El rodaje de "Stranger Things" se está poniendo en marcha y las figuras más notables de su elenco están reunidas para grabar algunas de las escenas finales, y se ve muy emotivo.

Tenemos fotos de la pandilla en el set, tomadas este jueves en Atlanta, y aunque se pueden distinguir las figuras de David Harbour y Winona Ryder llegando al set, son los niños los que se roban toda la atención, a pesar de que definitivamente ya no son niños.

Miren esto, Millie Bobby Brown y Finn Wolfhard, quienes interpretan a los dos tortolitos en la serie, están filmando una escena en la cima de la colina. Todo parece tranquilo y emocional, no como la trepidante acción que caracteriza al show.

Pero, hablando de emociones, ¿será un grito intenso de Millie Bobby Brown lo que ella está preparando en esta escena? Eso es algo que su personaje Eleven ha hecho muchas veces durante las primeras 4 temporadas de la serie.

Por cierto, esta escena tiene lugar en una estación de radio, aunque no creemos que Eleven y Mike estén grabando una mixtape en la temporada 5, pero bueno, la música los salvó en la temporada anterior, ¿cierto?

Algo importante que remarcar... Los chicos han crecido.

Millie tiene 19 años y está comprometida con el hijo de Jon Bon Jovi y Finn tiene 21, edad suficiente como para tomar una refrescante lata de cerveza después de un largo rodaje.

Esto se está convirtiendo en una tendencia para el elenco de "Stranger Things". Recordemos que vimos a Gaten en el set la semana pasada en Georgia, y no se parecía en nada al niño de 13 años que aparecía en el primer episodio de la serie allá por 2016.

"Stranger Things" filming is kicking into high gear ... notable cast members are getting together to shoot some of their final scenes -- and it's looking hella emotional.

We got pics of the gang on set, shot Thursday in Atlanta, and while you can make out the figures of David Harbour and Winona Ryder coming to set -- it's the kids who take center stage ... though they definitely aren't kids anymore.

Check it out -- Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard, who play love interests on the show, are filming a scene at the top of the hill ... it seems quiet and emotional, not like the rip-roaring action the show also features.

But, speaking of emotional -- is that an intense scream we can see MBB ready to make ... something her character Eleven's done quite a few times during the show's first 4 seasons?

BTW this scene takes place on a radio station set ... we don't think Eleven and Mike are recording a fire mixtape in season 5 -- but hey, music did save the day last season.

Big takeaway ... the kids are all grown up.

Millie's 19 and engaged to Jon Bon Jovi's son and FH is 21 -- old enough to crack open a cold one at the end of a long shoot.

This is becoming a trend for the "Stranger Things" cast ... remember, we saw Gaten on set last week in Georgia, and he didn't look anything like the 13-year-old he was when the first episode dropped back in 2016.

Nick Cannon knows he's the posterchild of polygamy these days -- a role he's embracing with common sense jewels for everyone who follow in his footsteps ... including Zeddy Will.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Nick in West Hollywood on Thursday and tickled him with the news of Zeddy, the 21-year-old TikTok star and rapper who just went viral for his 5-way baby shower ... and all the child's mothers were happily along for the ride.

Zeddy Will credited Nick for "redefining modern relationships" -- of course, the scenario and many like it mirror Nick's family tree of 12 children -- and Nick tells us inspiration is his forte... but also warned the young lad not to ignore his self-care.

He'll have 10 personalities to deal with -- the 5 new babies and their mothers!!!

Nick instructs ZW to stock up on sleep and also seek therapy ... sounds like sound advice ... he recently highlighted the frazzle dazzle of parenthood in his new chicken wings ad spot.

Who knows, maybe the two will collaborate down the line ... multi-platform hip hop content creators with multiple children ... there's still speculation Zeddy might be fakin' everything for a music video.

Sofia Vergara is being taken to court by Griselda Blanco's family over her new show where she plays the infamous Colombian queen-pin ... and they want to halt its release.

The actress is named as a defendant in a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, in which her adult kids -- acting as representatives of her estate -- are suing her and Netflix over what they claim is the unauthorized use of their family's image and likeness in this upcoming series.

Of course, the show features Sofia playing the late Griselda in her heyday as one of the most prominent drug lords in the world -- but now, her children are trying to prevent it from coming out next week ... running to court and asking the judge for an injunction to block its release.

The gist of their argument boils down to this ... Griselda's son, Michael, claims he'd been doing interviews for years now with some guys who were trying to get his life story -- and that of his mother -- on paper in the hopes of developing it into a production of some sort. He alleges these interviews he did with them date back to '09 all the way through 2022.

