Brett Gelman doesn't see anything in Netflix costar Noah Schnapp's views on Israel that warrants an apology ... and he's not afraid to speak his mind about what's going on in Gaza.

We got the "Stranger Things" star at LAX and our photog asked him about Noah sharing a video restating his position on the Israel-Hamas War.

Brett says he actually liked the viral photos of Noah with stickers reading "Zionism is sexy" and agreed with Noah calling out Hamas as a terrorist organization.

BG goes even further ... telling us anyone who is not pro-Israel is consciously or subconsciously being antisemitic.

To be clear, Brett says he's not blindly for everything that's going on in Israel, acknowledging there are some issues just as there are in every country and telling us he's not a fan of Benjamin Netanyahu ... but Brett says he supports Israel and the Israeli people.

Brett says Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas attacks ... he says he's been over to Israel recently and there are still being rockets launched by Hamas, who he also accuses of using civilians as human shields.

Noah's message was about unity, hope and peace ... and Brett says he's staunchly against the death of innocent Palestinians, but wonders why those deaths are being blamed on Israel and not Hamas.

It's rare to see a celebrity being so open about the Middle East these days ... but Brett's not shying away.

Bottom line for Brett ... everyone in Israel wants peace, and they aren't the ones who started this war.

Brett Gelman de 'Stranger Things' Noah no necesita disculparse por sus opiniones sobre Israel, Hamás

Brett Gelman no ve nada en las opiniones sobre Israel de su compañero de reparto de Netflix Noah Schnapp que justifique una disculpa, y no tiene miedo de decir lo que piensa sobre lo que está pasando en Gaza.

Nos encontramos con la estrella de "Stranger Things" en LAX y nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó sobre el video de Noah en donde reafirma su posición sobre la guerra de Israel y Hamás.

sOLO QUIERO PAZ
TikTok / @noahschnapp

Brett dice que le gustaban las fotos virales de Noé con las pegatinas "El sionismo es sexy" y que estaba de acuerdo con que el actor llamara a Hamás como una organización terrorista.

Brett va aún más lejos y nos dice que cualquiera que no sea pro-Israel es consciente o inconscientemente antisemita.

Para ser claros, Brett dice que no está ciegamente a favor de todo lo que está pasando en Israel, reconoce que hay algunos problemas, al igual que en todos los países y nos dice que no es un fan de Benjamin Netanyahu, pero dice que apoya a Israel y al pueblo israelí.

Dice que Israel tiene derecho a defenderse de los ataques de Hamás y que ha estado en Israel recientemente y que todavía hay cohetes que son lanzados por ellos, a quienes también acusa de utilizar a civiles como escudos humanos.

El mensaje de Noah fue sobre la unidad, la esperanza y la paz y Brett dice que está incondicionalmente en contra de la muerte de palestinos inocentes, pero se pregunta por qué se culpa de esas muertes a Israel y no a Hamás.

Es raro ver a una celebridad ser tan abierta sobre lo que pasa en Medio Oriente por estos días, pero Brett no se asusta.

En pocas palabras, para él todo el mundo en Israel quiere la paz y no fueron ellos los que empezaron esta guerra.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Wave of Hate from Nick Supporters ... She Feels It's Unfair!!!

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is getting bombarded with criticism from Nick Godejohn supporters -- it's been going on since she got out of prison, but Gypsy feels the haters aren't giving her a fair shake.

Sources close to Gypsy Rose tell TMZ ... she's been inundated with folks expressing negative feelings toward her, because she's now free -- whereas Nick's serving a life sentence for murdering her mother Dee Dee.

We're told that fact of Gypsy's situation is one over which she feels a lot of guilt to this day.

Still, our sources say Gypsy feels it's not right she's being branded a murderer by some of these overzealous Nick fans ... and the reason for that is because she didn't actually carry out the act of taking her mother's life. Remember, Nick was the one who stabbed Dee Dee, and Gypsy was convicted of second-degree murder -- basically, for masterminding the slaying.

With that in mind, Gypsy also thinks it's strange Nick is getting sympathy from folks who want to see him freed. We're told she believes he enjoyed stabbing her mother 17 times, so the fact he's got a group of backers is sorta ass-backwards.

Remember ... Nick got life in prison without possibility of parole after his conviction for first-degree murder. Gypsy got a 10-year sentence, but was released on parole last month, after more than 8 years of incarceration.

Our sources tell us Gypsy feels like she tried to help Nick in his 2018 trial by testifying she came up with the plan to kill Dee Dee, because it was the only way she could escape her mother's abuse. She feels her testimony was the right thing to do to clear her conscience, and we're told doing so helped her forgive herself.

Now, we're told Gypsy has NO feelings towards Nick ... she doesn't want to communicate with him and she's trying to leave their past behind and move forward with her new life.

Our sources say Gypsy doesn't hate Nick, but she doesn't love him or feel sad for him either -- she just doesn't feel anything for him ... good or bad.

Some of the same folks attacking Gypsy online say Nick should be freed too ... but we're told she feels his punishment fits the crime. Our sources say Nick told Gypsy in text messages, before Dee Dee's murder, he was going to enjoy killing her mom ... and Gypsy feels her ex is a danger to society who needs extreme mental health care while behind bars.

