Mariah Carey puede ser la reina de la Navidad, pero también tiene impecables modales. Supimos que le ha enviado flores a Brenda Lee después de que la cantante encabezara las listas con su éxito navideño 65 años después de que se grabara.

Brenda, conocida por su clásico tema navideño, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", compartió el gesto de Mariah en Instagram el jueves, mostrando un ramo con una nota escrita a mano por Mariah - una que le desea una Feliz Navidad y una gran felicitación por su "histórico # 1".

Como informamos, la melodía navideña de Brenda se convirtió en una estrella en la parte superior de la lista Hot 100 de Billboard el lunes, siendo esta la primera vez que ha tenido el honor desde su lanzamiento allá por 1958. Sorprendentemente, Brenda solo tenía 13 años cuando grabó el éxito.

La canción se ha ido abriendo camino los últimos años y la cantante de 78 años de edad, finalmente sacó un video musical largamente esperado para la canción el mes pasado.

También cantó su canción mientras surcaba los cielos, ¡para deleite de sus compañeros de avión!

Mariah Carey might be the queen of Christmas, but she's still a good sport ... sending Brenda Lee flowers after the singer topped the chats with her holiday hit, 65 years after it was recorded.

Brenda, known for her classic Christmas track, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," shared Mariah's gesture on Instagram Thursday, showing off a bouquet with a handwritten note from Mariah -- one that wishes her a Merry Christmas and a big congrats for her "historic #1."

As we reported, Brenda's holiday tune became a star on the top of Billboard's Hot 100 list Monday -- the first time it's had the honor since its release back in 1958. Shockingly, Brenda was only 13 when she recorded the hit.

The song has been creeping its way up to the top in recent years ... and the 78-year-old singer finally put out a long-overdue music video for the song last month.

She also sang her track while taking to the skies -- much to the delight of her fellow airplane passengers!

Una presentadora de noticias de la BBC fue sorprendida mostrando el dedo del medio mientras estaba al aire el miércoles, pero ella afirma que todo fue una "tonta broma".

Maryam Moshiri -una de las "presentadoras jefes" de la BBC- estaba sentada detrás de la mesa de noticias, protegida de la vista del público por el clip de bienvenida a su programa de mediodía que muestra una cuenta regresiva mezclada con otras imágenes.

Al final de la introducción, Moshiri apareció en pantalla haciendo una mueca graciosa con la cabeza inclinada hacia un lado, mientras miraba al público.

De repente se dio cuenta de que estaba en directo y abandonó rápidamente su bobo comportamiento para sumergirse nuevamente en una historia sobre el ex primer ministro británico Boris Johnson, en que pide disculpas al Reino Unido por el dolor causado por la pandemia del Coronavirus.

Moshiri emitió sus propias disculpas después de que su embarazosa metedura de pata se hiciera viral en las redes sociales.

En un comunicado publicado en X, Moshiri dijo que estaba compartiendo una broma privada con el equipo y siente mucho que saliera al aire.

Continuó: "No era mi intención que esto sucediera y lo siento si ofendí o molesté a alguien".

También insistió en que no estaba "tomándole el pelo" a sus espectadores o alguien en particular y que todo era una "broma tonta" dirigida a un pequeño número de colegas.

A BBC news anchor got caught flipping off the camera while live on the air Wednesday -- but she claims it was all a "silly joke."

Maryam Moshiri -- one of the BBC's "chief presenters" -- was sitting behind the news desk shielded from the audience's view by the intro to her noon show -- a digital countdown mixed with other graphics.

At the end of the intro, Moshiri flashed on screen making a funny face with her head tilted to one side -- while flipping the bird.

She suddenly realized she was live on air and quickly abandoned her goofy behavior, turning serious as she dived into a story about former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologizing to the UK for the pain caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Moshiri issued her own apology after her embarrassing gaffe went viral on social media.

In a statement posted on X, Moshiri said she was sharing a "private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air!"

She continued, "It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone."

