John Oliver y Elon Musk han tenido sus desencuentros últimamente, y John nos ha dado algunas declaraciones.

Nos encontramos con el comediante el lunes en LAX y le preguntamos acerca de esta nueva disputa en la que parece encontrarse con el jefe de Tesla, quien recientemente lo etiquetó de "progre", además de "débil". Por supuesto, Elon parecía estar respondiéndole a John en su programa el mes pasado.

Esto es lo que Elon tenía que decir en respuesta a un artículo que básicamente destrozó el segmento "Last Week Tonight", Elon escribió: "Es bastante trágico ver a un comediante tan capaz como @iamjohnoliver convertirse en alguien débil".

Y añadió: "La razón por la que no es muy divertido estos días, es porque está demasiado dispuesto a complacer a los progres, lo cual es fundamentalmente una mentira, mientras que el gran humor se trata de revelar la verdad".

Bueno, ahora John le está respondiendo a Elon, acusándolo de ir por la vida como un "progre"... básicamente la palabra favorita de Musk estos días. En nuestro paseo y charla con John, básicamente se encogió de hombros sobre lo que cree que Elon piensa de él.

La única cosa que John sabe con certeza acerca de Elon es que es bastante sensible, pero en cuanto a lo que Elon argumenta ... John dice que no puede hacer de psicólogo para un tipo como el Sr. Musk. ¡De hecho, dice que no está seguro de que Elon sepa lo que quiere decir!

Nuestro fotógrafo le hizo una gran pregunta: ¿crees que la disputa continuará? A lo que John tuvo una respuesta hilarante. Esto demuestra que Elon está equivocado respecto al sentiudo del humor de John.

John Oliver and Elon Musk have been in a little back and forth lately -- and with the ball technically in JO's court ... he's now picking it up and giving his response to us.

We got the comedian Monday at LAX and asked about this new feud he seems to find himself in with the Tesla chief -- who recently labeled him "woke" ... not to mention calling him "weak sauce." Of course, Elon appeared to be responding to John highlighting him on his show last month.

Here's what Elon had to say in response to an article that basically trashed John's 'Last Week Tonight' segment -- which picked Elon apart in great detail. EM wrote, "It is rather tragic to see an otherwise capable comedian like @iamjohnoliver become weak sauce."

He added, "The reason he is not very funny these days is because he is too keen to pander to wokeness, which is fundamentally a lie, whereas great humor requires revealed truth."

Welp, now John's weighing in on Elon's gripe with him -- namely, accusing him of going "woke" ... which is basically EM's favorite word these days. In our walk-and-chat with JO ... he basically shrugged his shoulders on what it is he thinks Elon thinks of him.

The one thing John knows for sure about Elon is that he's thin-skinned as hell -- but as far as what Elon's getting at with his "woke" argument ... John says he can't play psychologist for a dude like Mr. Musk. In fact, he says he's not sure Elon knows what he means!

Our photog asked one big question -- do you think your feud will continue on??? John has a hilarious response ... and to us, it kinda proves Elon wrong in his assessment of humor.

Aubrey O'Day no se queda callada sobre las cosas que importan... al menos para ella. Está utilizando una famosa cita de Martin Luther King Jr. para promocionar su OnlyFans en el Día del MLK.

La ex cantante de Danity Kane acaba de publicar una serie de videos promocionales en las redes sociales, pidiendo suscripciones y usando las palabras del Reverendo como pie de foto.

El post de Aubrey comienza con siete fotos en las que muestra sus delantera y el culo y luego se pone muy picante con un par de videos donde baila algo de twerking, y todo está acompañado por esta cita de MLK: "Nuestras vidas comienzan a terminar el día en que nos callamos sobre las cosas que importan".

No sólo cita a MLK, Aubrey también menciona a Donald Trump, al presidente Biden y al ex abogado de Trump, Michael Cohen, para atraer clics a su página, es realmente algo digno de contemplar y una clase magistral de como llamar la atención sin nada de verguenza.

Ella está publicando un montón de memes que básicamente conducen a sus seguidores a su cuenta de OnlyFans y si suena inapropiado en el Día de MLK... bueno, no eres el único que se siente de esa manera.

El hecho es que el mensaje del Dr. King y su legado merecen respeto y reverencia y el post de Aubrey está causando la molestia de un gran número de personas

Famous reptile enthusiast Brian Barczyk has sadly passed away after spending 10 days in hospice care ... following a brave battle with pancreatic cancer.