Bottom line ... she's done her time, and Gypsy doesn't understand the continued criticism.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard recibe el odio de los seguidores de Nick Godejohn y lo considera injusto

Gypsy Rose Blanchard ha sido bombardeada por el odio de los partidarios de Nick Godejohn desde su salida de la cárcel y ella siente que está recibiendo un trato injusto.

Fuentes cercanas a Gypsy Rose le dicen a TMZ que ha estado experimentando sentimientos negativos hacia ella desde que fue puesta en libertad. Todo porque ella es la que ha asegurado su libertad, mientras que Nick está cumpliendo una cadena perpetua por asesinar a su madre Dee Dee.

Nos informan que la situación de Gypsy es un hecho por el que se siente muy culpable hasta el día de hoy.

Sin embargo, nuestras fuentes dicen que Gypsy siente que no es correcto que esté siendo tildada de asesina por algunos de los fans de Nick, y la razón de ello es que en realidad ella no le quitó la vida de su madre... recordemos que Nick fue quien apuñaló a Dee Dee y Gypsy fue condenada por asesinato en segundo grado, básicamente por ser la autora intelectual del crimen.

Nos dicen que Gypsy también piensa que es extraño, Nick está recibiendo la simpatía de la gente que quiere verlo en libertad. Nuestras fuentes dicen que ella cree que disfrutó de matar y apuñalar 17 veces a su madre, por lo que el hecho de que él tenga un grupo de seguidores es inaudito.

Recordemos que Nick fue declarado culpable de asesinato en primer grado y condenado a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional, mientras que Gypsy fue condenada a 10 años pero salió en libertad condicional tras cumplir 8 años de prisión.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Gypsy siente que trató de ayudar a Nick en su juicio penal de 2018 al testificar que ideó el plan para matar a Dee Dee porque era la única manera de escapar del abuso de su madre y nos dicen que Gypsy siente que su testimonio fue lo correcto en ese momento para limpiar su conciencia, lo que la ayudó a perdonarse a sí misma y seguir adelante.

Ahora, nos dicen Gypsy NO tiene sentimientos hacia Nick... ella no quiere comunicarse con él y ella está tratando de dejar su pasado atrás y seguir adelante con su nueva vida.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Gypsy no odia a Nick, pero no lo ama o se siente triste por él tampoco... ella simplemente no siente nada hacia él, bueno o malo, y punto.

Algunas de las mismas personas que atacan a Gypsy en línea dicen que Nick debería ser liberado también, pero nos dicen que ella siente que su castigo se ajusta al crimen. Nuestras fuentes dicen que Nick le dijo a Gypsy en mensajes de texto antes del asesinato de Dee Dee que iba a disfrutar de matar a su madre y Gypsy siente que su ex es un peligro para la sociedad y necesita atención de salud mental extrema, mientras que está detrás de las rejas.

En pocas palabras... ella ha pagado su condena y Gypsy no entiende las críticas continuas.

John Oliver le responde a Elon Musk llamándolo "progre"

John Oliver
definitivamente es un tipo sensible
TMZ.com

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.

Échale un vistazo y opina por ti mismo.

John Oliver Responds to Elon Trashing Him ... WTF's He Talking About?!?

John Oliver
He's Definitely Sensitive
TMZ.com

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.

Check it out and weigh in for yourself.

Aubrey O'Day aprovecha el Día de MLK para promocionar su OnlyFans

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

Sí, su punto acerca de la necesidad de utilizar las redes sociales a su favor en el mundo moderno está bien... simplemente no en el Día de MLK. Esperemos que sus hijos no vean esto. 😬

REPTILE INFLUENCER BRIAN BARCZYK DEAD AT 54 AFTER CANCER BATTLE

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.

He was 54. RIP.

Aubrey O'Day I Have a Dream For MLK Day ... It's All About My OnlyFans!!!

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.

HONORING MLK A DIFFERENT WAY???
TMZ.com

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.

Yes, her point about needing to use social media to her advantage in the modern world is well-taken ... just not on MLK Day though. Here's hoping his children don't see this. 😬

Brittany Mahomes publica fotos muy amistosas con Taylor Swift

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.

De todos modos, el dúo parecía estar pasándola en grande durante el juego, aunque Taylor parecía demasiado preocupada coqueteando con su hombre.

Brittany Mahomes In Her 'Twinning' Era ... Matching w/ T-Swift!!!

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.

Anyway, the duo seemed to have a good time during the game ... though Taylor seemed too preoccupied flirting with her man after to pay attention to anything else!

Selena and Benny PJ'd Up for Nicola Peltz Beckham ... Happy 29th!!!

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.

It's pretty clear ... Selena and Benny are serious and she wants the world to know.  Good times.

Kelly Clarkson Applauded For Kids' Social Media Ban ... Parenting Groups Agree!!!

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.

The MomCo thinks it will, telling us ... "We’re convinced parents around the world are ready to follow Kelly's lead, and hopefully our kids will eventually thank us for it."

Kelly Clarkson Es aplaudida por prohibir las redes sociales a sus hijos

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.

MomCo cree que sí y nos dice: "Estamos convencidos de que los padres de todo el mundo están dispuestos a seguir el ejemplo de Kelly y esperamos que nuestros hijos nos lo terminen agradeciendo".

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.

Que en paz descanse.
