You Might Want to Rethink

Selena Gomez has been branded a "coward" by a Jewish organization ... after embroiling herself in controversy over the Israel-Hamas war.

Speaking to TMZ, Mitchell Bard for the Jewish organization American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) lambasted Selena for falling victim to the intense pressure put on celebs to boycott and demonize Israel.

He tells us instead of speaking on the massacre of 1,400 Israelis and the taking of 240 hostages, including the elderly, disabled, women and children as young as 9 months ... Selena's priority lies with her business, which was threatened after the Rare Beauty's CEO followed pro-Israel accounts.

The org also details its disappointment over her choosing to "pacify bullies" hoping to boycott Rare Beauty by "taking the popular position that Palestinians who have been sacrificed by Hamas are the victims" ... with a pro-Palestine-leaning statement shared to RB's IG.

In stark contrast ... the very same IG post delights Alia Malak, a founding member of the Palestinian organization, Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), who tells TMZ, "Selena Gomez is one of many thousands of artists and cultural figures worldwide calling for ceasefire, justice and accountability, joining Hollywood figures, leading Black scholars and artists, Jewish writers and artists, prominent authors, visual artists, and many others."

They add, "When UN experts and others are warning of an Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, these artists are on the right side of history. Palestinians call on artists and arts organizations to speak out loudly for a ceasefire, and for an end to oppression, as many had done against apartheid South Africa, to contribute to freedom, justice, and equality."

This comes after Rare Beauty's statement on IG acknowledged the slaughter of 1,400 Israelis ... saying that attacks on civilians are wrong ... but alluding their main concern was "protecting Palestine civilians."

7:55 PM PT -- Michigan and Jim Harbaugh aren't going down without a fight ... U of M has asked a court in Washtenaw County to grant a temporary restraining order that would block the Big Ten's suspension of the head coach.

The TRO would put Harbaugh's three-game regular season ban on hold until the matter could go before a judge.

While the restraining order hasn't yet been granted, the man who will ultimately decide what happens with Harbaugh -- whether he coaches in Saturday's pivotal football game against Penn State -- is a judge who happened to graduate from the University of Michigan in the 90s.

1:36 PM PT -- Univ. of Michigan officials just ripped the conference's ruling in a scathing statement ... writing, in part, "We are dismayed at the Commissioner's rush to judgment when there is an ongoing NCAA investigation -- one of in which we are fully cooperating."

"By taking this action at this hour," they added, "the Commissioner is personally inserting himself onto the sidelines and altering the level playing field that he is claiming to preserve. And, doing so on Veteran's Day -- a court holiday -- to try to thwart the University from seeking immediate judicial relief is hardly a profile in impartiality. To ensure fairness in the process, we intend to seek a court order, together with Coach Harbaugh, preventing this disciplinary action from taking effect."

The Big Ten has just suspended Jim Harbaugh for the rest of the regular season ... after it says the Michigan football team was involved in an intricate sign-stealing scheme that violated rules.

The conference announced Harbaugh will still be allowed to coach his team during weekdays while serving his suspension ... but on the Wolverines' three remaining gamedays this year, he must not be present.

Of course, it's a big deal for UM, considering two of those three contests are against No. 10 Penn State and No. 1 Ohio State.

Michigan, however, is reportedly expected to seek legal action now that could allow Harbaugh to still be able to coach his team during Saturday's game against the Nittany Lions.

The scandal surrounding Harbaugh and the Wolverines all began after team staffer Connor Stalions was accused of purchasing tickets to Big Ten games over the past three years with the intent of trying to decipher Michigan opponents' sideline signals.

In announcing its punishment for Harbaugh on Friday ... the Big Ten said it found at least some level of validity to the claims -- writing that Michigan gained "an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition" over it all.

This is not the first time Harbaugh has been in hot water this season ... he was also banned from the team's first three games over alleged transgressions during the COVID dead period.

Michigan is currently 9-0 despite all of the drama ... and ranked No. 3 in the nation.

Jim Jones got highly emotional responding to Dee-1's recent criticisms about his music ... even hinting he'd take things to the ring if needed.

The Byrd Gang leader appeared on Sway's Universe Friday -- the same platform Dee used to voice his gripes over the murderous themes in the music of Jim, Rick Ross and Meek Mill.

Similar to Rozay's response, Jim opted to focus on his years of philanthropy and his fellow posse vouched for his efforts.

