Kim Kardashian has her medulla oblongata at the forefront of her mind for the holidays -- and the reason is she got a wacky gift ... a life-sized replica of her noodle!

The reality star posted a couple videos over the weekend showing off this Christmas present she says she received from a company called Prenuvo -- which does full-body scans, and which actually hosted Kim and some other family members to do a diagnostic screening.

Looks like they used the imaging they got of her brain, and sent her a 3D model of it for the holidays ... and from what we can tell, Kim's impressed with the thoughtful gesture.

Kim actually worked with Prenuvo earlier in the year, and encouraged people to plunk down for the company's scan ... noting it could detect something you might not normally catch. The only problem, for some, is that it's pricey -- about $2,500 per scan.

Might not be something everyone can afford, but Kim sure sounds thankful she got it done.

La última actuación en directo de Anita Baker está recibiendo hate luego de que se pusiera irritable con el público en Texas. Parte de esto fue capturado en video.

La legendaria cantante estaba haciendo un show en el Toyota Center de Houston el viernes por la noche para una audiencia bastante sólida, pero en ciertos momentos, durante el concierto, Anita parece haberse ofuscado un poco con algunas personas de la primera fila.

Hay dos videos circulando en línea en este momento. Uno muestra a Anita diciendole a algunas personas que estaban justo debajo de ella cerca del escenario que dejaran de grabar en medio de una canción.

Hay otro momento en el que se puede ver y escuchar a Anita pidiéndole a los de seguridad que echen a la gente.

En general, esto parece haber dejado un mal sabor de boca en el público, con algunos en línea quejándose de que Anita estaba más preocupada por discutir con un selecto grupo de fans que hacer el mejor trabajo que podía en el escenario para todos. Otros afirmaron que parecía haberse saltado algunas letras, y alegaron que su actuación, en general, fue relativamente efímera y algo descuidada.

Ahora, hay un buen puñado de personas que defienden a Anita, diciendo que la gente de la primera fila estaba, de hecho, actuando y provocandola. Otros dijeron que la actuación, en general, fue genial.

Por supuesto, el telón de fondo más grande de esto es la disputa con Babyface de a principios de este año. Donde se metió con él y sus fans en la Twitter-esfera.

Anita Baker's latest live performance is catching a little heat after she apparently got testy with the audience out in Texas -- parts of which were captured on video.

The legendary crooner was doing a show in Houston's Toyota Center Friday night and playing to a pretty solid-sized audience ... but at certain points during the gig, AB appears to have gotten into it a bit with some folks down in the front row.

There are 2 videos, in particular, that are circulating online right now -- one shows Anita telling some people right below her near the stage to stop recording ... in the middle of a song.

There's another moment where Anita could be seen/heard asking for security to boot folks.

Overall, this seems to have left a bad taste in people's mouths -- with some online complaining that Anita was more concerned with arguing with a select few ticket-buyers than doing the best job she could onstage. Others claimed she seemed to miss some lyrics ... and alleged her performance, overall, was relatively short-lived and somewhat sloppy.

Now, there's a good handful of people defending Anita ... saying the folks in the front row were, in fact, acting up and testing AB. Others said the performance, at large, was great.

Of course, the larger backdrop to this is the Babyface feud she was in earlier this year while on the road -- during which she got into it with both him and his fans in the Twitter-sphere.

Colin Jost was strong-armed into making his wife, Scarlett Johansson, the butt of a joke he was forced to deliver on 'SNL' ... and he has his good pal Michael Che to thank for it.

Last night was the sketch comedy series' last show of the year, and every Christmas -- the two "Weekend Update" hosts have a tradition of writing jokes for one another that the other hasn't seen ... but has to read in front of the audience as if it's coming straight from them.

It's one of the better segments on the show these days, and 2023's iteration didn't disappoint -- especially for one crack Che made Colin read ... at the expense of his A-lister spouse.

The premise was highlighting a new NY law that now allows movie theaters to serve booze -- which Colin then said would serve as the only way he can get through ScarJo's "little art movies" ... with a flash to an OTS graphic of her in "Black Widow."

It was a pretty sick burn (from Che) and the audience definitely seemed to notice ... cackling and dropping the collective "OOOOOHHHHHHH" to signify how wild it was that her hubby was saying that.