The announcement was made Monday ... with the folks at his Reptarium Reptile Zoo paying tribute to their "exceptional" visionary, mentor and friend in an emotional IG statement ... where they praised Brian's ability to touch innumerable hearts and minds globally with his fervent passion for reptiles and wildlife.

They added, "For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him, Brian's absence leaves an immeasurable void. As we navigate this difficult time, we find comfort in the memories and the lasting light of Brian's work. He will be deeply missed but indeed, never forgotten."

Brian received news of his devastating stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis almost a year ago ... and it looks like he knew what was coming as just days earlier, he shared an emotional goodbye video.

The reptile influencer once said ... "I'm ready, guys. It was a tough year. It was so painful, the pain was incredible, the sickness was incredible, the treatment was incredible, everything about it was so bad" ... while also thanking his "reptile army" for their support.

Brian made a career out of his love for reptiles ... starring on the Discovery Channel's "Venom Hunters" and kickstarting his successful YouTube career in 2016. He had 5.26 million subscribers and collaborated with the likes of Logan and Jake Paul.

As well his Reptarium Reptile Zoo, he was also the founder of Legasea Aquarium.

He also owned the third-largest collection of snakes in the world -- over 30,000, actively participating in venom milking.

He leaves behind his wife Lori and their two children, Noah and Jade. A memorial in honor of Brian will be held on Wednesday by his family in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Aubrey O'Day is not staying silent about the things that matter ... at least to her ... she's using a famous Martin Luther King Jr. quote to promote her OnlyFans on MLK Day.

The former Danity Kane singer just published a series of thirst traps and OF promo videos on social media, asking for subscriptions and using the Reverend's words as her caption.

Aubrey's post starts with 7 shots of her showing off her boobs and butt and then it gets really raunchy with a couple videos where she's twerking ... and it's all accompanied by this MLK quote ... "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

It's not just MLK she's using here, BTW ... Aubrey's also name-dropping Donald Trump, President Biden and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to drive clicks to her OF page ... it's really something to behold and a masterclass in shameless plugs.

She's posting a bunch of memes that basically drive her followers to her OnlyFans account -- and if it sounds inappropriate on MLK Day ... welp, you're not the only who feels that way.

Fact is ... Dr. King's message and legacy deserve respect and reverence -- and Aubrey's post here is rubbing a lot of folks the wrong way ... especially in the context of promoting sexy content just to make a buck.

Patrick Mahomes se dirige a la siguiente ronda de playoffs, pero la persona más feliz en casa es su esposa, Brittany, quien publicó un montón de fotos con su nueva amiga.

La madre de dos hijos y ex estrella de fútbol universitario compartió las fotos de la noche del sábado, donde los Chiefs ganaron 26-7 y la diosa del pop Taylor Swift hizo su aparición.

Taylor y Brittany hicieron una serie de poses que van desde lo lindo y coqueto a lo francamente cringe... y otra amiga cercana -Lyndsay Bell- también apareció en un par de fotos.

Mahomes hizo referencia a sus chaquetas combinadas que lucían los nombres de sus novios en la parte posterior. En su pie de foto decían: "Twinning & Winning💯".

Como ya sabemos, Brittany y Taylor entablaron una rápida amistad en medio del romance relámpago de Tay con Travis Kelce, quien es muy cercano a Patrick y la familia Mahomes.

Además de encontrarse en los juegos, el dúo dinámico ha salido varias veces, incluyendo cenas en Nueva York, donde Mahomes se codeó con celebridades como Selena Gomez y Gigi Hadid.

Más recientemente, los amigos (junto con Bell) cenaron en Spago en Los Ángeles el fin de semana pasado cuando los Chiefs llegaron a la ciudad para jugar contra los Chargers.

Esta intensa amistad ha atraído reacciones mixtas, recordemos el "saludo de amigas" que causó cierto cringe en octubre, pero al dúo no parece importarle lo que piensen.

Patrick Mahomes is headed to the next playoff round, but the happiest person in his household has to be his wife, Brittany ... who posted a crap load of photos with her new twin.

The mother-of-two and former college soccer star shared the pics from Saturday night's 26-7 Chiefs win where she posed with pop sensation Taylor Swift.

