Antes de alcanzar la fama en Hollywood, Brad Pitt pasaba días enteros sin ducharse, al menos según Jason Priestley, que solía vivir con él.

El ex "90210" reflexionó sobre su breve tiempo viviendo juntos antes de la fama junto con otra persona en una "parte cutre de Los Ángeles". Contando la historia en "Live with Kelly and Mark" el martes.

Jason dice que los roomies con frecuencia jugaban un juego para ver quién de ellos podría estar más tiempo sin bañarse, y resulta que Jason dice que había un ganador constante.

Según él, era Brad quien generalmente ganaba la competencia repugnante, lo que nos deja preguntándonos si todavía se habría convertido en el mayor rompecorazones de Hollywood si la gente hubiera sabido de esto.

Afortunadamente, Jason dice que él no cree que Brad siga con esas costumbres, aunque dice que no puede confirmarlo tampoco.

Por suerte para Jaso, sus días juntos en un pequeño apartamento no duraron mucho, ya que ambos se catapultaron a la fama a principios de los noventa, Jason en "Beverly Hills 90210" y Brad en "Thelma y Louise". Después de eso, el resto es historia.

Es seguro decir, que son cualquier cosa menos actores lavados en estos días ... aunque, suena como BP podría haber necesitado un baño o dos, mientras que él estaba tratando de entrar en el negocio.

Afortunadamente, esos días han quedado atrás y sus carreras han recibido una lluvia de elogios.

Before scrubbing up for his Hollywood fame, Brad Pitt would happily go days without showering -- at least according to Jason Priestley ... who used to live with the dude.

The '90210' alum reflected on their brief time living together pre-fame along with one other person in a "crappy part of L.A." ... telling the tale on "Live with Kelly and Mark" Tuesday.

JP says the roomies would frequently play a game to see who among them could go the longest without bathing. And as it turns out, Jason says there was a consistent winner.

According to him, it was Brad who usually made a clean sweep of the disgusting competition ... which leaves us wondering if he still would've become Hollywood's biggest heartthrob if people caught wind of this alleged stink-fest back then.

Thankfully, Jason says he doesn't think he's into those games anymore, given his flashy A-list status and all -- although he says he can't confirm this definitively.

Luckily for both J&B, their days cramped up together in a small apartment didn't last long as they both catapulted to fame in the early nineties -- Jason in "Beverly Hills, 90210" & Brad in "Thelma and Louise." After that, the rest was history.

Safe to say, they're anything but washed-up actors these days ... although, it sounds like BP might've needed a bath or two while he was trying to break into the biz.

Fortunately, those days are behind them, and their careers have been showered with praise.

Alec Baldwin está buscando vender su mansión en los Hamptons una vez más y esta vez rebajó el precio en más de $10 millones e hizo un video para los potenciales compradores.

El actor acaba de poner a la venta nuevamente su enorme propiedad en Amagansett, Nueva York, por 18.995.000 dólares, lo que significa una fuerte reducción con respecto al precio original de 29 millones de dólares.

La casa de Alec en los Hamptons tiene 10.000 pies cuadrados y 7 dormitorios. La moderna finca está en un lote de 10 acres y dice: "Usted simplemente no puede conseguir más esto por aquí, no se pueden comprar grandes terrenos, especialmente en Amagansett."

El lugar está engalanado con una sala de cine, una sala de cata de vinos y una biblioteca con paneles de madera, además de una piscina exterior y un spa. También tiene varios balcones y porches para disfrutar de la reserva natural circundante.

En su video, Alec habla poéticamente sobre su amor por los Hamptons. Dice que se enamoró desde el momento en que fue allí por primera vez. Dice que solía ir mucho a la playa cercana cuando era más joven y que a veces se quedaba dormido bajo las estrellas.

En realidad, Alec no entra en la casa en su video. Solo está en la propiedad hablando de lo mucho que disfruta los Hamptons e incluso muestra algunas antiguas casas en la zona.

La casa salió por primera vez al mercado en septiembre de 2022, pero nunca se vendió y un año más tarde fue retirada del mercado. Ahora, Alec y compañía están tratando de poner en marcha la venta nuevamente y se puede decir que realmente quieren deshacerse de ella, lo que queda en evidencia con la participación de Alec y la rebaja en el precio.

