylor Swift podría ser contraproducente Según Elex Michaelson

Donald Trump debería ser cauteloso a la hora de atacar a Taylor Swift, así lo dice un presentador político y personalidad de los medios de comunicación.

El presentador de FOX11 y político Elex Michaelson se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el miércoles y le preguntamos acerca de las ramificaciones del círculo íntimo de Trump prometiendo librar una "guerra santa" contra Taylor y cualquier demócrata que pueda apoyar ... que al parecer están dispuestos a llevarle la contra, dice Elex Michaelson

013124_elex_michaelson_kal 1/31/24
no te metas con swift
TMZ.com

Dada la popularidad masiva de Taylor en este momento, junto con el hecho de que ella está saliendo con un jugador estrella en un equipo de la NFL que está a punto de jugar en el maldito Super Bowl, Elex dice que Trump y compañía deben tener cuidado con la forma en que su campaña se acerca a Swift ... sobre todo si es para atacar.

Elex dice que le preocupa que Trump pueda despertar a un gigante dormido y agitar a los Swifties en masa para que acudan a las urnas y voten a su oponente, Joe Biden, que está cortejando el respaldo de Taylor. Eso podría ser un autoapoyo preventivo, sobre todo porque ella aún no se ha subido al tren de Biden.

Estamos hablando de votantes en su mayoría jóvenes, y eso también podría perjudicar a Trump, explica Elex. Teniendo en cuenta que Taylor tiene tanta influencia sobre los jóvenes de este país, enemistarse con ella demasiado pronto puede resultar contraproducente si Trump entra con fuerza ahora mismo.

Otra capa de esto es la pérdida potencial de Trump ante Biden. Elex señala que Biden ha tenido problemas con algunos grupos demográficos clave, y Taylor podría ayudar a recuperar a esos votantes a expensas de Trump.

Por supuesto, Elex dice que la gente no debe apresurarse en descartar a Trump, diciendo que Donald por lo general tiene un as bajo la manga. El hecho es que ha corrido campañas exitosas antes y consiguió un montón de votos.

Es una conversación bastante interesante y Elex se pregunta si sería posible un scenario en el que Taylor fuera de ayuda para ambos. Échale un vistazo a la conversación, podría tener un punto aquí.

Trippie Redd I'm No F***** Devil Worshipper ... Where You Getting That?!?

013024_trippie_redd_kal
JUST A LIFESTYLE!!!

Trippie Redd is distancing himself from all things demonic ... this after YEARS of, in his eyes, unfounded accusations he's a pawn of Satan!!!

An incensed Trippie launched into a tirade Tuesday, laying into anyone who wanted to attach any antichrist connotation to his name.

In the posted video, Trippie fumed, "Stop saying I worship the f****** devil!!! I can't wear all black? I've been wearing all black -- that's my thing!!!"

Now, according to him, he's just a Goth guy from Ohio who likes black cats and furniture ... born to be the "sad-boy." He also explained his many face tattoos are simply the type of art he prefers.

Trippie was adamant he had no idea where fans were getting the satanic sticks and stones -- but it's kinda hard to deny the Diamond-selling rapper has leaned into the occult throughout his career ... like the time he adopted '666' for his brand.

Or when he released his "Demon Time" music video where he twists his hair into devil horns, and he and Ski Mask the Slump God killed people outside a seedy motel.

Even his peers took notice ... Meek Mill publicly roasted Trippie for allegedly having a dark soul and being a snitch a few months ago.

And, that was after DJ Akademiks' fiery rant aimed at Trippie, Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert for still pushing for shock value tactics after their fans had grown up.

Wherever it all started, Trippie's looking to clear it up once and for all. See ya in church!!!

Jonathan Majors está hablando sobre su vida después de ser declarado culpable en un caso de violencia doméstica y dice que está siendo positivo tras el veredicto.

TMZ se encontró con el actor de "Creed III" el lunes en West Hollywood, quien nos cuenta que a pesar de que el juicio lo impactó, ha estado aferrándose a la fe y a la oración para encontrar un poco de luz en este tiempo oscuro, y añadió: "Dios es bueno".

Enfocarse en la religión definitivamente parece estar haciendo maravillas. Majors estaba sonriente y relajado durante nuestra interacción, aunque cuando se sintió presionado a hablar sobre cuestiones del trabajo en el futuro nos dijo que era suficiente por ahora.

