Britney Spears I Get Sentimental on NYE Over My Sons

Britney Spears decided imagery was more powerful than words ... so she posted a couple of pics of her 2 sons without saying anything.

Sean Preston and Jayden James were front and center on Britney's last Insta posts of the year. The pics go back to happier times ... Britney and her kids holding some pups and looking super happy.  And then 2 pics just showing them goofing around.

It's going on at least 2 years since Britney's even seen her sons. They made it clear a while ago, they did not want to see their mom while she was acting out on social media, because they found it embarrassing.

Britney went after them after they suggested she needed mental health treatment ... she essentially called them ungrateful freeloaders.

The kids left for Hawaii several months ago with their dad, Kevin Federline ... a move to which Britney did not object. We're told the kids now text her occasionally, but there has been no face-to-face contact for 2 years ... maybe longer.

Britney seems ready to repair at least a few of her relationships ... Lynne Spears has visited Britney a few times recently, and Brit's in contact with Jamie Lynn.

As for her dad, Jamie, Britney posted a throwback pic of him with the kids the day TMZ broke the story Jamie had one of his legs amputated because of a terrible infection, but our sources say she has not reached out to him.

New year, new beginnings?

El Presidente de Argentina se besa apasionadamente con su novia en el escenario

milei besando a su novia

El nuevo presidente de Argentina es un tipo duro, pero no tanto como su novia, con la que estuvo acariciándose y besándose en el escenario delante de todo el mundo... y todo quedó en video.

Javier Milei aterrizó el viernes en la ciudad de Mar de Plata para asistir a la obra de teatro en vivo de su novia, la actriz Fátima Flórez, que al parecer se llama como ella, "Fátima 100%". El presidente se subió al escenario mientras la gente estaba aplaudiendo y felicitó a la actriz él mismo.

Después de lanzar un discurso sobre los tiempos difíciles que Argentina está a punto de entrar en el arranque de su presidencia -que acaba de comenzar a finales de este año- besó Fátima apasionadamente.

Empezaron con un simple besito, pero rápidamente la cosa se puso caliente. La multitud podía verlo todo y los vitoreaba y silbaba. Una vez que terminaron, Fátima dijo unas palabras, agradeciendole a su novio para posteriormente salir con él del lugar.

No es la primera vez que la pareja se muestra así de cariñosa en público, de hecho suelen hacerlo siempre, lo que concuerda con la personalidad de Javier en general, un poco salvaje.

Su victoria presidencial fue vista como un cambio de juego, pero sobre todo porque es un poco como Donald Trump, en que su objetivo es desregular gran parte del gobierno de Argentina y el anillo en una nueva filosofía económica. Básicamente, él quiere hacer Argentina autosuficiente y magra.

Él cree que ya está en camino de hacer precisamente eso, hace unas semanas, devaluó la moneda de Argentina por la friolera de 50%... Javier dice que esto va a ayudar a estabilizar su economía a futuro.

Ha sido un mandato un poco torbellino hasta ahora y no ha hecho más que empezar. Abróchense los cinturones.

Argentina's Prez Javier Milei Steamy Make-Out Sesh with GF ... Onstage After Her Play!!!

123123_javier_milei_kal
MILEI MAKEOUT

Argentina's new president is a handful, but not nearly as much as his hot girlfriend -- who he was feeling up and locking lips with onstage in front of everyone ... and it's all on video.

Javier Milei touched down Friday in the city of Mar de Plata to catch his actress GF Fátima Flórez's live play -- which is apparently named after her, "Fatima 100%." Anyway, afterward ... the prez hopped onstage while people were applauding, and congratulated her himself.

After launching into a speech about the hard times Argentina is about to enter as he kicks off his presidency -- which just started late this year -- he smooched Fátima ... passionately.

They started with just a peck ... but quickly launched into full-blown tongue wars, showing off a ton of PDA to the crowd as they cheered and whistled. Once they were done, Fátima said a few words of her own, thanking her BF and then leaving with him shortly afterward.

This ain't the first time the couple has shown affection in public like this -- they actually tend to do it all the time ... which jibes with Javier's personality in general, AKA a lil' wild.

His presidential victory was seen as game-changing -- but mostly because he's a bit like Donald Trump, in that he's aiming to deregulate much of Argentina's government and ring in a new economic philosophy. Basically, he wants to make Argentina self-sufficient and lean.

He thinks he's already on course to do just that ... a few weeks ago, he devalued Argentina's currency by a whopping 50% -- which Javier says is going to help stabilize their economy.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind term thus far ... and he's just getting started. Buckle up!

En cuanto al futuro... ella se está preparando para hacer un paquete en redes sociales, lo cual es interesante. Antes de que la encerraran casi nadie podía ganarse la vida en las redes sociales, pero los tiempos cambian.