Alec Baldwin is once again looking to unload his mansion in the Hamptons ... and this time, he's slashed the price over $10 million and made a video pitch for potential buyers.

The actor just relisted his massive estate in Amagansett, NY, for $18,995,000 ... which is a heavy reduction from the original $29 million price tag.

Alec's longtime Hamptons home is 10,000 square feet with 7 bedrooms ... the modern farmhouse is on a 10-acre lot and he says, "You just can't get this out here anymore, you can't buy big pieces of land, especially in Amagansett."

The place is decked out with a movie theater, wine tasting room and wood-paneled library, plus an outdoor pool and spa. It's also got several balconies and screened-in porches to enjoy the surrounding nature preserve.

In his pitch video, Alec waxes poetically about his love for the Hamptons ... he says he fell in love the moment he first went there, and says he used to go out to the nearby beach a lot when he was younger, sometimes falling asleep under the stars.

Alec doesn't actually go inside the home in his video, he's just on the property talking about how much he enjoys the Hamptons ... and he even shows some of his old homes in the area.

The house first went on the market in September 2022 but it never sold and a year later it was taken off the market. Now, AB and co. are trying to get it going again -- and you can tell ... they really wanna unload this thing, evidenced in Alec's involvement and the price slash.

The viral video of a tall "alien" on a hill in Brazil may have already been debunked ... according to an international basketball star who's claiming to be the subject in the clip.

Italian athlete Felipe Motta, who plays for Brazil's Flamengo club, posted online about the confusing clip after it made the rounds -- but as others thought the lanky being was from a different planet, he says the clip shows him on a hike on the island of Ilha do Mel.

He says he was on a trail and enjoying the sweet view when the video was taken from a low angle, and everyone went crazy over it ... which, believe it or not, isn't new for him.

Felipe claims his 6-foot-5-inch height is something that folks have always poked fun at -- and he showed off all tall guy struggles he deals with on the daily ... but jokingly admits he'll warn people the next time he decides to take a hike.

As we reported, locals claimed they saw at least 2 figures up on the hill ... with the woman who filmed the video saying it's impossible for a human to get up there.

The Brazilian government posted about the viral video, but appeared to play it off as a hoax as a way to get folks to come visit the island ... but Felipe is looking to put the theories about it to rest.

El video viral de un "alienígena" en una colina de Brasil podría estar siendo descartado, o al menos eso piensa una estrella de baloncesto internacional que afirma ser el sujeto en el clip.

El atleta italiano Felipe Motta, que juega para el club Flamengo de Brasil, habló sobre el confuso clip en un post, y aunque algunos pensaban que el ser larguirucho era de otro planeta, él dice que en realidad era él caminando en la isla de Ilha do Mel.

Dice que estaba en un sendero, disfrutando de la vista, cuando el video fue captado desde abajo y todo el mundo se volvió loco, y lo creas o no, esto no es nuevo para él.

Felipe afirma que su altura de 6 pies y 5 pulgadas siempre ha causado gracia en la gente, incluso burlas, y compartió algunas de las luchas que enfrenta diariamente por eso. Aunque en broma dijo que va a advertirle a las personas cuando decida tomar una caminata.

Como informamos, los lugareños afirmaron que vieron al menos dos figuras en la colina, y la mujer que filmó el video dijo que era imposible que un ser humano llegara hasta allí.

El gobierno brasileño publicó sobre el viral, aunque insinuó que era más bien un engaño para que la gente fuera a la isla. Ahora Felipe está intentando poner fin a las teorías.

More mysterious video of what appears to be super tall human-like beings walking among us ... and this time, folks are claiming there are 10-foot tall "aliens" down in Brazil.

Ya gotta see these videos from Ilha do Mel, an island off the coast of Brazil ... where locals claim they saw at least two tall and mysterious figures standing on a hilltop. It's hard to gauge how far away these clips were shot from -- but whatever's out there sure looks big.

The so-called "aliens" here in the videos seem to be surveying the land below from up on the hill ... moving around, gesturing and seemingly walking through the landscape.

It's pretty crazy ... the woman who took the video says it's pretty much impossible for humans to reach the part of the hill where the "creatures" are ... and she says the beings are way bigger than people. At one point, you start to see them on the move -- walking around!

The sighting comes only days after an incident in Miami ... where conspiracy theorists claim video shows a tall "gray creature" walking through an outdoor mall in the middle of a massive police response.