TS and BM hit a series of poses ranging from cute and flirty to downright silly ... and close friend and fellow WAG Lyndsay Bell hopped in for a couple pics too.

Mahomes made reference to their matching puff jackets -- emblazoned with the names of their footballing beaus on the back -- in her caption, writing "Twinning & Winning💯."

As you well know ... Brittany and Taylor sparked up a fast friendship amidst Tay's whirlwind romance with Travis Kelce, who is very close to Patrick and the Mahomes family.

On top of taking in games together, the dynamic duo have hung out several times including dinners in NYC ... where Mahomes rubbed elbows with celebs like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.

Most recently, the friends (along with Bell) grabbed dinner at Spago in L.A. last weekend when the Chiefs came to town to play the Chargers.

Some of their time together has drawn mixed reactions -- remember their "cringe" handshake during October -- but the duo doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks ... easy to do when you're part of the uber-rich.

Selena Gomez may have gone radio silent for a minute on social, but she's circulating in the world with her BF Benny Blanco ... most recently at a surprise pajama-themed birthday party for Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Nicola turned 29, and her buds surprised her with the PJ party at Selena's home. All the guests wore matching black PJs with white trim.

Nicola was stoked, and she said so on her Insta.

No drama here ... Selena and Nicola are hugging it out in the pics, so no one was denied a photo -- at least as far as we can tell!

Brooklyn posted a pic as well, with him, Nicola, Selena and Benny.

Apparently, the food was a big hit ... no surprise, since Selena has the chops in the kitchen.

And of course, the obligatory, awful "Happy Birthday" song.

Kelly Clarkson hit a home run with her decision to keep her kiddos off social media ... at least as far as a couple national parenting groups are concerned.

The singer recently revealed she banned Instagram in her house, and now some big-name organizations are singing her praises.

The MomCo International tells TMZ ... "We love that Kelly is making this bold decision for her kids and hope it helps parents normalize letting kids be kids without the added pressure of a digital life while they are still learning how to navigate life in 3-D."

Remember ... Kelly says social media is hard on kids in general, but it's even worse for kiddos with a famous mother or father ... hence the IG ban for her daughter River and son Remington.

Meanwhile, the National Association for Child Development tells TMZ ... Kelly's social media ban should be respected and honored because parents know their children best and are responsible for ensuring a safe and age-appropriate online environment for their kids.

It will be interesting to see if Kelly's social media ban catches on ... especially with celeb parents.

Kelly Clarkson ha dado en el clavo con su decisión de mantener a sus hijos fuera de las redes sociales, al menos para un par de grupos nacionales de padres.

La cantante reveló recientemente que prohibió Instagram en su casa, y ahora algunas organizaciones de renombre están cantando sus alabanzas.

El MomCo Internacional le dice a TMZ: "Nos encanta que Kelly esté tomando esta decisión audaz para sus hijos y esperamos que ayude a los padres a normalizar que hay que dejar a los niños ser niños sin la presión añadida de una vida digital mientras todavía están aprendiendo a navegar por la vida en 3-D".

Recuerden, Kelly dice que las redes sociales son difíciles para los niños en general, pero es aún peor para los niños con una madre o un padre famoso, de ahí la prohibición de IG para su hija River y su hijo Remington.

Mientras tanto, la Asociación Nacional para el Desarrollo Infantil le dice a TMZ: La prohibición de las redes sociales por parte de Kelly debe ser respetada y honrada pues los padres conocen mejor a sus hijos y son responsables de garantizar un entorno en línea seguro y apropiado para su edad.

Será interesante ver si la prohibición de las redes sociales de Kelly se pone de moda, especialmente entre los padres famosos.

Peter Crombie, famoso por interpretar a uno de los personajes favoritos de los fans de "Seinfeld", "Crazy" Joe Davola, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El actor falleció el miércoles debido a una enfermedad que le quitó la vida rápidamente, según su ex esposa Nadine Kijner. No está claro qué enfermedad podría haber padecido. El resto de los detalles que rodean su muerte no fueron revelados inmediatamente.

Peter será mejor recordado por su recurrente papel en "Seinfeld", "Crazy" Joe Davola, que aparece en 5 episodios de la temporada 4. Joe aterrorizó, acosó y amenazó a Jerry Seinfeld e incluso salió con Elaine en un momento dado.

