Tom Sandoval Dancing With Mystery Woman ... Nashville Bar Pickup?!?

NEW BOO???
TMZ.com

Here's Tom Sandoval putting the moves on a woman he took an interest in at a Tennessee bar ... dancing with her before leaving together.

TMZ obtained video of the "Vanderpump Rules" star hitting the dance floor with a mystery brunette ... and it looks like there were sparks.

Folks who were there tell us Tom was at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Nashville, where Tom first approached the woman as she was dancing with her friends.

We're told the woman seemed hesitant at first, but then she started dancing with Tom ... and they started warming up to one another and things got wilder and wilder as they danced for about 30 minutes.

As you see in the video, it's a little awkward at first as they try and feel each other out ... with Tom trying to get her to twirl.

Sounds like they may have hit it off though ... because we're told Tom and the woman ended up leaving together. We don't know where they went.

The last time we saw Tom out was in early September when he was leaving a bar in West Hollywood with singer-songwriter Tii ... holding hands and interlocking fingers as they went back to his place.

No word about how things worked out with Tom and Tii ... but he's not known as a one-woman man.

Do you think Tom Sandoval will announce a new relationship in the next 6 months? Vote below.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Empresas de Kansas City se suben a la ola de rumores ¡También los vimos aquí!

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han puesto a Kansas City de cabeza. Supuestos avistamientos han causado que cientos de fans se agolpen en los negocios locales sin razonamiento alguno.

Por ejemplo, una multitud masiva se formó afuera de Free State Brewing Company en Lawrence el lunes, después de que la oleada de rumores decidiera que Taylor y Travis estaban cenando allí. Un empleado de la cervecería nos dijo que hicieron saber a los Swifties que ellos no estaban allí, pero los fans no se lo creían.

Esto se ha convertido en un juego tipo Whac-A-Mole, que los negocios locales están utilizando para el marketing viral.

The Dentists In Lawrence publicó: "Se rumorea que Taylor Swift pasó a hacerse una limpieza dental después de salir hoy de Free State Brewery".

Los Kansas Rebels Baseball Class de 2030 también entraron en acción, escribiendo: "Nos gustaría abordar el supuesto rumor de que Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce fueron vistos en la práctica con los Rebels esta tarde".

El Programa de Trabajo para el Éxito de Lawrence puso esto: "¡¡¡Taylor Swift estaba tan intrigada con la clase!!! Muy atenta. ¡Ella es una gran oyente y ofreció algunos consejos maravillosos! No puedo creer los rumores de que ella se tomara el tiempo para pasar por algunas de las pequeñas empresas Lawrence!"

Como informamos, la línea de ropa KidSuper sacó provecho de la atención mundial que Taylor y Travis han estado recibiendo, cambiando el nombre del outfit que Travis llevaba puesto mientras fue visto con Taylor por el de su álbum "1989".

Por cierto, el gerente de la cervecería nos dice que los fans de Taylor no eran muy buenos clientes, y que estaban mucho más atentos a espiar que a comprar.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Kansas City Businesses Fuel Rumor Mill ... They're At Our Shop, Too!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have turned Kansas City upside down ... false sightings have caused swarms of fans to descend on local businesses, and there's no reasoning with them.

A massive crowd formed outside Free State Brewing Company in Lawrence, KS Monday, after the rumor mill decided Taylor and Travis were dining there. An employee at the brewery told us they let the Swifties know T&T were not in the house, but fans weren't buying it.

It's become a Whac-A-Mole-type game, one local businesses are using for viral marketing.

The Dentists In Lawrence posted, "Rumor has it Taylor Swift stopped by to get her teeth cleaned after she left Free State Brewery today."

The Kansas Rebels Baseball Class of 2030 got in on the action, writing, "We would like to address the alleged rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted at practice with the Rebels this afternoon."

The Lawrence Work for Success Program put this out ... "Taylor Swift was so intrigued with class!!! Very attentive. She's a great listener and offered some wonderful advice! Can't believe the rumors that she took the time to stop by some of the Lawrence small business!"