Of course, it's all in good fun ... and Colin rolled with it, including reading the tail end of Che's edgy joke for him -- in which he said, "I'm kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you're an even better Black widow than Coretta Scott King."

The funniest part about all of Colin's jokes -- which were written to be pretty racist against Black people -- is that Che brought out a (fake) civil rights activist to sit next to him while he delivered all of these ... and Che ribbed him about it each and every time.

Colin Jost fue forzado a hacer de su esposa, Scarlett Johansson, el blanco de una broma en "SNL" y tiene que agradecérselo a su buen amigo Michael Che.

Anoche fue el último programa del año de la serie de sketches cómicos, y cada Navidad, los dos presentadores de "Weekend Update" tienen la tradición de escribirse chistes que el otro no ha visto, pero que tiene que leerlos delante del público como si vinieran directamente de él.

Es uno de los mejores segmentos del programa, y este último no decepcionó. La mejor parte fue cuando Che hizo que Colin leyera una broma a expensas de su cónyuge superestrella.

La premisa fue poner sobre la palestra una nueva ley de Nueva York que le permite a las salas de cine servir alcohol. Fue cuando Colin dijo que es la única manera de que Scarlett pudiera sacar adelante sus "películas de cine arte", mientras se proyectaba una imagen de "Viuda Negra".

Fue una broma bastante cruel y el público definitivamente la sintió, dejándose escuchar un gran "OOOOOHHHHHHH". Sin duda fue una broma bastante atrevida para decir siendo un novio.

Por supuesto, todo fue muy divertido y Colin le siguió el juego, incluso leyéndole la parte final del chiste de Che, en la que decía: "Solo es una broma cariño. Me encantan todas tus películas. Y si me preguntas, eres incluso mejor viuda negra que Coretta Scott King".

La parte más divertida de todas las bromas de Colin -que fueron escritas para ser bastante racista contra los negros- es que Che sacó a un (falso) activista de los derechos civiles para sentarse junto a él mientras que él tenía que despachar chiste tras chiste.

Donald Trump se presentó a ver uno de los nocauts más violentos en la historia de la UFC, pero su atención se desvió por una chica del ring en bikini.

Trump estaba allí para apoyar a uno de sus fans más acérrimos, el luchador de la UFC Colby Covington, que terminó perdiendo por decisión en el evento principal ante Leon Edwards.

Covington, al más puro estilo Trump, arremetió contra los resultados, diciendo que recordaban a las elecciones "amañadas" de 2020. Luego se puso político sin más, diciendo: "Pueden retrasarnos, pero no pueden negarnos. Él va a hacer que América vuelva a ser grande. Necesitamos fronteras seguras, necesitamos que baje la inflación y necesitamos que América vuelva a ser lo primero. Donald Trump es el único que va a hacer eso de nuevo, ¡Trump 2024!"

Un montón de celebridades estuvieron presentes, incluyendo a Mark Wahlberg, Jared Leto, Mario López, Theo Von, Jack Black, Kyle Gass y Zac Brown.

Todos vieron cómo Josh Emmett destrozaba a Bryce Mitchell con un puñetazo que sonó como si hubieran golpeado a alguien con un bate de béisbol.

Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis had the most memorable fight of the year at UFC 296 ... thing is, it wasn't in the octagon.

Sean was cage-side for the eventing when Du Plessis, who was sitting behind Sean a few rows, started smack-talking him.

Sean then got out of his seat and pointed his finger at Du Plessis, as if he were firing a shot. Du Plessis was clearly up for some action, telling Sean with his hands to bring it on.

Sean then goes ham, and asks the son of UFC fighter Gilbert Burns to move, which then cleared the path for Sean to jump over a couple rows and start attacking Du Plessis.

This is all the lead-up to what will probably be an epic fight between the 2 guys next month at UFC 297.

They were also at the UFC press conference Friday, where they had to be separated.

Donald Trump showed up to watch one of the most violent knockouts ever in the UFC, but his attention got diverted by a bikini-clad ring girl.

Trump was there to support one of his die-hard fans, UFC fighter Colby Covington, who ended up losing by decision in the main event to Leon Edwards.

Covington, in true Trump fashion, railed on the results, saying it was reminiscent of the "rigged" 2020 election. He then just got political, saying, "You can delay us but you can’t deny us. He’s going to make America great again. We need these borders secure, we need inflation down and we need America first again. Donald Trump is the only one that’s going to do that again — Trump 2024!”