También está trabajando en algún tipo de programa/documental/reality show para A&E.

Por ahora, Gypsy está disfrutando de las cosas simples de la libertad después de cumplir siete años entre las rejas por el asesinato de su madre. Se hace selfies y visita McDonalds y Burger King.

Ahora lo hace a su manera.

Gypsy now has an eye-popping 4.7 million followers on Instagram. She's just pushed both her Snapchat and TikTok accounts on her Insta page. BTW she has 1.4 million TikTok fans.

She posted this ... "Just joined SnapChat. These avatars are awesome!" Also – she pushed the Lifetime special on there yesterday as well.

As for the future ... she's setting herself up to make a bundle on social media, which is interesting. When she was locked up, almost no one could make a living on social, but times change.

In the money department, she's also working on some kind of show/documentary/reality show for A&E.

For now, Gypsy is enjoying the simple things of freedom after serving 7 years behind bars for the murder of her mother. She's trying her hand at selfies, and hitting up McDonalds and Burger King.

She's having it her way now.

'Survivor' Champs Parvati & Erika Come Out As Members of LGBTQ Community

A couple of "Survivor" fan favorites gave show loyalists an update on their personal lives ... and whether it was a coincidence or not, both announcements came on the same day.

Parvati Shallow, considered one of the all-time best to hit the Survivor islands and winner of Survivor: Micronesia back in 2008, posted a set of cute pics of herself with comedian Mae Martin Saturday with the caption, "We’re here. We’re queer. Happy new year," followed by several emojis including a rainbow.

It's seemingly the first time there's been any indication the two were an item ... Parvati was previously married to Survivor contestant, John Fincher, but they separated in 2021. The two have one child together.

A few hours before Pavarti's post went up, Erika Casupanan, winner of Survivor 41 made a special announcement of her own thanks to a funny TikTok video.

In the video, Erika joked she attempted to do a viral challenge of eating grapes under a table in hopes of scoring a boyfriend, but instead chugged a bottle of wine ... leading her to realize she was a lesbian.

Both announcements have been getting a ton of love and support from Survivor fans ... and both contestants seem super happy.

Here's to new beginnings for both in 2024!!!

Selena Gomez What About My Relationship with Benny Don't You Understand?

Selena Gomez is making sure everyone who's a little slow on the uptake understands ... she's with Benny so get used to it.

SG posted another photo of her and Benny Blanco, snuggling and looking very much in love as they pose in front of an ocean. Not sure where they are, but it looks beautiful.

Selena has been taking fire from fans who think Benny's a downgrade from Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner, The Weeknd and Nick Jonas -- all her exes.

Selena's response ... she will never date "a f*** boy again."

Gomez and Blanco have been dating for a while now ... at least since her birthday in late July, although they didn't go public until early this month.

Benny's been treated unfairly, if you ask us. He's a successful music producer with credits that include "Moves Like Jagger" and Rihanna's "Diamonds," not to mention Katy Perry's "Teenage Dreams."

She's clearly into him, so her fans might do well to back off.

Cardi B 2024 Will Be a Toxic-Free Zone!!!

Cardi B seems a little annoyed by her fans ... many of whom don't believe her when she says she's moving on -- presumably from Offset.

Cardi tweeted, "I must be a lil toxic cuz I enjoyed cursing ya out today… but we not taking that into 2024. Now have a good day. No make it a bad day!"

It's actually mild compared to the video she posted on social, telling her legion of fans to "shut the f*** up" about her relationship status.

Fans started questioning her after Cardi and Offset were seen together on Xmas day ... unfair, because they spent it with the kids, and that doesn't mean she's backing down.

SHUT THE F*** UP!!!

Cardi said as much, when she liked a post essentially saying people were making up stories about a reconciliation.

Thing is ... AFTER Xmas, they were spotted in the same store in NYC, which led some fans to double down, suggesting Cardi was fully back with her hubby.

Jeremy Renner I Came Back to Thank You!!! One Year After Near-Fatal Snowplow Accident

Jeremy Renner marked a near-fatal anniversary with a return trip to the hospital and medical staff that saved his life.

Jeremy showed up Friday at the Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno ... nearly a year to the day after he was crushed by a snowplow. As you know, Jeremy actually jumped on the runaway plow to stop it, fearing it would run over his nephew. Jeremy fell off and was run over himself.

The 52-year-old actor thanked the doctors, nurses and others who cared for him ... taking photos and shaking lots of hands.

Renner also showed up at the local fire dept. to thank some of the first responders who rescued him.

Jeremy's injuries were gruesome ... more than 30 broken bones, a punctured liver, and one of his eyes popped out of his skill. Just horrific.