As we reported, clothing line KidSuper cashed in on the worldwide attention Taylor and Travis have been getting ... by changing the name of the 'fit Travis was wearing while spotted with Taylor to align with her "1989" album.

LAUREN BOEBERT Drag Queen del bar de su cita cuenta... ¡Quinn tiene un buen corazón!

091523-lauren-boebert-kal 9/10/23
Toqueteos en el teatro

La drag queen que actuó en el bar de propiedad del tipo que acarició las tetas de la representante Lauren Boebert tiene un pequeño secreto sucio sobre ellos.

TMZ habló con Kendra Matic, la única drag performer que subió al escenario en el bar de Aspen de Quinn Gallagher (la cita de Boebert) en enero, y nos dio un montón de información sobre esta saga que nadie parece haber sabido hasta ahora.

Kendra Matic
es un buen tipo
TMZ.com

Para empezar, Kendra nos dijo que apoya 100% a Quinn, a quien define como un gran tipo, con el que sin duda volvería a trabajar si la llamara para otro espectáculo. Kendra dice que la actuación de este año salió muy bien e insiste en que QG tiene un buen corazón.

Es por el cariño que le tiene a Quinn que Kendra no puede entender su relación con la congresista republicana, y sí, estamos usando ese término especialmente aquí.

091823_lauren_boebert_kal 9/18/23
me siento bien
TMZ.com

De cualquier modo, de acuerdo con Kendra, Boebert y Gallagher había estado saliendo por un tiempo, algo de lo que varios en la zona eran conscientes, según ella. Por lo tanto, la idea de que este habría sido el primer encuentro entre ellos parece ser falsa.

Vamos a dejar que Kendra hable por sí misma sobre lo que puede o no revelar de los chismes sobre RLB y Quinn en la ciudad, pero digamos que en una ciudad pequeñas... las personas suelen hablar, y mucho.

Ahora sobre Boebert, Kendra dice que hizo sus tareas y vio algunas de las cosas que ha dicho la Representante sobre temas LGBTQ +, de lo cual es muy opositora, como está bien documentado, y ella dice que la decepciona que Quinn esté con alguien así.

Dicho esto ... Kendra no está dando la espalda a su amigo, solo está condenando a Boebert. Hablando de cosas jugosas... ¡esta historia solo sigue dando que hablar!

Rep. Lauren Boebert Drag Queen at Date's Bar ... Spills the Tea, Defends Quinn!!!

091523-lauren-boebert-kal 9/10/23
TOUCHY TWOSOME

The drag queen who performed at the bar owned by the guy who was fondling Rep. Lauren Boebert's boobs last week says contrary to Boebert's claim, that date wasn't #1.

TMZ talked to Kendra Matic ... who was the lone drag performer who took the stage at Quinn Gallagher's Aspen bar back in January, and she gave us a LOT of previously unknown insight into this whole saga.

Kendra Matic
HE'S A GOOD GUY!!!
TMZ.com

For starters, KM tells us she 100% stands behind Quinn -- whom she says is a great guy who she would definitely work with again if he called her for another drag show. Kendra says the gig earlier this year went really well ... and insists QG's got a good heart.

It's because of how fond she is of Quinn that Kendra can't understand his relationship with the Republican congresswoman -- and yes, we're using that term specifically here.

091823_lauren_boebert_kal 9/18/23
FEELIN' GOOD!!!
TMZ.com

As it turns out -- according to Kendra, anyway -- Boebert and Gallagher had actually been seeing each other for a while ... something Kendra says quite a few people in the area were aware of. So, the notion this was a first-time hookup, as Boebert hinted, appears to be bogus.

We'll let Kendra talk for herself here on what she can and can't reveal about the gossip around town over RLB and Quinn -- but let's just say ... a small town talks!

Now, on Boebert herself ... Kendra tells us she's done her homework and seen some of the nasty things the representative has said about LGBTQ+ issues -- and she's disappointed that Quinn is into a person like that.

With that said ... Kendra isn't turning her back on her dude. She's just condemning Boebert specifically. Talk about hot tea in the Rockies -- this story just keeps on giving!