A bunch of celebs were on hand, including Mark Wahlberg, Jared Leto, Mario Lopez, Theo Von, Jack Black, Kyle Gass, and Zac Brown.

They all watched as Josh Emmett destroyed Bryce Mitchell with a punch that sounded like someone got hit with a baseball bat.

Jake Paul made short work of Andre August in a professional boxing match Friday night ... knocking him out in the first round!!

Paul went toe-to-toe with August in the ring at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, but the cruiserweight bout was over just minutes after it began.

Check out the video ...  the boxers dance around the ring trading blows for a bit, yet nothing wildly exciting happens.

That all changes at the 2:32 mark of the first round when Paul throws a powerful right uppercut, clocking August right in the kisser.

August hits the canvas like a sack of potatoes and struggles to get back up to his feet as the referee stops the fight.

Paul celebrates by raising his arm and waving goodbye to August with his gloved hand.

Bill Maher defies most celebrities who straddle the fence and really say nothing when they "speak out" about the Israel-Hamas war ... he has a very strong POV, which involves a heavy dose of reality and reasonable negotiation.

The 'Real Time' host took his audience all the way back to Bethlehem, which is now controlled by the Palestinians. It used to be 86% Christian ... now it's overwhelmingly Muslim. Things change, BM says.

He goes through a litany of countries that became other countries under different control ... things change. A good example is 30 years of carnage in Northern Ireland, which essentially ended with both sides acknowledging a land shift. Things change.

His overarching point ... Israel is going nowhere -- it's staying put, and the chants of "from the river to the sea" he says are pipe dreams not rooted in reality.

Bill seems pretty clear -- negotiating an end to the war without acknowledgment you can't turn the clock back decades is not only unrealistic -- it cuts both ways. So Bill's saying if Hamas doesn't get real and acknowledge there's no negotiation that involves the elimination of Israel, then they're becoming the modern-day Northern Ireland.

Donald Trump's going viral for jabbing President Biden over a couple deaths linked to Panera lemonade ... but someone's putting words in Trump's mouth because it's all bogus.

Here's the deal ... there are a series of screenshots from a recent Trump speech going viral online, and they claim to quote Trump blaming Biden for two deaths linked to a new drink from Panera.

Trump and Biden are easy targets here ... it's not crazy to believe Trump would go after Biden for such a story, but it turns out lots of folks are being duped ... because the quotes are totally fake.

The viral images have made up quotes attributed to Trump, where he's saying ... "Everything is bad under Biden. Even the lemonade is killing people. Did you see that? People drink lemonade and die."

The fake Trump quote is referencing a couple recent deaths linked to Panera's new Charged Lemonade, which is super caffeinated.

Other fake Trump quotes included ... "The lemonade didn't kill you when I was president. It was tasty and fun to drink. We loved the lemonade, didn't we?"

Another falsely quotes as Trump saying ... "We did, but not under Biden. Bacon is more money. Gas is more money. The lemonade is more money and it kills you."

The fourth and final says ... "When life hands you lemons, Joe Biden kills you with them."

The screenshots and fake closed captioning is from Trump's recent speech in Iowa ... but anyone watching the speech will find out there's no mention of lemonade whatsoever.

Un toro se unió a los civiles durante el viaje de la mañana en Nueva Jersey, corriendo por las vías en la estación de Newark Penn y causando algunos problemas para la gente tratando de llegar a sus destinos a tiempo.

El Director de Seguridad Pública de Newark Fritz Fragé le dice TMZ que la policía respondió a Frelinghuysen Avenue cerca de Victoria Street Jueves por la mañana alrededor de las 10:46 AM, luego de ser alertado de que un toro fue visto en el suelto detrás de un edificio.

Los miembros de la Unidad de Servicios de Emergencia de la Policía de Newark ayudaron a Port Authority PD en la localización del toro fugitivo, eventualmente conteniéndolo dentro de un lote cercado.

Nos dicen que el animal será recuperado y salvaguardado por un santuario de animales locales, añadiendo que no se reportaron heridos durante todo el incidente.

Un representante de New Jersey Transit le informó a TMZ que los servicios ferroviarios fueron sometidos a retrasos de 45 minutos entre Newark Penn Station y New York Penn Station a causa del toro suelto.

