American actress Aubrey Anderson-Emmons was just 3 years old when she first started playing little Lily -- the sassy, adorable preschooler and adopted daughter of Mitchell and Cameron -- on the iconic family TV series "Modern Family" back in 2011.

Aubrey was part of an ensemble cast of Hollywood greats like Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the high-strung environmental lawyer Mitchell Prichett, Eric Stonestreet as the talkative stay-at-home dad and trained clown, Cameron Tucker ... and of course Sofia Vergara as the outspoken stay-at-home mom who loves to shop, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett.

During her 11 season-run on 'Modern Family' ... Aubrey also appeared on 'Bill Nye Saves The World' and the Nickelodeon competition show 'Paradise Run'.

La actriz estadounidense Aubrey Anderson-Emmons tenía solo tres años cuando empezó a interpretar a la pequeña Lily, la descarada y adorable niña de preescolar e hija adoptiva de Mitchell y Cameron en la icónica serie de televisión "Modern Family" allá por 2011.

Aubrey formaba parte de un elenco de grandes estrellas de Hollywood como Jesse Tyler Ferguson en el papel del nervioso abogado medioambientalista Mitchell Prichett, Eric Stonestreet como el locuaz padre de familia y payaso amaestrado Cameron Tucker, y por supuesto, Sofía Vergara, como la franca madre de familia a la que le encanta ir de compras, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett.

Durante sus 11 temporadas en "Modern Family", Aubrey también apareció en "Bill Nye Saves The World" y en el concurso de Nickelodeon "Paradise Run".

One of the prosecutors who was on the O.J. Simpson case is now trying to put on a robe and sit behind the bench -- and he's got the backing of one of the victims who was slain.

Chris Darden is running for an open seat on the L.A. County Superior Court -- and ahead of election day in March, his campaign has announced a new endorsement ... coming from none other than Kim and Fred Goldman, the sister and father of the late Ron Goldman.

Kim says of CD's bid ... "Christopher Darden was a friend to my family during one of the darkest times in our lives. He helped change the focus of a 'celebrity murder trial' and made it about the victims."

She adds, "My family has never forgotten that, and I am sure it is remembered by countless other family members for whom he has been an advocate and a champion."

One last note from KG about Darden ... "He not only has the legal skills but also the humanity and empathy for victims, along with a true dedication to ensuring
justice for all. My family wholeheartedly supports him and encourages everyone
else to do the same. He will be an outstanding judge."

This is just the latest vote of confidence he's received from someone connected to the O.J. case --- which Darden lost alongside his co-counsel Marcia Clark in the '90s. Back in November, Chris secured another endorsement from one Lance Ito ... the retired judge who presided over the double murder trial.

Darden has snagged a number of other endorsements as well in recent months -- including a bunch of other judges ... as well as his old boss, ex-District Attorney Gil Garcetti.

He seems to have a good shot at winning -- only two other candidates are running for Seat No. 130 ... and Chris has a ton of support carrying his sails at this point. The one person who hasn't come out for him just yet is Marcia herself.

Bill Maher says Kanye West's antisemitism and appeal to young people is a dangerous mix ... which is why Kanye's appearance on Bill's podcast won't ever see the light of day.

We talked to Bill for a new "TMZ Investigates" airing Monday at 9 PM ET/8 Central on FOX -- examining how Kanye's legacy as one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time is impacted by his public outbursts and hateful remarks -- and Bill says Kanye's views are way too problematic for him.

Bill tells us the biggest problem with Kanye is how he uses his massive platform to spread antisemitic propaganda ... as BM puts it, Ye's spreading the fertilizer for antisemitism to grow.

While Bill tried to have a meaningful dialogue with Kanye, bringing him in for a two-hour conversation on the "Club Random With Bill Maher" podcast, Bill says he ultimately decided against airing the episode because he didn't want to amplify Kanye's nasty rhetoric.

Bill sums up his experience with Kanye this way ... Ye's a "charming antisemite."

Trevor Noah's backing up Taylor Swift ... saying the Grammys wouldn't focus lenses on her like the NFL -- they'd go after a former player.