As we first told you, cops in Miami said that video doesn't show a creature but rather a human shadow ... and the cops were responding to a huge fight.

The Brazilian government is going a different route to brush this incident off ... posting on social media, "Surreaaaaaaal what happened on Ilha do Mel!!! Verão Maior Paraná is another story and even 'strange beings' came to check it out. 😱 And you, will you be left out? 🤔"

In other words, they're trying to play this off as a hoax ... or not what people think it is.

Eye of the beholder, we suppose -- we'll say this though ... these sightings are becoming more frequent. And at some point, someone might get something on camera that's impossible to deny as much ado about nothing. Until then, here are more breadcrumbs for the unknown.

9:58 AM PT -- NYC Mayor Adams' 'Rat Czar' Kathleen Corradi tells TMZ ... "Mayor Adams declared war on rats when he took office, and under this administration, we are winning that war day by day. Rat sighting complaints are down 7 percent citywide since May and down 20 percent in 2023 in rat mitigation zones, where we are deploying targeted and effective rat reduction strategies."

She adds, "We’re employing a whole-of-government approach which includes the Sanitation Department’s ambitious, paradigm-changing plans to containerize all garbage in New York City and bring free, no-hassle, curbside composting to all 8.3 million New Yorkers by this fall. The Adams administration will continue this fight until we can definitively declare victory"

Move over Pizza Rat -- there's a new video of New York City rodents running the streets ... and this time it all has to do with a fellow subway bedfellow ... of the human variety.

Check out this wild video from a Big Apple subway station that was posted this week ... you can see commuters walk over to a homeless person sleeping under a blanket, and dozens of rats scurry out from under the covers.

It starts with a few rats running away as subway riders approach, then a massive stampede follows ... with the rodents scurrying down onto the train tracks. It all happens in a matter of seconds.

The sheer number of rats seemingly sleeping with this homeless person -- cozying up under the blanket, no less -- is shocking. We're talking about at least a dozen of the mouse-y monsters here, if not more.

Looks like New York City's new "Rat Czar" Kathleen Corradi has her work cut out for her.

We've seen rats dragging pizza slices, fighting over pizza and attacking pigeons over the years in NYC ... and this video is right up there in the NYC Rat Hall of Fame.

One last thing ... the video doesn't show the homeless person under the blanket or who pulls the blanket up, leaving some folks to wonder if this was all staged. It does all play out a little too perfectly, and like we said ... there's a lot you don't see in the viral clip.

Anyway ... talk about a rat pack, huh?

A massive secret tunnel was discovered under a historic Jewish synagogue in NYC -- and when the authorities tried to shut it down ... sheer chaos ensued from the guys using it.

Wild footage is circulating online showing a frenetic scene Monday at the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn's Crown Heights -- serving as the meeting location and place of worship for Orthodox Jews in that area ... and it all has to do with this hidden passage.

Long story short ... this underground enclosure leading into the synagogue was stumbled upon last month by civilians who reported hearing weird noises under their homes.

There's reports that a select group from this synagogue were using the tunnel to access a shuttered women's bathing area ... plus other areas in and around Brooklyn, it seems.

Anyway, leadership from this synagogue decided to shut this whole thing down -- bringing in construction crews to seal up the tunnel with cement ... but apparently, the fellas who'd been using were outraged and started rioting within their own holy institution, and cops came out.

That's where all these clips come in -- showing the Jewish clashing with cops, overturning furniture and seemingly trying to hunker down in their tunnel to avoid it being closed up.

At some point, someone went down into the tunnel itself and recorded a little walk-through -- and you can see these fellas made themselves at home ... draping their clothes all about.

The "alien creature" conspiracy theorists on Twitter are running wild after a video appears to show an out-of-this-world figure walking near cop cars during an emergency response ... and we now have some answers as to what really went down.

Here's the deal ... a growing conspiracy theory online suggests the massive police response on New Year's Day in Miami isn't what it seems. Folks are pointing to one specific piece of footage they say shows a strange figure moving near police cars.

The person who posted the video says he zoomed in on some TikTok videos and claims he found a "gray creature."

However, spokesperson for Miami PD tells TMZ … "What is seen on this clip is the shadow of someone walking. If you look at the bottom of the shadow, you can see the person. No creature."