Aparte de su fama en "Seinfeld", Peter actuó en películas como "My Dog Skip", "Natural Born Killers", "The Blob", "Se7en" y "Rising Sun", "Born on the Fourth of July", por nombrar solo algunas. En realidad, trabajó mucho más en televisión, y a lo largo de los años apareció en grandes series.

Además de "Seinfeld", Peter protagonizó la miniserie de televisión "House of Frankenstein". También participó como estrella invitada en programas como "NYPD Blue", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Diagnosis Murder", "Law & Order", "Perfect Strangers", "Spenser: For Hire", "L.A. Law", "L.A. Firefighters" y muchas otras.

En total, tenía 35 créditos como actor y parece que dejó el mundo del espectáculo alrededor del año 2000.

La ex esposa de Peter nos dice: "Era el hombre más bondadoso, generoso y considerado. Era querido por todos, generoso y nunca tenía nada malo que decir de nadie".

Su amigo Bill Stetz recuerda a Peter como "un amigo amable y leal, de palabras suaves y trabajo expresivo como actor y escritor." Peter tenía 71 años.

Peter Crombie -- famous for playing fan favorite "Crazy" Joe Davola on "Seinfeld" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actor passed away Wednesday due to some sort of illness that took his life quickly, according to his ex-wife Nadine Kijner. It's unclear what ailment he might've been battling -- the rest of the details surrounding his death weren't immediately disclosed.

Peter will be best remembered for his recurring role on "Seinfeld" ...  his character "Crazy" Joe Davola appears in 5 episodes in season 4 ... with Joe terrorizing, stalking and threatening Jerry Seinfeld and even dating Elaine at one point.

Aside from his "Seinfeld" fame, Peter acted in movies like"My Dog Skip," "Natural Born Killers," "The Blob," "Se7en" and "Rising Sun," "Born on the Fourth of July" ... just to name a few. He did a lot more work in television, actually ... having made appearances on some big-time shows over the years.

In addition to 'Seinfeld, Peter starred in the TV miniseries "House of Frankenstein" ... as well as guest starring roles on TV shows like "NYPD Blue," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Diagnosis Murder," "Law & Order," "Perfect Strangers," "Spenser: For Hire," "L.A. Law," "L.A. Firefighters" and lots of others.

All in all, he had 35 acting credits to his name ... and it looks like he left showbiz around 2000.

Peter's ex-wife tells us ... "He was the kindest most caring, giving, considerate man. He was loved by everybody, generous and never had anything bad to say about anyone."

His friend Bill Stetz remembers Peter as "a gentle and loyal friend of soft words and expressive work as an actor and a writer." Peter was 71.

Jeremy Allen White says he ain't interested in the sofa from his Calvin Klein underwear shoot -- even though it's free on the web right now ... for whoever wants to come claim it.

We got Jeremy at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles Friday and our photog asked him how he felt about the couch being listed for $0 on Facebook Marketplace by a woman claiming the orange couch is literally sitting on top of her NYC building right now ... up for grabs!

You'll recall ... this is the same sofa on which Jeremy stripped down to his underwear for a recent rooftop photo shoot for Calvin Klein in New York City ... snapping a few pics on the rooftop furniture in a spread everyone's going wild for, even now.

Jeremy's a pretty humble guy ... he says the $0 price tag is about what it's worth, and he doesn't think the couch belongs in a museum somewhere either. Dude ain't interested in it for himself either, BTW ... he says he's got more couches than he can deal with.

The famous piece of furniture popped up on FB this week for free ... with the lady listing it writing, "Guess what? I've got the hottest seat in town – the legendary red corduroy couch that a famous celebrity chef (in not-so-many clothes) sat on in the commercial everyone’s talking about." She goes on to say her hubby had the hookup, but it's been left behind.

She's offering it up for free to anyone who wants to come and grab it -- but they gotta do all the heavy lifting themselves. As for the price tag ($0), JAW thinks that sounds about right.

Zendaya dejando de seguir a todo el mundo, incluyendo a su novio Tom Holland, está despertando rumores de ruptura y aunque no han sido vistos en meses, no saquen demasiadas conclusiones de eso... según lo que hemos averiguado de sus vacaciones.

Como se habrán enterado, la actriz apretó el botón dejar de seguir, literalmente, a todo el mundo en su cuenta de IG la semana pasada, algo que salió de la nada. Zendaya no dio ninguna explicación y lo más alarmante para los fans es que su purga incluyó a Tom.