The comedian just took to the Grammys stage to perform his opening monologue -- during which he stayed real positive and complimentary -- before mentioning the world's biggest pop star and chastising NFL fans for blaming Taylor for the amount football broadcasts cut to her.

Noah said she doesn't control the cameras, so people need to chill out ... before insisting that every time someone mentioned Swift, he'd make sure the cameras cut to an ex-NFL player.

The camera then jumped ... to actor and "America's Got Talent" host Terry Crews, who looked totally surprised by the attention.

If you don't know, TC wasn't always an actor -- he played 32 NFL games for three teams between 1991 and 1995 ... the perfect person for TN to use in his revenge plan.

Terry cracked up ... with Noah continuing to yel; funny/harassing things at the absolutely ripped 55-year-old.

It's all in good fun and an especially topical joke ... 'cause Taylor's probably heading to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas next week -- so NFL fans can expect more Swift on their screen soon enough

BTW ... Taylor looked stunning in a flowing white dress on the red carpet -- which she was left to walk alone because of her man Travis Kelce's practice schedule.

La 66ª edición de los Grammy no ha empezado de la mejor manera, porque la Academia ha hecho que Warren Beatty, ¡y los fans de Nicki Minaj se enfaden!

Así es la cosa, los Grammys no comienzan hasta las 5 PM, pero antes de la ceremonia, la Academia utiliza su cuenta de X para entregar algunos de los trofeos, básicamente para reducir el tiempo durante la ceremonia.

Uno de esos premios, Mejor Canción de Rap, le fue entregado a Nicki Minaj y Ice Spice por su canción "Barbie World", fue un gran momento para los raperos, pero no duró porque, la Academia aparentemente tuvo que retirarlo.

Verás... la Academia borró ese tuit de felicitación y publicó uno diferente, diciendo que Killer Mike en realidad había ganado el trofeo por su tema "Scientists & Engineers" con André 3000, Future, y Eryn Allen Kane.

Nicki ya ha pasado por esto antes, lleva 12 nominaciones sin llevarse un premio. También fue nominada a Mejor Canción Escrita para Medios Visuales, pero perdió frente a Billie Eilish y FINNEAS por "What Was I Made For?". ¡Cuando llueve, diluvia!

Pero si alguien se lo está tomando peor que Nicki, son las Barbz, que piensan que toda la ceremonia está arreglada.

De hecho, están tan seguros de esto que tienen #Scammys y #BarbieWorld como trending en X, básicamente afirmando que la Academia amañó los resultados debido a la explosiva pelea entre Nicki y Megan Thee Stallion.

The 66th Grammy Awards aren't off to the best start ... 'cause the Recording Academy pulled a Warren Beatty -- and Nicki Minaj fans are PISSED!!!

Here's the deal ... the Grammys don't start until 5 PM PT, but before the ceremony, the Recording Academy uses its X account to hand out some of the trophies -- basically to cut down time during the ceremony.

One of those awards ... Best Rap Song, which was won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for their song "Barbie World" -- a huge moment for the rappers -- except it didn't last 'cause the Academy seemingly took it back.

You see ... the Recording Academy deleted that congratulatory tweet and posted a different one -- saying Killer Mike had actually won the trophy for his track "Scientists & Engineers" featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.

Multiple outlets are reporting KM as the real winner of the Gramophone... so it seems NM and IS are officially out of luck!

Nicki's been through this song and dance before ... she's now racked up 12 nominations without taking home a single one. She was also nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media -- but lost that one to Billie Eilish and FINNEAS for "What Was I Made For?" When it rains, it pours!

But if anyone's taking it harder than Nicki ... it's the Barbz -- who think the whole damn ceremony is rigged.

In fact, they're so sure about this they've got #Scammys and #BarbieWorld trending on X ... basically claiming the Academy rigged the results because of Nicki's explosive beef with Megan Thee Stallion.

So is there some kinda of grand conspiracy going on, or just an honest mistake from the Recording Academy's social media manager? Let us know below.

Glen Powell está acabando con todos esos rumores sobre Sydney Sweeney, porque en lugar de suspirar por su prometida compañera de reparto, está de fiesta con un montón de modelos.