She also insisted she was not "flipping the bird" to her viewers or anyone else -- and it was all a "silly joke" meant for a small number of colleagues.

A trio of manatees, including 2 former mates named Romeo and Juliet -- are finally being relocated after a viral video showed their isolated conditions, and the guy who helped make it happen is glad something's finally happening.

Phil Demers is the head of a whistleblower org called UrgentSeas, and a video he posted last month blew up on the Internet -- it showed the manatees, specifically Romeo, toiling in despair at the Miami Seaquarium.

Romeo's counterpart, Juliet, was being kept separately and also alone in the Seaquarium ... not to mention a third manatee named Clarity. After Demers published his video though, public backlash forced the company's hand.

Sadly, it doesn't sound like Romeo and Juliet are going to be reunited anytime soon ... and they probably won't even be released into the wild, and Demers tells us why. Still, the fact the manatees are going to better facilities with proper care is a 'W' in his book.

He says the fact this is happening is proof public pressure can, in fact, spur positive change and he's glad the manatees will get a new lease on life.

Una casa en Virginia explotó en una bola de fuego la noche del lunes, posiblemente causando la muerte del sospechoso de provocar el estallido, que estaba armado y disparando desde el interior durante un enfrentamiento policial.

La salvaje escena fue grabada en un dramático video en Arlington, en donde se ve cómo la casa vuela en pedazos y desprende escombros al cielo y a todo el barrio residencial.

Velo por ti mismo, un vehículo de la policía estaba con las luces intermitentes en la entrada de la casa cuando de repente detona una fuerte explosión que sacude el área circundante y hace gritar de miedo a los testigos alrededor.

Varios de ellos están por encima gritando, "Holy f****ing s**t y "What the f**k!" (Qué mier**).

Un representante del Departamento de Policía del Condado de Arlington dijo que los policías respondieron a la casa el lunes por la tarde después de que los vecinos informaran de haber escuchado disparos. Los agentes determinaron más tarde que el residente había disparado una pistola de bengalas entre 30 y 40 veces a la calle.

Horas más tarde, los agentes obtuvieron una orden de registro y estaban llegando a la casa cuando el hombre comenzó a disparar con un arma real antes de que la casa explotara.

Los investigadores aún no han confirmado si el sospechoso u otras personas en la casa fallecieron. No se informó de otras lesiones.

12:20 PM PT -- Authorities confirmed a 56-year-old man is "presumed, at this point, to be deceased."

A house in Virginia exploded in a fireball Monday night, possibly killing a gun-wielding suspect squeezing off shots from inside during a police standoff.

The wild scene was caught on dramatic video in Arlington last evening, as the entire home blew apart, sending debris into the sky and throughout the residential neighborhood.

Check it out ... an armored police vehicle with lights flashing rolls up to the driveway when, suddenly, the house detonates with a loud bang, rocking the surrounding area and prompting witnesses to scream in fear.

Several of them are overhead yelling, "Holy f****ing s**t and "What the f**k!"

A rep for the Arlington County Police Department said cops responded to the home Monday afternoon after neighbors reported hearing shots fired. The officers later determined the resident shot a flare gun 30 to 40 times into the street.

Hours later, officers obtained a search warrant and were converging on the home when the man began firing shots from a real gun before the house exploded.

Investigators have not yet confirmed whether the suspect or possibly others in the house were killed. No other injuries were reported.

The fire department responded and brought the blaze under control. The cause of the blast is under investigation.

Un YouTuber fue condenado a 6 meses de prisión federal el lunes por obstrucción a la justicia después de estrellar deliberadamente su avión para avivar sus redes sociales.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, de 30 años y ex snowboarder olímpico, se enfrentaba a una pena máxima de 20 años y fue condenado a solo 6 meses por John F. Walter, juez del distrito de Estados Unidos, después de declararse culpable por el cargo de "destrucción y ocultación con la intención de obstruir una investigación federal" el 30 de junio.