Trina Beyoncé's the Queen Of Rap ... She Dusts All Competition!!!

UPDATE

1:00 PM PT -- Just in case you didn't catch it first time, Trina is doubling down for all the "dusty crusty" types ... Beyoncé is her rap GOAT and there isn't a woman walking the earth who's gonna force her to change her opinion!!!

Trina is crowning Beyoncé as the best female rapper in Hip Hop's 50th year ... while acknowledging the "Renaissance" singer only raps in her spare time.

The bold pick came at this year's OneMusicFest in Atlanta when Trina credited Beyoncé for "opening the landscape" for female rapper's success in recent years.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Trina says Beyonce's rap alter-ego birthed inspiration for future female rappers around the globe and she gushed over Mrs. Carter's bars and rhymes.

Beyoncé has been known to bust a flow over the years ... she and her hubs Jay-Z released a joint album in 2018 and snagged a Grammy nomination for their single "Apeshit."

Trina's praise of Beyoncé didn't end with her mic skills ... the Miami rapper mourned the end of the Renaissance Tour and stated everything from the rap girlies has been basic ever since.

Let's hope Beyoncé has a big 2024 planned so Trina doesn't feel the void in the female rap scene much longer!!!

Sephora Customer Claims Body Butter Is Crack For Spiders

A Sephora customer has untangled a mysterious web ... why spiders can't get enough of their body butter.

A review on Sephora's site for Sol De Janeiro Body Butter set the internet wild, warning folks who are scared of wolf spiders not to butter their bodies, claiming the product is a magnet for the pesky insects.

The customer claims the bugs have appeared every day since using the lotion, adding, "one time, the spider wanted to eat whatever ingredient it is so bad that it chased me. I swear on everything. I'd run left, it ran left."

The bizarre review spun quite the web on the web, with a deep dive on Reddit ... where someone discovered a combination of farnesyl acetate and hexadecyl acetate often attracts male spiders.

The 2 chemicals are often used in skincare products, including body butter and lotion ... although it's not entirely clear if these are included in Sephora's product.

Maybe stay away from the lotion for a bit ... unless you're a fan of creepy crawlies.

Una clienta de Sephora afirma que su crema corporal atrae a las arañas

Una clienta de Sephora ha revelado una característica muy peculiar de un producto.

Una reseña de la manteca corporal Sol de Janeiro en la página web de Sephora ha desatado la locura en Internet, advirtiéndole a las personas que temen a las arañas lobo que no se unten el cuerpo con manteca, alegando que el producto atrae a los molestos arácnidos.

La clienta afirma que los bichos han aparecido todos los días desde que usa la loción, y añade: "Una vez, la araña quería comerse el ingrediente que fuera, tanto que me persiguió. Lo juro por todo. Yo corría a la izquierda, ella corría a la izquierda".

La extraña reseña dio bastante que hablar, con una inmersión profunda en Reddit... donde alguien descubrió que una combinación de acetato de farnesilo y acetato de hexadecilo suele atraer a las arañas macho.

Los 2 productos químicos se utilizan a menudo en productos de cuidado de la piel, incluyendo manteca corporal y loción ... aunque no está del todo claro si estos se incluyen en el producto de Sephora.

No te acerques a la loción durante un tiempo... a menos que te gusten las arañas.

Fantasia 'I'm Here' Belting It Out at Table Read ... For 'The Color Purple' Movie

122523_fantasia_kal
all out

Fantasia Barrino doesn't do anything half-ass, evident in the fact that she was singing her heart out during a table read for her new film ... just imagine how the real thing sounds.

The "American Idol" alum is part of the star-studded cast for "The Color Purple" -- which just got released into theaters today ... and which is stirring up a lot of Oscar buzz, not to mention a ton of praise for the musical performances -- including one from Fantasia.

She handles one big number in there, in particular, called "I'm Here" ... and on Sunday, her costar Colman Domingo posted a video from their final table read as a cast last year.

Check it out ... it's pretty incredible to see. Fantasia is fully in character as Celie, and she's belting out this song with everything she's got -- which makes for an awesome showcasing of her talent. You can tell the other actors were impressed, encouraging her along the way.

Fantasia has sung this song before ... as she played this exact role for the Broadway version of 'TCP' -- and now, she'll be doing it for the big screen -- which is pretty exciting to see.

The reviews for this film are pretty stellar, and it should make a splash at the box office.

Mind you, this version of "The Color Purple" is a full-blown musical ... so we're sure to see/hear a lot more performances like this one -- and the early word is, 'TCP' is a frontrunner for Best Picture at next year's Oscars ceremony since it's so freaking good.

Now, if only these leading ladies could earn what they're worth ... that would be GREAT!!!