El actor salió en Los Ángeles el sábado a una fiesta Pre-Grammys con unas cuantas damas encantadoras, y aunque no le dijo nada a los fotógrafos, dejó una gran impresión entre la multitud.

Glen se subió a un carro de lujo con varias personas, entre ellas las modelos Sienna Raine y Sarah Hands y, si somos honestos, un par de sus acompañantes parecían absolutamente enamoradas del chico.

Basta con mirar a esas caras. Grandes sonrisas y ojos atentos, parece que Powell era el alma de la fiesta. No es de extrañar, ya que el tipo no solo es guapísimo, ¡sino también muy divertido!

Glen claramente está avanzando en el mundo de las citas, recordemos que su ex novia -Gigi Paris- lo dejó en medio de especulaciones de que estaba interesado en Sydney Sweeney de Euphoria, los dos protagonizaron la comedia romántica "Anyone But You" y las fotos en el set se veían bastante coquetas para ser honestos.

Por supuesto, la pareja ha negado que algo estuviera pasando entre ellos, aunque Sydney dejó algunos comentarios sugerentes en el Insta de Glen y dijo que ella se preocupa por él profundamente... este tipo de cosas sin duda llamó la atención de los fans.

Glen parece estar poniendo esos rumores atrás, esperemos que de una vez por todas, porque el hombre está claramente disfrutando de la vida de soltero después de salir de una larga relación.

Glen Powell's really putting all those Sydney Sweeney rumors to bed ... 'cause instead of pining over his engaged costar he's partying with tons of models!

The actor stepped out in L.A. Saturday after a Pre-Grammys bash with a few lovely ladies ... and even though he didn't say anything to the photogs waiting outside the venue he still made quite the impression on the crowd.

GP hopped in an SUV with several people including models Sienna Raine and Sarah Hands ... and, if we're being honest, a couple of his companions seemed absolutely smitten with the guy.

Just look at those faces ... big smiles and attentive eyes -- seems like Powell was the life of the party. Not exactly surprising given the dude's not only drop-dead gorgeous, but he's also hella funny to boot!

Glen's clearly moving on in the dating world ... remember, his longtime GF Gigi Paris dumped him amid speculation he was interested in Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney -- the two starred in the rom-com "Anyone But You" and on-set photos looked flirty as hell.

Of course, the pair have denied anything was going on between them ... though Sydney left some suggestive comments on Glen's IG and said she cares about him deeply -- a lot of stuff that caught fans' eyes.

Glen seems to be putting those rumors to rest -- hopefully once and for all -- here ... 'cause the man's clearly enjoying the single life after getting out of a long relationship.

Shane Gillis is finally going to take the "Saturday Night Live" stage ... four years after he was fired for racist comments before his first episode.

The controversial comedian will host the show on February 24 alongside musical guest 21 Savage -- a little over four years after he was fired from the program after jokes featuring racist and homophobic slurs came to light.

As we previously reported ... SG was hired back in 2019 before a comment he made on "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" the previous year. You can watch the clip above ... it's pretty demeaning language.

Obviously, this comment caused a firestorm ... with an 'SNL' spokesperson saying Lorne Michaels and other execs had sat down with Shane and decided he wasn't the right fit for the show.

Shane responded at the time with the statement, "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses." He also said he'd personally apologize to anyone who was offended.

Bowen Yang -- the prominent Asian American cast member of the iconic sketch show, who was hired the same year as Shane and is still on the show -- said he was going to sit down with Shane after the decision was made.

Yang will almost certainly appear alongside Gillis in the episode ... unclear if their convo ever went down or how he feels about the embattled comedian.

FWIW ... Gillis hasn't stopped saying controversial jokes over the years -- though perhaps they aren't as inflammatory as his 2018 comments.

However, he's still got fans up in arms over his hosting gig ... with many taking to social media to blast the NBC staple for allowing Shane the platform.

We'll have to wait and see if Shane addresses his firing on the show in a few weeks.

Shane Gillis finalmente va a subir al escenario de "Saturday Night Live" cuatro años después de haber sido despedido por comentarios racistas antes de su primer episodio.