Michael claims that these fellas he was consulting with not only wanted to develop his narrative into a show, but into a book as well -- and he says they told him they'd start shopping it around Hollywood in 2016. He alleges they pitched it to a producer ... ahead of a meeting with Netflix about it. Michael claims he was then told Netflix was interested -- but that they didn't wanna use any of his details or consultations from the interviews he'd done.

Fast-forward to the present, and Michael claims he's learned this new 'Griselda' show does, in fact, lean on a lot of his anecdotes and material ... but he says he never saw a dime.

That's why he and his siblings are suing -- alleging Netflix basically ripped off their family story and weaved it into the plot of their show ... and the kids claim use of their own images and likenesses in the show without their permission violate their rights.

The lawsuit doesn't specifically say that Netflix can't depict their mother -- a public figure -- but it's clear the kids believe their likenesses and interview materials were used to make it -- presumably meaning they're depicted in the actual show in some capacity -- so they want a judge to step in ASAP to stop it.

The show is supposed to come out on Jan. 25 ... but the Blanco children wanna pump the brakes. SV is an EP on this thing BTW -- which seems to explain why she's roped in.

Sofía Vergara está siendo llevada a los tribunales por la familia de Griselda Blanco, por un nuevo show de Netflix donde ella interpreta a la infame criminal colombiana, y los chicos quieren detener su lanzamiento a toda costa.

La actriz aparece como demandada en una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, en la que sus hijos adultos -actuando como representantes de su patrimonio- la demandan a ella y a Netflix, por lo que afirman que es un uso no autorizado de la imagen y semejanza de su familia en esta próxima serie.

Por supuesto, la serie presenta a Sofía interpretando a la difunta Griselda en su apogeo como una de las más prominentes capos de la droga en el mundo, pero ahora sus hijos están tratando de evitar que se estrene la próxima semana y por eso están corriendo a los tribunales y pidiendo una orden judicial para bloquear su lanzamiento.

La esencia de su argumento se reduce a esto. El hijo de Griselda, Michael, afirma que lleva años entrevistándose con unos tipos que intentan plasmar en papel la historia de su vida y la de su madre con la esperanza de convertirla en algún tipo de producción. Alega que estas entrevistas que hizo con ellos se remontan del 2009 y hasta el 2022.

Michael afirma que estos chicos no solo querían desarrollar su narrativa en un programa, sino también en un libro y dice que le dijeron que iban a empezar a ofrecerlo en Hollywood por el 2016. Alega que se lo propusieron a un productor, antes de una reunión con Netflix. Michael afirma que luego le dijeron que Netflix estaba interesado, pero que no querían usar ninguno de los detalles o consultas de las entrevistas que había hecho.

Ahora, Michael afirma que se enteró de que la nueva serie "Griselda" se basa en muchas de sus anécdotas y materiales, pero dice que nunca vio ni un céntimo de ello.

Es por eso que él y sus hermanos están demandando. Básicamente, alegan que Netflix está arrancado su historia familiar y la tejió en la trama de su show y aseguran que el uso de sus propias imágenes y semejanzas en el show sin su permiso violan sus derechos.

La demanda no dice específicamente que Netflix no puede representar a su madre, una figura pública, pero está claro que creen que sus imágenes y materiales de la entrevista fueron utilizados, lo que presumiblemente significa que están representados en el programa de alguna forma, por lo que quieren que un juez intervenga lo antes posible para detenerlo.

Se supone que la serie se estrenará el 25 de enero, pero los hijos de Blanco quieren frenarla. Por cierto, Sofía Vergara es productora ejecutiva en la serie también, lo que parece explicar por qué ella está involucrada.

7:53 AM PT -- A BAFTA spokesperson tells TMZ ... "We were very sorry to hear of Roy Battersby’s recent passing - he was a renowned and trailblazing director. Roy Battersby was awarded the Alan Clarke Award in 1996, a BAFTA Special Television Award. We confirm he will be honoured in our forthcoming BAFTA Television Awards in May, and on the In Memoriam Section on our website."

Kate Beckinsale says the folks running BAFTA can't make any promises when it comes to honoring her late stepfather -- which she thinks is outrageous ... and she may be right.

The actress tore the British academy a new one Thursday in an IG post -- in which she alleged producers for the annual award show (basically, the UK version of the Oscars/Globes) told her the recently late Roy Battersby might not be recognized in their program.

KB posted a pic of her stepdad receiving a lifetime achievement BAFTA award years ago for work he'd done in television across the pond, and Kate went on to air her frustration.