He also defended the content of his music ... declaring it to be rough because of the environment he was raised in but maintained his music always contains spiritual elements ... his first album was named "On My Way To Church" y'know.

Jim said he was really peeved over Dee using his name for fame and the New Orleans rapper should've contacted him offline if he really wanted to have a conversation ... but that window passed.

He denied promoting violence ... but warned Dee should keep his hand down when he sees him because he's seen shirts get wrinkled for less!!!

Sway assured Jim that Dee isn't on a clout-chasing mission but the Harlem boss wasn't convinced and said he was done talking about Dee, so that's that.

Revered producer 9th Wonder eventually entered the chat to defend Dee-1 on all his stances -- when it comes to children.

A McDonald's customer completely lost his s**t and went on a wild rampage, trashing one of the chain restaurants in Maryland from a drive-thru window.

The bizarre incident was captured on video and posted to TikTok, showing the furious man standing outside his vehicle at the fast food joint in White Marsh, which is about 16 miles south of Baltimore. The patron is clearly hungry and unhappy with the service he's getting.

Check out the clip ... the man reaches in through the drive-up window and grabs several drink cups and tosses them while screaming, "Shut it down right now" and "Give me some food!"

He starts pointing at the employees -- who are off-screen but shrieking in terror. Then he pushes a metal storage shelf lined with electronics and other items, watching it all come crashing down.

But he doesn't stop there ... the maniac continues to yell that he wants food, violently shaking the fallen shelf while demanding two bags of French fries in his view.

One of the workers hands him the bags of food, but the guy is still not satisfied and shouts some more until he finally slams the drive-through window shut and walks off.

During his tirade, the man also used some foul language, calling the staff a "b***h" and other names.

We've reached out to the Baltimore County Police Department to see if they're investigating ... so far no word back.

Un cliente de McDonald's perdió completamente la cabeza y se puso a destrozar un restaurante de la cadena en Maryland.

El extraño incidente fue capturado en video y publicado en TikTok, y muestra al hombre furioso en el local de comida rápida en White Marsh, a unos 16 kilómetros al sur de Baltimore, hambriento y claramente descontento con el servicio que está recibiendo.

Echa un vistazo al clip, en él se ve al hombre acercándose a la ventana de autoservicio y luego agarrando varios vasos de bebida y arrojándolos hacia el interior mientras grita: "Apágalo ahora mismo" y "¡Dame algo de comida!".

Después empieza a señalar a los empleados, que no se ven en pantalla pero se los escucha gritar aterrorizados. A continuación, empuja un estante de almacenamiento de metal forrado con aparatos electrónicos y otros artículos y todo se derrumba.

Pero no se detiene ahí, el loco continúa gritando que quiere comida, sacude violentamente el estante que se había caído mientras exige dos bolsas de patatas fritas a la vista.

Uno de los trabajadores le entrega lo que pide, pero el tipo sigue sin calmarse y grita más hasta que finalmente cierra de golpe la ventanilla del autoservicio y se va.

Durante su diatriba, el extraño hombre también utilizó un lenguaje grosero, llamando al personal "b***h" y otros nombres.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el Departamento de Policía del Condado de Baltimore para ver si están investigando, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

The Atlanta Hawks' idea of running an "OnlyFans" style promo with their mascot this week isn't sitting well with at least two of their players ... who took to social media on Thursday to hilariously drag the team over the vid.

The clip was dropped by the NBA org on its social media pages early Thursday morning to promote ATL's involvement in the league's new in-season tournament.

It featured Harry the Hawk seductively posing on a bed in his ATL gear ... while a woman whispered about Atlanta fans "knowing where the real action is."

"Hawks fans know just where to get it," the woman said in the video. "Join in and wake up your wild side."

Some found the footage funny -- but others, including Atlanta stars Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, didn't exactly love it.

"MANNNNNNN," Murray wrote on his X page while sharing the video, "DELETE THIS S***!!!!!!!'

Added Young, "I had no part of this.. 🤦‍♂️."

Victor Wembanyama got the opposite of a warm welcome in his first game at Madison Square Garden ... 'cause a bunch of ruthless Knicks fans made it clear they're not believing the hype surrounding the hoops phenom -- chanting "overrated" in the middle of the game!!

Of course, the San Antonio Spurs' No. 1 overall pick ruffled some feathers with the home crowd prior to Wednesday's matchup with New York ... when he said the Mecca wasn't as big as he expected.