10:46 AM PT -- New video surfaced showing authorities wrangling the bull back to safety.

A bull joined shocked civilians during the morning commute in New Jersey, bolting down the tracks at Newark Penn Station ... and causing some trouble for folks trying to get to their destinations on time.

Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé tells TMZ that police responded to Frelinghuysen Avenue near Victoria Street Thursday morning around 10:46 AM ... after being alerted that a bull was observed on the loose behind a building.

Members of the Newark Police Emergency Services Unit assisted Port Authority PD in locating the runaway bull ... eventually containing it inside a fenced lot.

They tell us the animal will be retrieved and safeguarded by a local animal sanctuary -- adding that, thankfully, no injuries were reported throughout the incident.

A rep for New Jersey Transit adds to TMZ that rail services were subjected to 45-minute delays between Newark Penn Station & New York Penn Station 'cause of the loose bull.

Though, they grabbed the bull by the horns & are moo-ving things along ... cross-honoring tickets and passes at other stations.

Mark Cuban says if he were in charge of the ball at the center of the Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Pacers tiff ... the Bucks superstar would be disappointed -- 'cause he would've given the memento to Indiana.

The Dallas Mavericks honcho didn't mince words when talking about the topic to TMZ Sports on Thursday ... saying, "if you have a rookie who's never scored before in an NBA game, that's a big deal that only happens once."

"So," he continued, "I'd give the ball to the rookie."

Of course, Giannis felt differently following Milwaukee's 140-126 win over Indiana at the Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night ... going absolutely ballistic when the Pacers wanted to hand the ball off to Oscar Tshiebwe for scoring his first NBA basket instead of to the two-time MVP who had just scored 64 points.

Antetokounmpo ran to the front of the Pacers' locker room to confront them -- before he sprinted back on the court to complain to arena officials about the ball some more.

Eventually, a basketball was given to Giannis ... though he told reporters afterward he wasn't sure if it was actually the one he used to drop a franchise-high mark for points during the game.

Cuban said the home team should ultimately be the one to make the call in the situation -- though he said he'd just have to give it up to the rookie in this instance ... but would still do something nice for Giannis.

"With situations like that," he said, "I'd take the box score, I'd get his teammates to sign it and I'd frame it for him."

He added that if Giannis really wanted the ball -- he recommended bartering with the rookie for it ... perhaps by signing a jersey or even forking over some cash.

In-N-Out Burger -una comida básica de la Costa Oeste- ha abierto oficialmente sus puertas en las colinas de Idaho, pero quienes quisieron ir por su Double-Double tuvieron que esperar hasta 8 malditas horas en su carro el día de la inauguración.

El popular lugar abrió sus puertas el martes en Meridian, un suburbio de Boise, y los lugareños estaban claramente anticipando la locura, pues algunas personas acamparon la noche anterior con un clima de 30 grados.

La línea de drive-thru (autoservicio) era tan larga, que terminó comenzando en un lote de tierra cerca con un cartel que advertía a los clientes que estarían relajándose en sus carros al menos 7-8 horas. ¡Pero miles soportaron la larga espera para conseguir su comida!

Raro. Después de todo, siguen siendo solo hamburguesas, amigos.

De todos modos, muchos clientes fuera de la tienda estaban abrigados con sus gruesos abrigos para mantener el calor. Uno le dijo a IdahoNews6 que habían estado "esperando durante años" para tener en sus manos en un poco de esta maravilla.

In-N-Out Burger -- a West Coast staple -- is officially opened in the hills of Idaho, but folks looking to get a Double-Double had to wait in their car for up to 8 freaking hours on opening day!

The popular grub spot opened its doors on Tuesday in Meridian, a Boise suburb, and the locals were clearly anticipating the rush ... because some people camped out the night before in 30-degree weather.

The drive-thru line for the burger joint was so long, it ended up starting in a nearby dirt lot ... with a sign that warned customers they'd be chilling in their cars for at least 7-8 hours -- but thousands withstood the long wait to get their food.

Weird. They're still just burgers, folks.

Anyway, many customers standing outside stayed bundled up with heavy coats to keep warm ... and one told IdahoNews6 they've been "waiting for years" to get their hands on some Animal-style goodness.