She writes, "Today BAFTA told me they ‘could not guarantee’ he would be included in their “in memoriam” tribute , to honour the industry members we have lost. So a man dead less than a week somehow has to audition in front of a committee after a decades long career (in which he has been awarded from said organisation the highest accolade they have) to decide IF his death is worth mentioning."

As if that wasn't scathing enough, Kate adds ... "I am paralysed ,sick and sickened and I will honour him and his work every day of my life." She went on to say her mother, Judy Loe, has been quietly battling cancer behind the scenes too ... making this perceived snub worse.

One last final dig at BAFTA from Kate ... "[T]hanks again , BAFTA for your horribly cold email." Oof, talk about honest -- something tells us Roy will make it in there after all.

Jacob Elordi's new movie "Saltburn" has a bathtub scene that has many stomachs turning, while others are pending money to smell his bathwater ... and now the actor himself's getting a big whiff!

He came face-to-wick Thursday night on 'The Tonight Show' as Jimmy Fallon whipped out a very distinct scented candle. If the marketing can be believed, the candle smells like JE's scent -- mind you, it's fan-made.

Jacob said he was already aware of the candles, thanks to his "Priscilla" costar Cailee Spaeny -- but, he says he's not seeing a dollar off the product.

Of course, he couldn't leave without taking a big old sniff of himself ... and even got his mouth involved a la Barry Keoghan's character in "Saltburn."

We won't give away too much, but all ya gotta know is BK's character, Oliver, slurps up some very spicy bathwater after Jacob's character, Felix, does much more than just soak in it.

Like we said, stomach-turning!

As for how well the candle captures Jacob's essence -- the Australian actor seemed a bit unimpressed, noting it smells more like laundry detergent than him.

"Saltburn" is taking the world by storm right now, racking up nominations this awards season ... and Elordi's stayin' busy too with an 'SNL' hosting gig coming up Saturday.

¡La nueva película de Jacob Elordi "Saltburn" tiene una escena en la bañera que tiene a muchos con los estómagos revueltos, mientras que otros están dispuestos a pagar por oler su agua de baño y ahora el propio actor está recibiendo una gran bocanada de ella!

En el programa "The Tonight Show", del jueves por la noche, Jimmy Fallon sacó una vela perfumada muy especial. Si podemos confiar en lo que dice el marketing, la vela huele exactamente como Jacob Elordi. Se pueden imaginar que esto está hecho para los fans.

Jacob dijo que ya estaba al tanto de las velas, gracias a su coprotagonista en "Priscilla", Cailee Spaeny, pero dice que no está viendo ni un dólar por el producto.

Por supuesto, no pudo evitar dar una gran olfateada de sí mismo e incluso involucró su boca en ello, tal como el personaje de Barry Keoghan en "Saltburn".

No vamos a revelar demasiado, pero todo lo que tienes que saber es que el personaje de Barry, Oliver, chupetea un poco del agua de baño después de que el personaje de Jacob, Felix, se había estado dando un buen baño en ella.

Como hemos dicho, ¡estómago revuelto!

En cuanto a lo bien que la vela captura la esencia de Jacob, el actor australiano parecía un poco impresionado, señalando que huele más a detergente que a sí mismo.

"Saltburn" se ha convertido en un éxito, con varias nominaciones en esta temporada de premios y Elordi también se mantiene muy ocupado con su actuación como anfitrión de 'Saturday Night Live' el próximo sábado.

TMZ got into the thick of things on Thursday -- covering a canceled reboot of an old Disney show ... to Jillian Michaels calling out Oprah over Ozempic, and everything in between.

Let's get right into it with "TMZ Live" ... where we dove into the legendary fitness guru JM going after Ms. Winfrey for what she claimed were financial reasons on the issue of Ozempic.

Check out the full segment to get the gist of what exactly this was all about -- but basically, Jillian was suggesting Oprah has a vested interest in making sure the magic weight loss drug does well on the market ... and it all has to do with a stake she owns in WeightWatchers.

Up next, we got "TMZ on TV" ... where the gang tackled this "Lizzie McGuire" reboot that was scrapped by the Mouse House -- all 'cause some of the material they were writing/shooting at the time wasn't exactly family-friendly.

You'll see what we mean by the convo here ... Hilary Duff was living as a full-grown 30-something woman -- that is, until Disney pulled the plug.

Lastly, we have "TMZ Sports" ... where Michael Babcock and Mojo talked about Reba and Post Malone taking a crack at the anthem and "America the Beautiful" for the upcoming Super Bowl.