Knickerbocker backers promised to give the 19-year-old hell as a result of his comments ... and they held true to their word throughout the contest -- booing and heckling the 7'4" hooper every chance they got.

Their efforts may have worked ... 'cause Wemby didn't have his best outing -- going 4-14 from the field en route to 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and a block.

Some people on social media weren't too pleased with the Knicks fans' antics -- saying it's wild to make such a claim eight games into his career ... especially when he's had some amazing performances in the Association so far.

Más fuegos artificiales entre Vivek y Nikki, esto después de que Vivek atacara a su familia sobre el modo en que usan TikTok, lo que provocó que ella le dijera que mantuviera los nombres de sus hijas alejados de su boca.

Las palabras de Will Smith siguen vivas....

Vivek Ramaswamy salió golpeando en el tercer debate republicano de esta semana, pero no fue tanto a sus rivales políticos sino a los moderadores.

El candidato del Partido Republicano, amigo de la polarización, fue a la ofensiva este miércoles en Miami, después de que uno de los moderadores de la NBC, Lester Holt, le preguntara por qué pensaba que debería ser el candidato republicano en lugar de Donald Trump, el que sigue liderando la carrera por mucho.

En lugar de responder la pregunta directamente, el candidato empezó a despotricar en contra del partido en general, después de algunas duras pérdidas en las elecciones nacionales del martes, y calificó al Partido Republicano de "perdedores."

Culpó a su presidenta, Ronna McDaniel por eso y luego se centró en Lester, Hugh Hewitt y Kristen Welker, todos quienes estaban moderando. Les dijo que no merecían estar moderando esto el encuentro y que Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan y Elon Musk sí.

Yendo a los que nos importa, Vivek ha estado muy cercano a Tucker últimamente y parece ser un fan de Joe Rogan y Elon Musk. Lester terminó cortando la brevísima intervención de Vivek, que quedó claro que fue solo incendiaria.

Finalmente, Vivek fue tras los otros candidatos, incluyendo un golpe a Nikki Haley, a quien caracterizó como un neo-con Dick Cheney-esque en "tacones de 3 pulgadas".

Golpe bajo, sin duda.

6:08 PM PT -- More fireworks between Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley ... this after he attacked her family over their use of TikTok, which spurred her to tell him to keep her daughters' names out of his mouth.

Will Smith's words live on ...

Vivek Ramaswamy came out swinging at the third Republican debate this week -- but it wasn't so much at his political rivals ... instead, he took aim at the moderators.

The polarizing GOP candidate went on the offensive right out the gate Wednesday in Miami ... this after one of the NBC moderators, Lester Holt, asked why he thought he should be the Republican nominee instead of Donald Trump ... who's still leading the pack by a lot.

Instead of answering the question directly, VR went on a rant bashing the party at large -- this after some tough losses in national elections Tuesday -- and called the GOP "losers."

He blamed the GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel for that, but then turned his focus on Lester, Hugh Hewitt and Kristen Welker -- all of whom were moderating ... saying they didn't deserve to be moderating this ... and that Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk did.

FWIW ... Vivek's done a lot of sit-downs with Tucker lately -- and he seems to be a fan of JR and EM, too. Lester ended up cutting him short once it became clear he was just bashing.

Vivek did eventually go after the other candidates, though ... including a shot at Nikki Haley -- whom he characterized as a Dick Cheney-esque neo-con in "3-inch heels." Low blow, indeed.

Adam22 and Lena the Plug are satisfying their needs by starting a new reality show ... where the winner gets to hop in the sack with the newlyweds ... TMZ has learned.

"For the Love of Lena" will see 10 men compete for the grand prize, or prizes ... as the case is here. Some of the contestants include TikToker Cripmac, tap-dancing virgin Cherdley, male porn star John Legendary -- who's known for banging other men's wives -- and "dreamboat" Thugger.

Expect some stiff competition when the show launches Monday on YouTube -- but the eventual champ's threesome with Lena and Adam -- their first male-male-female -- will be on OnlyFans. Sorry, no freebies for the steamy, and very adult, finale.

Adam and Lena are no strangers to making headlines for their unconventional marriage -- you'll recall he became the butt of jokes earlier this year when he fully consented to male porn star Jason Luv sleeping with his wife.

Lena passionately defended his honor, telling us it was a double standard because they had hundreds of threesomes with other women and no one took issue with that.

If you didn't know, the couple's been doing their successful "Plug Talk Podcast" for years ... where they interview a random woman before hooking up with her. Now, they're on to bigger things, leveling the playing field with the reality competition.