So that's that ... and as for how the whole thing started, folks thought the sheer number of police cars at the scene seemed to be way more than necessary. Cops were called to the shopping mall over a group of teens fighting, launching fireworks and causing chaos at the mall ... but there's reports some thought the fireworks was gunfire, which likely triggered the massive police response.

Los aficionados a las teorías conspirativas de "criaturas extraterrestres" se están volviendo locos en las redes después de ver un video que parece mostrar una figura fuera de este mundo caminando cerca de los carros de policía durante un operativo de emergencia ... y ahora tenemos algunas respuestas en cuanto a lo que realmente pasó.

Este es el asunto. Una creciente teoría conspirativa en las redes sugiere que este operativo policial en Miami, realizado el día de Año Nuevo, no es lo que parece, y las personas están apuntando a un registro en particular, que dicen que muestra a una extraña figura en movimiento cerca de los carros de policía.

La persona que publicó el video dice que hizo Zoom en algunos videos de TikTok y encontró una "criatura gris".

Sin embargo, el portavoz de la policía de Miami le dice a TMZ: "Lo que se ve en este clip es la sombra de alguien caminando. Si nos fijamos en la parte inferior de la sombra, se puede ver a la persona. No hay criatura".

Así que eso es todo, y en cuanto a cómo empezó este rumor, la gente pensó que la gran cantidad de carros de policía en la escena era mucho más de lo necesario. Los policías fueron llamados al centro comercial por un grupo de adolescentes que estaba peleando, lanzando fuegos artificiales y causando el caos en el centro comercial. Pero hay informes de que algunos pensaron que los fuegos artificiales eran disparos, lo que probablemente desencadenó la respuesta masiva de la policía.

A Sephora customer has untangled a mysterious web ... why spiders can't get enough of their body butter.

A review on Sephora's site for Sol De Janeiro Body Butter set the internet wild, warning folks who are scared of wolf spiders not to butter their bodies, claiming the product is a magnet for the pesky insects.

The customer claims the bugs have appeared every day since using the lotion, adding, "one time, the spider wanted to eat whatever ingredient it is so bad that it chased me. I swear on everything. I'd run left, it ran left."

The bizarre review spun quite the web on the web, with a deep dive on Reddit ... where someone discovered a combination of farnesyl acetate and hexadecyl acetate often attracts male spiders.

The 2 chemicals are often used in skincare products, including body butter and lotion ... although it's not entirely clear if these are included in Sephora's product.

Una clienta de Sephora ha revelado una característica muy peculiar de un producto.

Una reseña de la manteca corporal Sol de Janeiro en la página web de Sephora ha desatado la locura en Internet, advirtiéndole a las personas que temen a las arañas lobo que no se unten el cuerpo con manteca, alegando que el producto atrae a los molestos arácnidos.

La clienta afirma que los bichos han aparecido todos los días desde que usa la loción, y añade: "Una vez, la araña quería comerse el ingrediente que fuera, tanto que me persiguió. Lo juro por todo. Yo corría a la izquierda, ella corría a la izquierda".

La extraña reseña dio bastante que hablar, con una inmersión profunda en Reddit... donde alguien descubrió que una combinación de acetato de farnesilo y acetato de hexadecilo suele atraer a las arañas macho.

Los 2 productos químicos se utilizan a menudo en productos de cuidado de la piel, incluyendo manteca corporal y loción ... aunque no está del todo claro si estos se incluyen en el producto de Sephora.

Kim Kardashian tiene su médula oblonga representada en tercera dimensión, porque recibió un regalo inusual, una réplica de tamaño natural de su fideo.

La estrella de la realidad publicó un par de videos durante el fin de semana mostrando este regalo de Navidad que ella dice que recibió de una empresa llamada Prenuvo, que hace escáneres de cuerpo completo, y que recibió a Kim y algunos otros miembros de la familia para hacerse exámenes de rutina.

Parece que usaron las imágenes que obtuvieron de su cerebro y le enviaron un modelo 3D para las fiestas. Kim está bastante impresionada con el gesto.

Kim trabajó con Prenuvo a principios de año y animó a la gente a hacerse el escáner con la empresa, señalando que podría detectar algo que normalmente no se detecta. El único problema, para algunos, es que es caro, alrededor de $2.500 por exploración.

Puede que no sea algo que todo el mundo pueda permitirse, pero Kim parece estar agradecida de habérselo hecho.

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.

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."