It's the home that just won't sell, but Sofia Vergara's giving it another go ... relisting her Beverly Hills mansion with a massive price drop to woo a buyer.

The 7-bedroom abode has been through a few price reductions since going up for sale in 2022 for $19.6M ... even being taken off the market earlier this month ... and now it's being relisted for $13,950,000. If you're not good at math -- that's a big dip!

The $5.7M price drop is undoubtedly an attempt on Sofia's end to get rid of the property ... as it's the home she once shared with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello.

The pair announced their divorce in July 2023 ... but while things didn't work out for them personally, at least they were living it up in style. That much is clear from these photos.

The spectacular BH estate is steeped in exceptional elegance and complete privacy ... boasting a brand-spankin' new chef's kitchen, 11,000 sq ft of living space, and hardwood floors.

It's also got a full-sized gym, a resort-like backyard with a pool and spa, a movie theater, and even a wine room. It sounds like a steal for the new price tag!

Netflix’s successful rap reality show “Rhythm + Flow” -- which introduced D Smoke to the world -- is back for another go-round with a trio of new hosts!!!

Ludacris, Latto and DJ Khaled were unveiled Thursday as the competition’s new judge/hosts … a complete overhaul from the OG cast of T.I., Cardi B and Chance The Rapper.

'R + F' production team -- which includes John Legend as executive producer -- didn't announce any reason for the switch, but the new blood looks especially excited about it in a teaser trailer ... especially Latto.

She famously won the first season of Jermaine Dupri’s “The Rap Game” in 2016, a similarly themed show tailored to child acts, and then used that momentum to ignite her own platinum-selling hip hop career.

'R+F' boasts similar accolades with D Smoke -- after the Inglewood rapper won in 2019, he landed Grammy noms for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist.

Se rumoreaba que Jacob Elordi y Olivia Jade podrían terminar, pero descubrimos que no es el caso luego de ver a la pareja aún sigue unida.

Fuentes directas nos dicen que están cien por ciento seguros de que la pareja es feliz —a pesar de un informe afirmando lo contrario— y lo más importante, nos dicen que están juntos en Nueva York en este momento. Sabemos que Jake tiene que asistir a los ensayos de esta semana antes de su show en "SNL".

Olivia ha sido vista esta semana alrededor del Rockefeller Plaza e incluso nos dicen que Olivia ha sido vista cerca del camerino de Jacob.

Sabemos que Jacob y el equipo de "SNL" están repasando el show del sábado, evidenciado en fotos, videos y detrás de cámaras que están publicando en las redes sociales y suena como que Olivia Jade está ahí con su novio.

La razón por la que la gente asumió que se habían separado —aparte del informe que afirmaba que lo habían hecho— fue porque Olivia parecía haber dejado de seguir a Jacob en Instagram, aunque no está claro si siquiera se seguían.

Jacob y Olivia han estado saliendo durante al menos un par de años y al parecer terminaron en una una ocasión solo para volver a estar juntos poco después.

Las especulaciones sobre su relación podrían radicar en el hecho de que Jacob ha tenido un gran año en su carrera, protagonizando dos películas aclamadas por la crítica y abriéndose camino.

Una vez más, todo esto comenzó justo después de un supuesto "unfollow"... los rumores se dispararon después de eso. Ahora, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Olivia está junto a Jacob en estos momentos y probablemente estarán juntos durante el fin de semana.

Por supuesto, sería una gran noticia si ella o Elordi entran al club de la soltería, ya que pasarían rápidamente a la categoría de "los más cotizados".

Sin embargo, hay que tomárselo con calma, ya que siguen juntos

Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade have been rumored to be on the outs -- but we know that's simply not the case ... 'cause the couple's hanging out as he gets ready for a big show.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us JE and OJ are most certainly not broken up -- despite a report claiming otherwise -- and more importantly ... we're told they're literally together in NYC right now, this as Jake goes through rehearsals this week ahead of his 'SNL' gig.

Per production sources ... Olivia has been seen this week in and around 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and we're even told Olivia's been spotted near Jacob's dressing room.

We know Jacob and the 'SNL' team are running through what they're going to put on Saturday -- evidenced in photos, videos and behind-the-scenes clips they're posting on social media -- and it sounds like Olivia Jade is in the mix back there as well with her BF.

The reason folks assumed they'd split -- aside from the report claiming they had -- was because Olivia appeared to have unfollowed Jacob on Instagram ... but TBH, it's unclear if they were even following each other, to begin with.

Jacob and Olivia have been dating for at least a few years now -- and while they did reportedly break up once before ... they ended up getting back together, and we're hearing they continue to be an item right now.