Los asuntos relacionados con su carrera son claramente un tema delicado para Jonathan Majors. El actor fue despedido de una serie de proyectos después de su veredicto, incluyendo todos los proyectos de Marvel, que es, en general, un pináculo financiero para cualquier actor, por lo que solo podemos suponer que fue difícil cuando decidieron sacarlo.

Está por verse lo que va a decir cuando esté enfrente del juez el próximo 6 de febrero, y se enfrente hasta un año tras las rejas.

Aunque no se atrevió a hablar de su futuro profesional, Majors está probablemente mirando en el largo plazo para restablecer su carrera como actor.

Work-related matters are clearly a sore subject for JM ... he was booted from a series of projects following his guilty verdict, including all Marvel projects -- which is, generally, a financial pinnacle for any actor, so we can only assume it was a bummer for him when they pulled the rug from under his feet.

Alabama Nitrogen Execution Kenneth Eugene Smith Suffers Pain And Misery ... As Horrified Family Watches

Convicted killer Kenneth Eugene Smith was executed Thursday by the state of Alabama using a new deadly procedure, as his wife and pastor looked on in absolute horror at his excruciatingly painful reaction.

Smith was ushered inside the execution chamber at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, where prison staff put him in restraints and fitted a gas mask over his face to suffocate him with nitrogen hypoxia. He became the first ever inmate to be put to death utilizing this method.

Before the execution began at 8:07 PM CST, Smith made a heart sign with his left hand to his family who was present before saying his final words through his mask: "Tonight Alabama causes humanity to take a step backwards... I’m leaving with love, peace, and light."

"UNBELIEVABLE EVIL"

The next 18 minutes turned into a nightmare for Smith and his two closest confidantes -- namely his wife, Deanna, and his spiritual guide, Jeff Hood, both of whom were in the witness box.

Hood later told the Daily Mail ... the execution was the "worst thing" he had ever seen, even causing prison officials to gasp while Smith died much slower than anticipated.

The pastor also said Smith started convulsing with his body popping up on the gurney after correctional officers pumped his mask full of nitrogen hypoxia, forcing him to inhale high concentrations of the gas.

At one point, Deanna cried out for her dying husband as he grabbed at his restraints, taking his last breaths before he suffocated. Smith was sentenced to death in 1996 for killing a preacher's wife, Elizabeth Sennett, as part of a $1,000 murder-for-hire plot.

He was pronounced dead at 8:25 PM CST.

Smith was 58.

Ejecución en Alabama Kenneth Eugene Smith sufre dolor y miseria... Mientras su familia observa

El asesino convicto Kenneth Eugene Smith fue ejecutado el jueves por el estado de Alabama utilizando un nuevo procedimiento mortal. Todo esto, mientras su esposa y su pastor miraban con horror absoluto su reacción al insoportable dolor.

Smith fue introducido en la cámara de ejecución del centro penitenciario William C. Holman de Atmore, donde el personal penitenciario lo inmovilizó y le colocó una máscara de gas en la cara para asfixiarlo con hipoxia de nitrógeno. Se convirtió así en el primer recluso condenado a muerte por este método.

Antes de que comenzara la ejecución a las 8:07 PM CST, Smith hizo una señal de corazón con su mano izquierda a su familia que estaba presente antes de decir sus últimas palabras a través de su máscara: "Esta noche Alabama hace que la humanidad dé un paso atrás... Me voy con amor, paz y luz".

Los 18 minutos siguientes se convirtieron en una pesadilla para Smith y sus dos confidentes más cercanos: su esposa Deanna y su guía espiritual Jeff Hood, quienes estaban presentes.

Hood dijo más tarde al Daily Mail que la ejecución fue lo "peor'" que había visto nunca, e incluso causó el impacto de algunos funcionarios de la prisión mientras Smith fallecía, mucho más lento de lo previsto.

El pastor también dijo que Smith comenzó a convulsionar en la camilla después de que los funcionarios le pusieron la máscara de hipoxia de nitrógeno y lo obligaron a inhalar altas concentraciones del gas.

En un momento dado, Deanna gritó por su marido mientras este se agarraba a sus ataduras, dando sus últimas bocanadas de aire antes de asfixiarse. Smith fue condenado a muerte en 1996 por matar a la esposa de un predicador, Elizabeth Bennett, como parte de un complot de asesinato por encargo valorado en 1.000 dólares

Fue declarado muerto a las 8:25 PM CST.

Smith tenía 58 años.