El polémico comediante será el anfitrión del show el 24 de febrero junto al invitado musical 21 Savage, un poco más de cuatro años después de que fue despedido del programa después de que salieran a la luz chistes con insultos racistas y homofóbicos.

Como informamos anteriormente, el comediante fue contratado en 2019 antes de un comentario que hizo en "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" el año anterior. Puedes ver el clip arriba... es un lenguaje bastante degradante.

Obviamente, este comentario causó una tormenta de fuego, con un portavoz de "SNL" diciendo que Lorne Michaels y otros ejecutivos se habían sentado con Shane y decidieron que no era el adecuado para el programa.

Shane respondió en ese momento con la siguiente declaración: "Soy un cómico que va más allá de los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría de ellos malos, encontrarás muchos fallos". También dijo que se disculparía personalmente con quien se sintiera ofendido.

Bowen Yang -el destacado miembro asiático-americano del elenco del icónico programa de sketches, que fue contratado el mismo año que Shane y sigue en el programa- dijo que iba a sentarse con Shane después de que se tomara la decisión.

Yang es casi seguro que aparecerá junto a Gillis en el episodio y no está claro si su conversación fue en torno a cómo se siente respecto a la participación del comediante.

Gillis no ha dejado de decir chistes polémicos los últimos años, aunque tal vez no son tan inflamatorias como sus comentarios de 2018.

Sin embargo, todavía tiene a los fanáticos en armas por su actuación como anfitrión, con muchos tomando las redes sociales para arremeter contra NBC por permitirle participar a Shane.

Tendremos que esperar y ver si Shane aborda su despido en el programa en unas pocas semanas.

"Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban's not letting Fontainebleau Vegas off the hook -- even though the resort's updated its much-maligned nachos, he has a different plan for upping their appetizer game.

We got the reality TV personality/foodie out in NYC this week and asked him about Fontainebleau's viral nacho debacle. He was actually at the hotel's opening night, and while he complimented most of the menu options ... he went scorched earth on the nachos.

ICYMI, the meager nacho offering went viral after a pic of the plate, priced at $24, ended up on social media. The unappetizing dish caused a frenzy on X, and 'Bleau ultimately redid their nachos and posted an updated pic, trying to do some damage control.

JC's very clear on where the hotel went wrong ... saying the chef should've invited him into the kitchen to design a truly over-the-top nacho plate.

As for whether nachos should even be on a five-star menu, the "Foodgod" is unequivocal -- it all depends on what you put on those bad boys! He was generous enough to offer up a few ingredients to make high-class gourmet nachos. Pay attention, Fontainebleau!!!

And, if the ritzy Vegas spot hears something they like here, it better move quickly. Foodgod's a gun for hire, and is already chatting with other Strip hotels.

One more thing, lots of folks were pissed about the $24 price tag for the "nachos" -- but Cheban's cosigning on that ... pointing out nachos at regular places go for about $17, and Fontainebleau's far from regular!

We're wrapping up the week here at TMZ, but we're just getting started on juicy topics to talk about on TV -- which is exactly what we did on Friday.

On 'TMZ Live,' Harvey and Charles dove head-first into the Darius Rucker arrest that goes all the way back to last February, and which landed with him in a jail cell earlier this week.

It's a bit of a convoluted mess, but long story short ... the guy got stopped in 2023 over expired tags -- which ended in cops finding what they say might've been drugs ... and almost a year later, they said they were sure it was drugs, resulting in Hootie posing for a mug shot.

Over at 'TMZ on TV,' we got into Avril Lavigne's new friend (and maybe love interest?) who went skating with her out in L.A. earlier this week ... in what sure looked like a date.

Of course, we're talking about Nate Smith ... whom we ran into at the airport, and who cleared the air. Take a look ... the guys seems to suggest that AL is ... just a pal.

Finally, we get to 'TMZ Sports' ... where Babcock talked to NFL HOF'er Andre Reed about the Buffalo Bills and Stefon Diggs ... who AR says could take a pay cut to stick around.

Check your local listings for when TMZ is on in your area or catch up on past episodes!