Diddy 'Love' Album Release Party Brings Out Big Celebs, Big Shots!!! 🍾

091523-diddy-kal
CHEERS TO THE ALBUM!!!
TMZ.com

Diddy's star-studded new album dropped Friday and he threw a blowout bash in New York City to match the tracklist!!!

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop Diddy rented out Sei Less NYC for his "Love Album: Off The Grid" release party ... a special occasion seeing as how the restaurant extended its usual midnight shutdown time, so the shindig could go until 4 AM!!!

The moment he entered the bash, Diddy hit up the venue's co-owner Dara Mirjahangiry for a bottle of Ace of Spades, and raised glasses with Yung Miami, Jadakiss, French Montana, Shyne, Jozzy and his sons Quincy and Justin Combs.

FEELIN' THE LOVE
TMZ.com

We're told the 'Love' album was playing to get the party started, and once the shots from Diddy's DeLeon Tequila began to flow ... they launched into an impromptu karaoke session.

Keyshia Cole led the sing-along to her classic "Love" track and Diddy commanded The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Warning" for the crowd.

Fans have been rallying around the R&B compilation, and its lead-off music vid also dropped on Friday ... "Another One of Me" featuring French, 21 Savage and The Weeknd in his final appearance with that stage name.

Love is in the air ... and the DSPs.

Robin Thicke Drunkenly Stumbles Outside Club ... 'That's Embarrassing!!!'

SHRUB STUMBLE
BACKGRID

Robin Thicke looks like he was seeing blurred lines during a night on the town, stumbling into a potted plant ... and wrestling with his fiancée April Love Geary as she tries to get him to leave.

The singer appeared intoxicated Thursday night outside The Fleur Room in West Hollywood, and April certainly thought he was ... as she put it, "his bitch ass is so drunk."

The video picks up with Robin trying to grab a bag from April outside the club entrance, but she breaks away from him and hails a ride ... and then he stumbles on his way back into the club, falling into a bush.

April calls him out for being wasted, and says he's embarrassing them with his behavior ... telling the bouncer to not let him back inside.

Robin continues trying to get his hands on April's phone, for some reason, and they get into a physical struggle on the sidewalk as she pleads for him to quit.

Eventually, a black SUV pulls up and Robin holds April in a bear hug from behind as she struggles to get to the car. Robin is smiling and laughing the whole time, but April's clearly not amused as they finally climb into the vehicle.

No word if Robin's nursing a hangover, but based on this video ... it's a safe bet.

Robin Thicke Se tambalea borracho a la salida de un club ¡Esto es vergonzoso!

tropiezo en un arbusto
BACKGRID

Robin Thicke pareciera estar viendo líneas borrosas durante una noche de fiesta en la ciudad, en donde se lo vio tropezar con un arbusto y juguetear con su novia April Love Geary, mientras ella intentaba llevárselo a casa.

El cantante apareció intoxicado el jueves por la noche fuera de The Fleur Room en West Hollywood. En palabras de April, este "bitch ass" estaba súper borracho.

El video comienza con Robin tratando de agarrar una bolsa de April afuera del club. Ella se separa de él, llama a un conductor y luego Robin se tambalea en su camino de regreso al club, casi cayendo sobre un arbusto.

Ahí, April le llama la atención por estar tan borracho y le dice que los está avergonzando con su comportamiento. Al mismo tiempo, le dice al portero que no lo deje volver a entrar.

Robin insiste en su intento de agarrar el teléfono de April, por alguna razón, y se enzarzan en una pelea física en la acera mientras ella le suplica que la deje.

Finalmente, un todoterreno negro se detiene y Robin abraza a April por detrás mientras ella lucha por llegar al carro. Robin está sonriendo y riéndose todo el tiempo, pero a April no le hace ninguna gracia todo el espectáculo cuando por fin se suben al vehículo.

No se sabe si Robin tiene resaca, pero basándonos en este video... es una apuesta segura.

Memphis Bleek Still Pushing for JAY-Z EP But 40/40 Club Coming Bigger Than Ever!!!