En un reciente comunicado de prensa, los fiscales federales dicen que Jacob confesó haber orquestado el accidente del 24 de noviembre de 2021 y haberlo publicado un mes después en YouTube, el 23 de diciembre, con el título: "Me estrellé con mi avión".

En el video se ve a Jacob volando un avión monomotor desde el aeropuerto de Lompoc a Mammoth Lakes, antes de afirmar que el motor estaba fallando a los 30 minutos.

Las imágenes capturan a Jacob abriendo la puerta lateral y saltando desde un paracaídas justo cuando el avión se precipitaba hacia abajo para estrellarse.

Los fiscales dicen que Jacbo esperó dos días a propósito para informar del accidente a la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte, quien le aconsejó que preservara los restos. La investigación se estancó cuando les dijo que no sabía donde se había estrellado el avión.

En su lugar, utilizó un helicóptero para levantar los restos del bosque nacional de Los Padres el 10 de diciembre de 2021, antes de desmantelarlo y deshacerse de él.

Durante su sentencia del lunes, el juez Walter le ordenó que se entregara a las autoridades antes del 29 de enero. En una declaración transmitida por su abogado, Jacobs dijo: "Esta experiencia ha sido tan humillante".

Una mujer policía de Alabama ha sido suspendida por reírse mientras utilizaba una pistola eléctrica contra un hombre negro esposado que lloraba... el angustioso video ha circulado ampliamente por Internet.

En el clip, la policía no identificada del Departamento de Policía de Reforma en el condado de Pickens fue filmado el sábado jurando y reprendiendo al hombre, que el fiscal de distrito Andy Hamlin dice que fue detenido por un cargo de tráfico de fentanilo.

Se le puede ver gritándole al hombre esposado que se tumbe en la parte delantera del vehículo con la cara hacia abajo y ordenándole que "se quede quieto".

Sin embargo, cuando el hombre responde: "No voy a hacer m***, hermano. Tengo una pistola ahí mismo", ella le saca la pistola del bolsillo y le dispara inmediatamente en la espalda.

Con el hombre claramente dolorido y llorando, ella le advierte: "¿Lo quieres otra vez? Cállate la boca".

En respuesta al veneno mostrado por la policía, el jefe de policía de Reform —Richard Black— y la alcaldesa —Melody Davis— emitieron un comunicado conjunto en el que se lee: "El Departamento de Policía de Reforma es consciente de la circulación de un video que implica la detención de un ciudadano el 2 de diciembre".

Se añadió: "El departamento está en proceso de entregar todo el material relacionado con esta detención a la Oficina de Investigación del Estado de Alabama y ha solicitado una investigación exhaustiva de las circunstancias que rodearon la detención. De acuerdo con la política de la ciudad, el agente implicado ha sido puesto en excedencia administrativa mientras se lleva a cabo la investigación".

El video ha provocado la furia generalizada en Internet, con algunos calificándolo de "repugnante" y de "abuso de poder" y otros pidiendo su detención.

El tráiler del esperadísimo Grand Theft Auto VI que saldrá a la venta esta semana, se ha publicado un día antes de lo previsto debido a una filtración, la cual Rockstar Games se esfuerza por deshacer.

Así es la cosa... el tráiler de "GTA 6" estaba previsto que se publicara oficialmente el martes, pero 24 horas antes, una cuenta de Tuiter/X publicó el tráiler completo y circuló por la red durante un par de horas. No está claro cómo sucedió esto.

El tráiler duraba un minuto y medio y mostraba un montón de cosas que los fans pueden esperar en la nueva entrega, incluidos nuevos personajes (como un coprotagonista masculino y otro femenino) y un montón de papeles secundarios. Los mapas también se desvelaron en la versión filtrada.

Casi todas las cuentas de juegos y tecnología que cubren este tipo de cosas citaron en Tuiter a la cuenta que publicó el tráiler, pero ahora el video ha sido eliminado por completo de Internet, así que parece que Rockstar y compañía se están apresurando en retirarlo y quieren publicarlo mañana bajo sus propios términos.