Tom no está abordando el tema, pero por su parte, él aún está siguiendo a su pareja.

Eso por sí solo no es suficiente evidencia de que hayan terminado, aunque algunos están saltando a esa conclusión. Hay más que tener en cuenta. Hicimos algunas investigaciones y resulta que Tommy y Zen no han sido fotografiados juntos desde justo antes de Halloween.

Sus últimas fotos públicas son del 25 de octubre, cuando estaban haciendo una compra en Los Ángeles con mascarillas puestas. Desde entonces, sin embargo, no ha habido ni rastro de ellos en público.

El miércoles, una semana después de la oleada de unfollows, por fin pudimos verlos de nuevo juntos en Los Ángeles, pero en solitario. Zen fue vista conduciendo por la ciudad durante el día con un amigo en el asiento del pasajero.

Tom, por su parte, salió el miércoles por la noche al Members Club, un lugar elegante en West Hollywood, y parecía andar solo también.

Ahora, si estos dos rompen, sería noticia para algunos en su círculo íntimo. Una fuente con conocimiento directo le dice a TMZ que pasaron juntos la noche de Año Nuevo, lo que demuestra que solo porque no los vemos juntos no significa que hayan terminado.

Por supuesto, es posible que se hayan separado desde entonces, pero si es así ... Nos dicen que no han compartido esa noticia con sus seres queridos.

En cuanto a la masiva jugada de Zendaya en Instagram, es demasiado pronto para decir lo que significa porque es algo que las celebridades a menudo realizan para llamar la atención antes de anunciar un nuevo proyecto.

Entonces, ¿dónde nos deja esto? No hay pruebas fehacientes de que estén juntos, pero tampoco de que se hayan separado. Algo así como volver al principio.

Zendaya unfollowing everyone -- including her boyfriend Tom Holland -- is stirring breakup rumors, and while they haven't been seen together in months, don't read too much into that ... based on what we've learned about their holiday.

As you might've heard, the actress hit the unfollow button on, quite literally, everybody on her IG account last week, which came outta nowhere. She's offered no explanation, and most alarming to fans is the fact her purge included Tom.

TH isn't addressing it, but on his end, he's still following his significant other.

That alone is hardly a smoking gun they've split -- though some are jumping to that conclusion -- but there's also this ... we did some digging and turns out, Tommy and Zen haven't been photographed together since right before Halloween.

Their last public pics were on October 25, when they were making a grocery run in L.A. and wearing protection -- both were masked up. Since then, however, no sign of them in public.

Fast-forward to Wednesday -- about a week after the unfollow spree -- and we finally saw them out in L.A. again, but solo. Zen was seen driving around town during the day with a pal in the passenger seat.

Tom, meanwhile, was out Wednesday night at Members Club -- a swanky WeHo spot -- and appeared to be rolling solo.

Now, IF these 2 are broken up, it's news to some in their inner circle. One source with direct knowledge tells TMZ the couple spent NYE with each other, which proves just because we don't SEE them together ... it doesn't necessarily mean they're not.

Of course, it's possible they've split since then, but if so ... we're told they haven't shared that news with loved ones.

As for Zendaya's mass unfollow -- too early to tell what that indicates, because that's also a thing celebs often do to grab attention ahead of announcing a new project.

So, where does that leave us? No hard proof they're together, but also no evidence they've split. Kinda right back at the beginning.

¡Pues, eso sí que fue rápido!

Selena Gomez ya está de vuelta en Instagram, apenas 20 horas después de que dijera que se iba a tomar un descanso de las redes sociales.

El jueves, la cantante y actriz publicó una foto en IG en la que aparecía con el famoso chef Gordon Ramsay en su casa. El pie de foto decía: "@gordongram vino a mi cocina y me mostró cómo hacer una increíble hamburguesa de desayuno".

Un día antes, Selena había anunciado que iba a dejar de prestar tanta atención a las redes sociales después de publicar un video de ella y su novio, Benny Blanco, divirtiéndose con unos niños, presumiblemente familiares.

Esta no es la primera vez que Selena se aleja de Instagram, pero probablemente fue su regreso más rápido. Se recordarán que recientemente se tomó otro descanso después de que estuviera bajo el escrutinio por sus comentarios sobre la guerra entre Israel-Hamas.