WISHFUL THINKING
TMZ.com

Memphis Bleek hears the fans loud and clear ... he's totally on board to record a collab project with Jay-Z but he's not the one who needs convincing!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Roc Nation legend outside of LAX and he tells us he's constantly sending Jay material to record, and even gets rejected from time to time.

Bleek jokes he should've attempted the Jay duet album when his bank account was sitting at $100 mil as opposed to his current billionaire status -- but he points out, he was riding with Team Roc well before Jay started stacking commas.

Jay handpicked Bleek to rap alongside him when he was just a teen in their Marcy Housing projects in Brooklyn, and Bleek thinks their collab would be a fitting close to their "Coming Of Age" saga ... which details their relationship.

Bleek also gave us an update on Jay's storied 40/40 Club, which closed its doors without warning after 20 years this week.

What appeared to be a setback is actually the dawn of another venture ... Bleek says they're bringing the 40/40 to midtown NYC sometime in 2024, and they're already taking applications for beautiful women to handle the VIP bottle service!!!

DIFFERENT GAME
TMZ.com

The "My Mind Right" rapper also gave us his 2¢ on the current state of hip hop, including his earnest reasoning as to why things have gone stale. Like many of his fellow rappers, Bleek feels the genre's lacking creativity -- mainly because copycatting isn't frowned upon in the younger generation.

He wasn't a total downer, though ... between Roc Nation and Warehouse Music, Bleek is confident rap music will thrive very soon. We're gonna hold him to that!

Lil Baby Restaurant Pushes Back On Bad Review

Lil Baby opened his Seafood Menu restaurant last month in Atlanta ... and is already learning the ins and outs of customer service.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

One woman who seemingly recently stopped by the joint posted a very detailed negative review of Baby's spot that made its rounds on Instagram and TikTok this week.

According to the woman, the restaurant gave her a half piece of fish as one of her ordered items and she further accused them of trying to conceal it under a whole fish.

She also claims to have been shorted 2 shrimp from her 6-piece order, and gave the fries a thumbs down.

Management for Baby's establishment tells TMZ Hip Hop, "Seafood Menu greatly appreciates all feedback, regardless of its nature, as it contributes to the continuous improvement of our customer service. We recently became aware of a video circulating on social media, which appears to depict a to-go order from our opening day."

GRAND OPENING

They continue, "However, we are unable to verify the timing of the video in relation to the food order. It's worth noting that our opening day saw an impressive turnout of over 2,000 patrons, with nearly 99% of reviews being positive. While we regret not having the chance to directly address this concern, we remain dedicated to enhancing our services and serving our underserved community to the best of our ability."

Running restaurants is no easy task ... Baby's got his work cut out for him. Time to drip even harder!!!

Lizzo Showed Interest In Banana Sex Show ... Now Being Sued Over It!!!

Lizzo kept an eye on the famed banana sex show in Amsterdam for years ... sharing her desires way before being sued for allegedly pressuring backup dancers to get in on the act.

Here's the deal ... Lizzo talked about wanting to go to a specific live sex show in the city's infamous Red Light District during a 2019 interview with an Amsterdam radio station ... the same show she's now being sued over.

In her interview with 3FM DJ Frank van der Lende, Lizzo reveals her love for live sex shows in Amsterdam ... and she asks the hosts about the banana sex show, where patrons eat bananas out of sex performers' vaginas.

Lizzo excitedly talks about her desire to find out where the banana show happens ... explaining, "That's what I want to do, I need my potassium if you know what I'm saying. My puss-tassium."

The radio hosts tell Lizzo the place she's looking for is Bananenbar ... a venue that's mentioned several times in the lawsuit she's now facing.

As we reported ... Lizzo is being sued by 3 of her former backup dancers, who say they were sexually denigrated by Lizzo while on the job.

LIZZO UNDER LITIGATION
TMZ.com

In the suit, the dancers claim during a February 2023 tour stop in Amsterdam, Lizzo took them to Bananenbar and pressured them to interact with the sex performers.

The dancers claim "Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas."

It's unclear if the alleged incident was Lizzo's first time at Bananenbar ... but she's clearly had the banana sex show on her mind since 2019 at least.

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

Randy Moss Works Shift At His New Restaurant ... Taste My Chicken & Donuts!!!