Kanye West Rocks Burzum Shirt ... Neo-Nazi Singer's Face Plastered

Kanye West seems to be embracing Nazi sentiments yet again -- this time wearing a shirt with the face of a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi who's very well known in the metal scene.

Rapper JPEGMAFIA posted a pic Friday showing him standing next to Ye ... with the latter flashing his new platinum "teeth" and JPEG just muggin'. Just a few days ago, JPEG was publicly griping that KW wasn't acknowledging his talents in the studio ... now, this.

On its face, it looks like he and Ye made peace and came together for this photo-op -- but the bigger takeaway is Yeezy's wardrobe here ... specifically, what he's wearing up top.

It's a band T-shirt for the Norwegian black metal group BURZUM, and a photo of their lead singer Varg Vikernes plastered right below. The problem ... Varg is a known antisemite, something that's been well-documented in his career, for which he's faced legal trouble too.

The question ... why the hell is Ye wearing a shirt with a known neo-Nazi on it???

Of course, Kanye himself has been embroiled in nonstop controversy over the past year and change as it pertains to antisemitism -- and while he has attempted to walk those statements back of late, here he is within the past day or so rockin' a freaking BURZUM shirt.

It's possible Ye doesn't know about Varg's neo-Nazi ties -- but frankly, it's way too much of a coincidence considering the timing of everything. There's also an album cover connection.

When Kanye revealed the cover art for his new album "Vultures" ... folks quickly noticed that it looked very similar to BURZUM's album cover art over the years -- like, down to a T almost.

Now, if Kanye is aware who Varg is and what his ugly history entails -- which many suspect to be the case -- it would certainly seem to lend more credence to the notion that his apology in Hebrew last month was ... well, kinda meaningless.

We already shed light on the fact that his mea culpa may well have been generated by AI -- and remember, we just reported that he was said to have recorded some lengthy new apology on camera quite recently ... which we're told was rambling and all over the place.

With this latest development ... we're not really sure Kanye where stands on all this. On its face, though ... it would appear not much has changed in terms of how he feels about Jews.

Kanye West Usa una camiseta con la cara de un neonazi confeso

Kanye West parece estar abrazando sus sentimientos nazis de nuevo, esta vez usando una camiseta con la cara de un autoproclamado neonazi muy conocido en la escena del metal.

El rapero JPEGMAFIA publicó el viernes una foto en la que aparece de pie junto a Ye, con este mostrando sus nuevos "dientes" de platino. Hace apenas unos días, JPEG se quejaba públicamente de que Kanye no estaba reconociendo su talento en el estudio y ahora esto.

Por sus caras, parece que él y Ye hicieron las paces y se reunieron para esta foto, pero lo más importante es el vestuario de Yeezy, específicamente lo que lleva en la parte superior.

Esta es una camiseta del grupo noruego de black metal BURZUM y una foto de su vocalista Varg Vikernes justo debajo. El problema es que Varg es un conocido antisemita, algo que ha sido bien documentado en su carrera y que le ha causado problemas legales también.

La pregunta es, ¿por qué demonios Ye lleva una camiseta con un conocido neonazi?

Por supuesto, el propio Kanye ha estado envuelto en la controversia sin parar durante el último año en lo que respecta al antisemitismo y sus cambios de opinión. Aunque ha tratado de retractarse de esas declaraciones en el último tiempo, aquí está de nuevo, usando una camiseta de BURZUM.

Es posible que Ye no sepa nada de los lazos neonazis de Varg, pero francamente, es demasiada coincidencia teniendo en cuenta el momento en que se produce todo esto. También hay una conexión con la portada del álbum.

Cuando Kanye reveló el arte de su nuevo álbum "Vultures", las personas rápidamente se dieron cuenta de que se parecía mucho al de la portada del álbum de BURZUM en los últimos años, quizás demasiado parecida.

Ahora, si Kanye es consciente de quién es Varg y su historia, que muchos sospechan es el caso, sin duda parece dar más credibilidad a la idea de que su disculpa en hebreo el mes pasado no tenía ningún sentido.

Ya hemos arrojado luz sobre el hecho de que su mea culpa bien pudo haber sido generado por IA y recuerden, acabamos de informar de que grabó una larga nueva disculpa en cámara hace muy poco, donde se dice que estaba divagando y todo eso.

Con este último desarrollo, no estamos realmente seguros de lo que piensa Kanye en todo esto. A primera vista, sin embargo, parece que no ha cambiado mucho en términos de cómo se siente acerca de los judíos.