Part of the reason, perhaps, that people are speculating about their status might lie in the fact that Jacob has had a huge year in his career -- starring in two critically acclaimed films ... and paving a path for himself as a bona fide A-lister, outside of his "Euphoria" run.

Again, this all started with people seeing an alleged "unfollow" and the rumors kicked into high gear after that. From what our sources are telling us though ... Olivia's right by Jacob's side as we speak, and she'll probably be hanging around through the weekend as well.

Of course, it'd be big news if either she or Elordi were single ... they're both smoking hot and would be one of the bigger eligible bachelors/bachelorettes on the young Hollywood market.

For the time being, though ... people oughta hold their horses, 'cause they're still on.

"The Daily Show" has been in a state of flux since Trevor Noah stepped down more than a year ago ... but it sounds like the uncertainty might be comin' to an end.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Comedy Central told TheWrap the network was getting ready to reveal the show's "next chapter" ... and then promptly left fans on the edge of their seats -- saying the announcement's coming NEXT week.

This comes on the heels of an Emmy win for 'TDS' ... taking home Outstanding Talk Series at the awards show on Monday -- though even during the win the show's unresolved host issue took center stage.

Roy Wood Jr., a longtime correspondent of the show, expressed his displeasure with recent choices ... mouthing "Please hire a host" multiple times while TN lifted the award in triumph -- pretty funny parallel when you see the clip.

Noah left the show back in 2022 ... giving fans a tear-jerking goodbye when he signed off. A rotating panel of hosts has taken over in the weeks and months since -- and clearly, it's had its ups and downs.

Wood Jr. left the show back in Oct. after he was seemingly passed up for the full-time hosting gig ... no word on if he'd be open to a reunion with his former employer.

LeVar Burton made a shocking discovery about his bloodline here in America -- namely, that he's actually part-white ... and that one of his ancestors was part of the Confederacy.

The 'Reading Rainbow' vet was featured in a recent episode of PBS's 'Finding Your Roots' -- where host Henry Louis Gates Jr. laid out LeVar's family tree dating back centuries ... and pinpointing a white dude from back in the 1800s as his great-great-grandfather.

Long story short, LB's great-grandma on his mom's side -- a woman named Mary Sills -- had listed her dad as being a Black man named Louis Sills ... but DNA tests show that isn't so.

Instead, the data shows her biological father was a Caucasian farmer from the South named James Henry Dixon -- who had actually fathered children with an unnamed Black woman who was born into slavery. Even more surprising ... Dixon had served in the Confederate Army as a teen during the Civil War, so technically -- he was a defender of slavery at that time.

In response to this news, LeVar said he had conflicting feelings ... explaining, "There’s some conflict roiling inside of me right now. But oddly enough, I feel a pathway opening up."

He added, "Knowing what I know about the history of this nation, I’ve wanted, especially in this current time frame, I believe that as Americans we need to have this conversation about who we are and how we got here."

Todd Chrisley's disgusted by his living conditions in prison, but he's still really worried about a potential prison transfer ... TMZ has learned.

The reality star's attorney Jay Surgent tells TMZ ... his client doesn't want to move prisons because he's afraid guards and officials within the new facility will retaliate against him for speaking out against living conditions in his current pad, FPC Pensacola.

Basically, Todd -- who's doing a 12-year bid for a slew of fraud charges -- thinks his well-documented criticism of FPCP will have other prison officials taking aim at him ... and he's keeping his head on a swivel.

Jay says TC's heard through the grapevine he could be on his way out after ripping on Pensacola for disgusting food, possible mold and bad plumbing ... among other issues.

It's all hypothetical currently -- Jay hasn't received formal notice of transfer or anything like that -- but says if Todd is booted out of Florida, he'll most likely stay in the federal system, not a state prison ... as his daughter, Savannah, said he might be.

Family is another reason Todd's lookin' to stay in Pensacola ... Savannah's consistently visiting him and her mom, Julie, who's locked up in Kentucky. Todd's worried they'll move him too far away, and it'll make it harder for Savannah to visit him.

Plus, Surgent says Chrisley's become a mentor to Pensacola's other inmates ... a good thing too since Surgent told us a few months ago Todd believes God sent him to prison to help other inmates.

For its part, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said it doesn't comment on individual prison transfers, but explained it reassigns prisoners for a variety of reasons including medical needs and or security reasons.

The FBOP spokesperson adds the government agency's top priority is providing safe, secure and humane accommodations for prisoners. The org encourages incarcerated individuals to go through the proper channels when voicing their concerns.