Randy Moss worked a shift at his new restaurant over the weekend ... doling out so much chicken and donuts to a massive crowd, it's safe to say he made a whole lot of straight cash, homie!!!

Now, after opening the Philly spot with Tolliferreo by his side ... Moss tells TMZ Sports he's got further plans to bring the food to his home state of West Virginia and more.

Tim and his band played a secret, invite-only show Monday night at Whisky a Go Go, but rather than sneak in the backdoor, he decided to greet fans in front of the joint ... walking from the London Hotel to the Whisky, and handing out plenty of high-fives in the process.

Once inside, Tim treated fans to a setlist that included everything from his old hits like "Something Like That," "Real Good Man," "The Cowboy in Me" and "Indian Outlaw" to some new songs off his forthcoming album "Standing Room Only."

There's no slowing Jason Aldean's controversial song "Try That In A Small Town" ... it's getting tons of play, especially at his own bar.

TMZ obtained this video from Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar in Nashville, where the band played the song a few times in front of a packed house.

Jason wasn't there himself Wednesday night during the song's live performances ... instead, the singer was Jamie Baxter.

As you know, the song's become a lightning rod ... and a hit.

On the one hand, lots of folks say the song and its music video are deeply offensive and racist ... but there are lots of folks defending the track too, including Jeanine Pirro.

For his part, Jason says the song is not racist and not pro-lynching.

Over at Jason's bar, we're told the band performed the track twice within 45 minutes ... so it's obviously going over well on his home turf.

Bottom line ... this train has left the station.

Pauly Shore Bumped for Britney at Fancy Restaurant ... After Wembanyama Slap

Britney Spears wasn't the only one inconvenienced during the Victor Wembanyama slap saga in Sin City, because Pauly Shore lost his table at Catch ... and this one really hurts.

Folks who were dining at Catch at the same time as Britney, Wemby and Pauly tell TMZ … after the slapping incident, Britney went to dinner inside the fancy restaurant and her party was seated ... at the same booth where they had seated Pauly.

Turns out Pauly had just gotten seated, he got up to use the restroom, and when he came back, Britney and her group were at his table, where he had left his phone, glasses and fanny pack.

Britney's security, we're told, initially stopped Pauly from getting back to the table ... but they eventually let him through.

We're told Paul greeted Britney and they both kind of laughed off the seating situation, and her manager, Cade Hudson, handed over Pauly's things.

Ultimately, we're told Pauly got seated at a different table ... it's unclear if this was just a mix-up or if Catch deliberately bumped him for BS. ET first reported on Pauly's table mishap.

TMZ.com

As we first reported ... video shows Britney approaching Victor on their way into Catch and getting slapped by his security, and eyewitnesses say Britney was in shock and angry during dinner.

Cops investigated the slapping incident and decided against pursuing criminal charges against Wemby's security.

No word if Pauly's planning to incorporate this into his next stand-up routine.

Britney Spears Eyewitness says ... In Shock, Angry after the Slap

Britney Spears was extremely agitated after getting slapped by a security guard protecting NBA phenom Victor Wembanyama ... according to an eyewitness and photos obtained by TMZ.

TMZ broke the story ... Britney was outside Catch restaurant at the Aria Hotel Wednesday night when she saw Victor and made her way to him for a selfie. She says she tapped him on the back -- he says she grabbed him -- and Victor's security guy backhanded her across the face. Metro police are now conducting a criminal battery investigation.

An eyewitness who was dining at Catch when Britney walked in tells TMZ ... as she walked in she said in a "very animated voice" that the security guard "punched" her in the face, as she pointed at the guy who was sitting at another table.

The eyewitness says Britney's security guy went over to Victor's security and asked the guy to come over to her table and apologize. The eyewitness says the guy walked over and said "I'm sorry," and said something to the effect he didn't know it was her when he made contact.

Britney seemed in shock, according to the eyewitness, and angry. She said she couldn't believe it happened and beelined it for the bathroom.

We've learned so far ... neither Victor nor anyone else from the San Antonio Spurs has reached out to Britney, and she is not pleased.

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