Adam22 y Lena the Plug están satisfaciendo sus necesidades mediante el inicio de un nuevo reality show donde el ganador se mete en la cama con unos recién casados, TMZ ha indagado.

"Por el amor de Lena" mostrará a 10 hombres compitiendo por el gran premio, o premios más bien. Algunos de los concursantes incluyen a la TikToker Cripmac, el bailarín de tap virgen Cherdley, a la estrella porno masculina John Legendary —que es conocido por acostarse con las esposas de otros hombres— y "dreamboat" Thugger.

Se espera una dura competencia cuando el programa se lance el lunes en YouTube, pero el trío del eventual campeón con Lena y Adam, su primer hombre-mujer-mujer, se emitirá en OnlyFans. Lo sentimos, pero no hay regalos para la tórrida y muy adulta final.

Adam y Lena no son ajenos a los titulares por su matrimonio poco convencional, recordarás que él se convirtió en el blanco de las bromas a principios de este año cuando consintió plenamente que la estrella porno masculina Jason Luv se acostara con su esposa.

Lena defendió apasionadamente su honor, diciéndonos que se trataba de una doble moral, porque habían hecho cientos de tríos con otras mujeres y nadie se había opuesto a ello.

La decisión de "Los Simpson" de evitar que Homero estrangulara a su hijo Bart puede haber dividido a algunos fans de la serie... pero hay al menos una organización de prevención del maltrato infantil que está encantada.

La Dra. Melissa Merrick, CEO y Presidente de Prevent Child Abuse America, dice a TMZ que la decisión de la comedia de animación de reajustar sus prácticas internas después de 35 años en el aire demostrará representaciones responsables de la crianza positiva de los niños para millones de espectadores.

Merrick dice que su organización ha estado trabajando durante décadas para hacer cambios sustanciales en la forma en que hablamos, crear políticas y participar con grandes influyentes para ayudar a hacer un impacto en este tema y PCAA ha aprendido que se necesita todo tipo de socios: investigadores, medios de comunicación, otras organizaciones sin fines de lucro y particulares para detener el abuso ANTES de que comience.

Aplaudiendo a los creadores de la serie por reconocer su influencia en el cambio de la narrativa en torno al abuso, Merrick añade que establecen un poderoso ejemplo para otros en el entretenimiento y espera que otros en Hollywood tomen medidas para crear conciencia sobre el grave problema.

"Hace que me gusten aún más Los Simpson", añade.

Como ya informamos, en el tercer episodio de la temporada 35, titulado "McMansion & Wife", HS declaró que no volvería a asfixiar a su hijo de dibujos animados mientras conocía a su nuevo vecino.

A lo largo de la serie, Homero ha estrangulado a Bart en varias ocasiones y en uno de los episodios fue a terapia y se dio cuenta del daño que estaba causando al atacar a su hijo.

"The Simpsons" decision to stop Homer from strangling his son, Bart, may have divided some show fans ... but there's at least one child abuse prevention org that's thrilled.

Dr. Melissa Merrick, CEO and President of Prevent Child Abuse America, tells TMZ the animated comedy's decision to reset its internal practices after 35 years on-air will demonstrate responsible depictions of positive childrearing for millions of viewers.

Merrick says her organization has been working for decades to make substantial changes in how we talk about, create policy around and engage big influencers to help make an impact on this issue ... and PCAA has learned that it takes all kinds of partners – researchers, media, other nonprofits and individuals – to stop abuse BEFORE it starts

Applauding the show's creators for acknowledging their influence in changing the narrative around abuse, Merrick adds they set a powerful example for others in entertainment ... and hopes others in Hollywood will take steps to create awareness on the serious issue.

"It makes me like the Simpsons even more," she adds.

As we reported, in the 3rd episode of Season 35, titled "McMansion & Wife," HS declared he would not be choking his cartoon son anymore while meeting his new neighbor.

During the show's run, Homer has choked Bart on and off, with one episode seeing him go to therapy and learn about the harm he was causing by attacking his son.

Victor Wembanyama better prepare for the most hostile environment when he takes the court for his debut at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday ... 'cause the NBA star just pissed off the entire Knicks fanbase for downplaying the iconic venue.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft was speaking to reporters ahead of the Spurs' matchup against New York ... when he was asked about playing in the Mecca for the first time.