Estamos terminando la semana aquí en TMZ, pero vamos a empezar revisando algunos temas jugosos, que fue exactamente lo que hicimos en televisión el viernes.

En "TMZ Live", Harvey y Charles se metieron de cabeza en el arresto de Darius Rucker que se remonta al pasado mes de febrero, y que terminó con él dentro de una celda a principios de esta semana.

Es un poco enredado, pero en pocas palabras, el hombre fue detenido en 2023 por unos tags caducados que terminó con los policías encontrando lo que ellos decían ser drogas. Casi un año más tarde, dijeron que estaban seguros de que era droga, lo que resultó en Darius posando para una foto policial.

En "TMZ on TV", hablamos del nuevo amigo de Avril Lavigne (¿o tal vez algo más?), con quien fue a patinar por Los Ángeles a principios de esta semana en lo que parecía una cita.

Por supuesto, estamos hablando de Nate Smith, con quien nos encontramos en el aeropuerto y aclaró todo. Echa un vistazo, los chicos parece sugerir que Avril Lavigne es solo una amiga.

Por último, llegamos a "TMZ Sports", donde Babcock habló con Andre Reed sobre los Buffalo Bills y Stefon Diggs. Andre piensa que este podría considerar un recorte salarial para quedarse.

Alyssa Milano's responding to claims she got Shannen Doherty fired from "Charmed" way back in the early 2000s ... well, kinda.

The actress -- who played Phoebe Halliwell on 178 episodes of "Charmed" from 1998 to 2006 -- hit the stage at 2024 MegaCon Orlando Friday to talk about the hit show ... and, of course, Shannen Doherty's controversial comments came up.

ICYMI ... Doherty hopped on her podcast titled "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" back in December and spoke with former costar Holly Marie Combs about their experiences on the show -- and with Milano.

Among the many stories -- Holly said Alyssa went to the producers and laid down an ultimatum ... axe Shannen or she'd quit and sue "Charmed" for being a hostile workplace which led to Doherty's unceremonious exit.

Obviously, fans needed to get an answer from Alyssa, and they got one ... just one that completely skirted the claims themselves.

Check out the video taken by a fan at the convention and posted to YouTube. Alyssa starts by saying she wants to address the elephant in the room, but she basically avoids the tusks and trunk entirely.

Instead of answering the claims directly, Milano kept reiterating how "sad" she was by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show before saying she was upset "people can’t move past it. And I’m sad that we all can’t just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us."

It seems Milano did get choked up while saying her piece, appearing to brush away tears onstage ... but she didn't clear up what happened with Doherty's exit, and the whole thing actually makes it seem like Milano may have done exactly what SD accused her of.

BTW ... Alyssa's active on Twitter -- retweeting a couple posts about her comments at the convention, but not adding any new info as of yet.

Shannen's still got her podcast though ... so maybe another Alyssa Milano-filled episode coming soon?

Scary moment in "The Situation" household ... as a Ring camera shows Mike Sorrentino's son choking on his favorite pasta.

The "Jersey Shore" mainstay shared the clip via social media on Saturday ... documenting a nice family dinner Thursday night that quickly evolved into a nightmare scenario.

A family meal starts out innocently enough ... with Mike sitting at the table and his 2-year-old son Romeo sitting in the chair beside him. The little guy puts a bit of pasta pesto gnocchi in his mouth -- and that's when things take a turn.

Romeo's almost immediately in distress ... coughing and starting to cry -- and Papa Mike's on his feet within seconds, checking in on his eldest child before Romeo collapses into a hunched-over position.

One of the two adults Sorrentino is with can be heard clearly saying "He's choking, he's choking" with a woman who appears to be Mike's wife Lauren heading to the kitchen for some water.

MS smacks his son on the back repeatedly, trying to dislodge the food from his windpipe which seems to work eventually ... with Romeo letting out a loud cry as his mother seems to use some kind of tool to get the food out and pulls him into a tight embrace.

The father-of-three posted a couple pics of his kids after the vid ... and gave more details on the ordeal -- basically saying Romeo got the pasta stuck in his throat while applauding himself and his wife for staying calm despite the horror of the moment.