El obispo se emociona al hablar de sus presuntos vínculos con Diddy

Un predicador de Texas dio un emotivo sermón abordando escandalosos rumores de TikTok relacionados con Diddy durante su servicio de Navidad del sábado.

T.D. Jakes, que ha sido tendencia esta semana luego de  que corrieran los rumores de una asociación con el asediado productor musical Diddy.

El predicador de 66 años comenzó diciendo que algunas personas entraron únicamente para escuchar lo que tenía que decir sobre los rumores y rápidamente dejó claro que no lo haría.

"Todos ustedes que están esperando que diga mentiras... olvídenlo", dijo Jakes con voz desafiante.

Y continuó: "No voy a utilizar este día sagrado y este púlpito sagrado para hablar de una mentira cuando tengo la oportunidad de predicar una verdad. Me mantendré erguido, con la cabeza erguida, la espalda recta y predicaré la palabra infalible y no adulterada de Dios".

Esta semana, el nombre de Jakes se ha visto envuelto en una maraña de rumores en Internet, con usuarios de las redes sociales afirmando que el predicador asistía a fiestas sexuales organizadas por Diddy y cuestionando su sexualidad.

Él ya había negado la afirmación a través de un representante de relaciones públicas, que calificó los rumores de "inequívocamente falsos y sin fundamento".

Por supuesto, una asociación con Diddy no siempre fue tabú, pero a raíz de múltiples demandas por agresión sexual, incluyendo una que resolvió con su ex, Cassie, las relaciones con él han atraído el escrutinio.

Sin embargo, todo parece como de costumbre para Jakes... predicando su verdad el día de Navidad.

Bishop T.D. Jakes Emotional Response to Diddy Connection ... Lies, Lies, Lies!!!

A Texas preacher gave an emotional sermon ... addressing scandalous Diddy-related TikTok rumors about himself during his Christmas service Saturday.

T.D. Jakes, who has been trending this week after rumors of an association with embattled music producer Diddy took hold online, denounced the rumors.

The 66-year-old preacher began by saying some people came in solely to hear what he had to say about the buzz ... and quickly made it clear he wouldn't.

"All of you who expect me to address a lie, you can log off," Jakes said in a defiant voice.

He continued, "I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have chance to preach a truth. I will stand straight up, head up, back straight and preach the unadulterated, infallible word of God."

Jakes' name has swirled on the internet rumor mill this week with social media users claiming the preacher attended sex parties hosted by Diddy and questioning his sexuality.

He'd already denied the claim through a PR rep, who called the rumors "unequivocally false and baseless."

Of course, an association with Diddy wasn't always taboo, but in the wake of multiple sexual assault lawsuits, including one he settled with ex Cassie, relationships with him have drawn scrutiny.

It all seems like business as usual for T.D. though ... preaching his truth for Christmas Day.

Mauricio Umansky Graba a Anitta y Lele Pons esquiando en toallas... En medio de su soltería

Mauricio Umansky parece estar disfrutando su vida de soltero porque se lo estaba pasando como nunca en las pistas de esquí con la cantante Anitta y la YouTuber Lele Pons.

122123_mauricio_umansky-kal 12/21/23
Pendientes sencillas

En un video subido a sus redes sociales el miércoles, Mauricio dijo: "Algo de diversión está a punto de ocurrir", mientras mostraba a las damas sonriendo en Aspen y le decía a la gente que era el camarógrafo de Anitta y Lele y que fueran a sus redes sociales para comprobar lo bien que lo estaban pasando.

Bueno, Anitta compartió algunos clips detrás de cámara también y ambas decidieron sacarse el equipo de nieve y ponerse una toalla mientras Mauricio filmaba todo el asunto.

Parece que las chicas decidieron bajar de la montaña mientras usaban solo una toalla y bebían champán, con Mauricio capturando todo. Anitta lo llamó "el mejor camarógrafo"

Por supuesto, la diversión en la nieve de Mauricio viene mientras su ex, Kyle Richards, parece estar relajándose en Punta Mita, México. La estrella de televisión compartió una foto de ella en la playa con el comentario: "A veces solo necesitamos escapar de la realidad por un rato".

Por lo general, Kyle y Mauricio van juntos a Aspen y el hecho de que no lo hagan este año parece un acontecimiento importante en sus casi seis meses de separación.

Ahora, las travesuras de Mauricio con las influencers podrían ser solo eso: Lele está casada y a Anitta se la ha relacionado con el productor musical Murda Beatz.

Por otro lado, Mauricio, de 53 años, también fue visto cenando con la influencer Alexandria Wolfe, de 33 años, hace apenas un par de días en Aspen y ella está soltera. Sea lo que sea, el tipo está disfrutando mucho de su tiempo en la montaña.