Por desgracia para ellos, las capturas de pantalla del tráiler están circulando por todas partes y todo el mundo ha visto ya lo que incluirá "GTA 6". Esto incluye un montón de cosas de alta tecnología dentro del propio juego, como retransmisiones en directo de los propios personajes.

La verdad es que tiene muy buena pinta y sí, es una putada que le hayan robado el protagonismo a Rockstar. Pero bueno, la gente está feliz de que este juego finalmente esté llegando después de 10 años.

A YouTuber was sentenced Monday to 6 months in federal prison for obstruction of justice after deliberately crashing his single-propeller plane ... to bolster his social media.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, 30, of Lompoc -- a former Olympic snowboarder who was facing a max sentence of 20 years -- was sentenced to just 6 months by United States District Judge John F. Walter ... after pleading guilty to one count of "destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation" on June 30.

Federal prosecutors say in a recent news release that Jacob confessed to orchestrating the crash on November 24, 2021 ... posting the pre-planned event to YouTube nearly a month later on December 23, titling it, "I Crashed My Airplane."

The video sees Jacob flying a single-engine plane from Lompoc City Airport to Mammoth Lakes ... before claiming the plane's engine had failed 30 minutes in.

The footage captures Jacob opening the side door and leaping out to deploy a parachute just as the plane hurtles downward into a crash below.

Prosecutors say he purposely waited two days to report the pre-planned crash to the National Transportation Safety Board, who advised him to preserve the wreckage --- though he stalled the investigation, telling them he didn't know where the plane went down.

Instead, he used a helicopter to lift the wreckage out of the Los Padres National Forest on December 10, 2021 ... before dismantling and disposing of it.

During his sentencing Monday, Judge Walter ordered him to surrender to the authorities by Jan. 29 ... with Jacobs saying in a statement conveyed by his lawyer: "This experience has been so humbling."

A white female Alabama cop has been placed on leave for laughing while using a stun gun on a crying handcuffed Black man ... with the distressing video widely circulating online.

In the clip, the unidentified cop from the Reform Police Department in Pickens County was filmed Saturday swearing and berating the man ... who District Attorney Andy Hamlin says was arrested on a trafficking fentanyl charge.

She's seen shouting at the cuffed man to lie on the front of the vehicle with his face down and ordering him to "stay still."

However, when the man responds, "I ain't doing s***, bro. I got a gun right there," she takes the gun out of his pocket and immediately deploys the stun gun into his back.

With the man clearly in pain and crying, she warns: "Do you want it again? Shut your b***h a** up!"

In response to the venom shown by the cop, reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis released a joint statement ... reading: "The Reform Police Department is aware of a video circulating involving a citizen's arrest on December 2."

It was added: "The department is in the process of turning over all materials related to this arrest to the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation and has requested a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest. In accordance with City Policy, the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is conducted."

The clip has drawn widespread fury online ... with some labeling it "sickening" and an "abuse of power" and others calling for her arrest.

The trailer for the highly-anticipated 'Grand Theft Auto VI' is dropping this week -- but it did so a full day early due to a leak ... which Rockstar Games is now scrambling to undo.

Here's the deal ... the trailer for 'GTA 6' was scheduled to be officially released on Tuesday -- but a good 24 hours beforehand ... an account on Twitter/X posted the whole damn thing in full, and it made the rounds for good couple hours or so online. Unclear how this happened.

The trailer was a minute and a half long, and it featured a lot of goods from what fans can expect in the new installment -- including new characters (like a male and female co-lead) and a bunch of other side roles. The maps were also unveiled in the leaked version.

Just about every tech/gaming account that covers this sort of stuff quote-tweeted the one account that posted the trailer -- but now, that video has been removed from the internet entirely, so it appears Rockstar and co. are leaping up and down to yank it ... and want to release it on their own terms tomorrow.

Unfortunately for them, screengrabs from the trailer are circulating all over the place ... and everyone's already seen what 'GTA 6' will entail. That also includes a lot of high-tech stuff within the game itself, including live streams from the characters themselves.