The 19-year-old certainly seemed unenthused with his response ... saying, "It’s not as big as I expected, but still the vibe is here."

Wemby's remark was shared all over social media ... and of course, the Knicks fans didn't take it well.

"He gone learn todayyyyyy 😂😂😂😂!" one Knicks fan said on Instagram ... while another hilariously added, "Oh I'll show you big, Mr. Wobblymama."

"That’s cause you big as hell ... don’t disrespect the Garden," a Knicks backer echoed. "You see how we treat Trae Young when he come here 😂😂."

Of course, that user is referring to the hell Knicks fans put the Atlanta Hawks star through over the years -- chanting "f*** Trae Young" and more ever since he became the current villain for the entire organization.

Knicks fans AND players are prepared for Wemby ... especially Mitchell Robinson, who said earlier this week he knows how to handle a 7'4" guy like Victor.

"I'm not really worried about the tallness s***," the 7-foot center said. "Just go out there and play hard."

And Mitch knows he can count on Knicks fans to be loud as hell during tonight's game after Wemby's "diss."

FYI -- MSG seats 19,500 people ... and yeah, it's gonna sound like that in a few hours.

Internet está en un frenesí en este momento sobre lo que parece ser una nueva noticia sobre "Shrek". Un interno accidentalmente filtró la fecha de lanzamiento de la quinta película.

Esta la cosa, "Shrek 5" es tendencia, y todo por una captura de pantalla de un supuesto curriculum vitae de LinkedIn de una joven que recientemente trabajó en NBCUniversal, que ahora es la empresa matriz de DreamWorks, el estudio de animación famoso detrás de la película.

Suponiendo que esta captura de pantalla es legítima, ciertamente parece ser un error por parte de esta pobre chica, ya que está exagerando el hecho de que trabajó en "Shrek 5" este año. Ella dice que el estreno está programado para salir en 2025.

En cuanto a lo que ella dice que estaba haciendo en relación con la película... trabajo en productos de consumo, es decir, averiguando la manera de meter sutilmente las marcas en la película para hacer que los espectadores quieran comprar.

Desde que esto se publicó y fue ampliamente compartido, el perfil de la chica ha sido modificado, con la mención "Shrek" borrada. NBCU aún no ha anunciado oficialmente "Shrek 5", pero sí que lo ha insinuado en las últimas películas relacionadas con Shrek.

Obviamente, hay una ENORME base de fans de "Shrek" y la gente ha estado esperando durante mucho tiempo la próxima entrega, esto luego de que las dos últimas no tuvieran el éxito esperado.

NBCU no ha comentado nada sobre la supuesta filtración, pero la gente ya lo da por hecho y creen que se anunciará pronto ya que "puede" que ya se sepa.

Por cierto, hablando de "Shrek", han aparecido otras noticias relacionadas, como la de Rita Ora vistiéndose como la princesa Fiona (versión ogro) y visitando la nueva casa del pantano de Shrek que AirBnB ha promocionado recientemente. Ella estuvo en el célebre pantano este fin de semana y parecía impresionante.

The Internet is in a frenzy right now over what looks like big 'Shrek' news -- the apparent leaking of the release date for the 5th movie ... courtesy of an intern, of all people.

Here's the deal ... "Shrek 5" is trending, and it all has to do with a screengrab of an alleged LinkedIn resume from a young woman who claims to have recently worked at NBCUniversal -- the parent company of the green guy's studio, DreamWorks.

If the screenshot is legit, the woman made a big blunder ... because she's hyping the fact she worked on 'Shrek 5' this year, which she says is set to come out in 2025.

As far as what she says she was doing on the film -- she says consumer product work ... aka, figuring out how to subtly shove brands into the movie, or product integration, if you will.

Since it was posted and widely shared ... the woman's profile's been tweaked, with the 'Shrek' mention scrubbed. NBCU hasn't officially announced a 'Shrek 5' just yet, but has certainly teased it in recent 'Shrek'-adjacent films.

Obviously, there's a HUGE fanbase for 'Shrek' ... and folks have long been waiting for the next installment -- even though the last 2 had less than great reception.

NBCU hasn't commented on the purported leak ... but some people think this will force an official announcement to come soon.

BTW, speaking of 'Shrek' ... there were some other related updates that surfaced, including Rita Ora dressing up as Princess Fiona (ogre version) and cruising the new Shrek swamp house that AirBnB was plugging recently. She did a weekend stay, and it looked awesome.