It certainly looks pretty cool ... and yeah, it sucks that Rockstar's thunder got stolen here. But hey, people are just happy this game is finally landing after a whopping 10 years.

A woman dished all on her father's shocking deathbed confession ... saying her life changed when she discovered he had been a wanted man for most of his life following an old bank heist.

Ashley Randele came on "TMZ Live" Monday to tell her tale -- saying her father, Tom Randele, came clean with an estimated 6 weeks to live following a lung cancer diagnosis ... suddenly off-loading the decades-long secret as they watched NCIS.

The 71-year-old explained to Ashley and her mom that he had to change his real name ... and they ought to finally know in case it came up after his passing ... because authorities "were probably still looking for him."

Ashley says she pressed him for more info the next day after realizing it wasn't a "terrible dad joke" -- adding it was vital for her to know her dad's real name: Ted Conrad.

Ignoring his pleas not to look into it, Ashley later found herself searching his name online ... yielding various "vault teller robs bank" headlines ... and recent articles stating the 50-year hunt was still active.

The revelation left her stunned ... after all, she had just learned the man she always perceived as an average suburban dad stole $215,000 --- the equivalent of $1.8M today -- while working as a vault teller at the Society National Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, July 11, 1969, as a 20-year-old college dropout.

He fled to Washington, D.C., that night ... and when bank bosses discovered the theft on Monday, the FBI was called, and Conrad became a wanted man.

He ended up in Boston ... assuming a new identity and resuming normalcy despite his picture plastered across headlines.

Whether the heist was worth it or not would have been a question for Ted, AKA, Tom ... as Ashley says, most of the stolen money was blown on ritzy digs and at least one bad investment ... reaching the point of her loaning her parents 10K before they filed for bankruptcy in 2014.

Ashley goes in depth about her story on her podcast, "Smoke Screen: My Fugitive Dad."

A mother in Mexico died after her leg got bitten off by a shark in the ocean -- this as she attempted to save her daughter ... who ultimately survived.

The shocking aftermath of the shark attack in Melaque was caught on video that made the rounds this weekend -- and it's incredibly brutal. You can see 26-year-old Maria Fernandez Martinez Jimenez being carried to shore by a group of bystanders ... and her limb's missing.

People scream in terror as those nearby rush over to help and flag down first responders -- but, sadly, Jimenez ended up losing her life after a massive amount of blood loss.

Per local officials, Jimenez was in the water with her 5-year-old when she noticed a shark swimming close by, about 75 feet from shore. The mother quickly hoisted her daughter up onto a floating play platform ... however, the animal ended up going after her instead.

The child is said to have been uninjured in the episode, but it's an absolute tragedy ... because she lost her mom. Law enforcement shut down the beach in the aftermath, including surrounding seaside areas as a precautionary measure.

More stars getting crap thrown at them while they're on stage ... this time it was Florence Pugh, and it happened all the way down in Brazil.

The actress appeared alongside her 'Dune 2' costars Sunday in Sao Paolo for an event called CCXP 2023 -- basically just a Comic Con thing, where they all showed up alongside director Denis Villeneuve and talked about the forthcoming sequel in front of fans.

As their segment was coming to a close ... the entire cast -- including Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler -- gathered toward the front of the stage to pose together.

Out of nowhere, this thing comes flying in from the audience and smacks Pugh in the mug -- which definitely caught her by surprise ... not to mention everyone else too. All her cast members checked on her to make sure she was okay ... and their time ended awkwardly.

No telling what exactly it was ... but at first glance, one might say it resembles a shrimp.

Unclear if anybody was held to account over this -- if you watch the video, it doesn't look like security is running over to the culprit ... or if much of anything else was done at all. Of course, it goes without saying ... this troubling trend of hurling objects continues even now.

We've seen a lot of performers -- especially musicians -- have to deal with overzealous fans like this here in the States ... but it appears people all over the world are doing it as well.
