You Might Want to Rethink

Dave Chappelle's responding to Katt Williams' viral Club Shay Shay interview ... and he's pissed about who KW went and fired at.

The controversial actor/comedian did a stand-up set at MonDeRays at the Hollywood Improv Friday night where he shared his disappointment with Katt -- particularly outraged that his fellow comedian exclusively went after Black comedians.

DC said, "He ethered n*****. He didn't say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys function like that." Basically, Dave seems to be saying he's not seeing white comedians rake each other over the coals ... but Katt went after a whole lotta Black artists.

Chappelle added that "hurt people hurt people," but acknowledged he, himself, is also a hurt person ... and you don't see him throwing shade at his fellow comics.

He did defend a couple of Katt's targets -- specifically Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey -- though both guys caught a couple strays in his defense.

CTE got it worse ... Chappelle said going after Cedric -- who Katt said was stealing jokes -- makes no sense because he's "old" and "fat" ... ya gotta think Cedric might be throwing a bit of side-eye at Dave for those adjectives.

As for SH, Dave said he shouldn't draw any ire because he's out of the stand-up game at this point -- focusing more on hosting TV shows like "Family Feud" and "Judge Steve Harvey."

Chappelle added his impersonation of Katt too -- full of profanity and a high-pitched voice -- before pointing out KW never really copped to anything he did ... instead choosing to focus on what other comedians did to one another.

Another big moment ... Dave rejected the claim what Katt did was good for comedy -- an argument comedian Deray Davis tried to make onstage -- saying quite simply that he put a special out the same day as the interview ... and it did fine.

If you haven't heard Williams' comments by now ... damn, there were a lot! He went after Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy and a crap ton more -- some have responded to Katt while others have stayed quiet.

El número de comedia de Natasha Leggero se convirtió en un strip tease desnuda en el Hollywood Improv la semana pasada después de que se quitara la ropa y le mostrara sus tetas a la multitud.

Según Leggero y un video impactante obtenido por TMZ, así es como fue el espectáculo.

Natasha subió al escenario del Improv el miércoles por la noche después de que el cómico Bert Kreischer arrasara con su primera actuación de la noche, la cual que incluía arrancarse la camisa y contar chistes desnudo de cintura para arriba. Al público le encantó.

Así que a Leggero se le ocurrió la idea de copiar la actuación de Bert con el torso desnudo, ya que era un número muy difícil de seguir. Lo dijo así: "Si los chicos pueden hacerlo, ¿por qué no las chicas?". Buena observación, Natasha.

Pero Leggero mantuvo su plan en secreto porque quería seguir su instinto y no quería que nadie intentara disuadirla.

Después de que su amigo Bert triunfó en el escenario por segunda vez, presentó a Natasha para la siguiente vuelta, mientras desfilaba con la camiseta puesta.

Ahora, aquí es donde las cosas se pusieron realmente interesantes, ya que la cámara se encendió y comenzó a grabar.

Échale un vistazo, Natasha está haciendo un baile sexy delante de todos ya que son completamente ajenos a lo que está a punto de suceder. Primero se quita la chaqueta, luego los tirantes del mono y después la camiseta, dejando completamente al descubierto sus pechos desnudos.

Todo el lugar se vuelve loco, especialmente los tíos del público. De hecho, uno de ellos grita: "¡Santo cielo!".

Leggero se echa hacia atrás la chaqueta para cubrirse las tetas antes de sumergirse en su número cómico mientras el clip se corta.

El divertido show de Natasha fue parte del evento Comedy Rocks de Skyler Stone en el Improv, que también contó con varios otros comediantes de primera como David Spade y Tiffany Haddish.

Natasha Leggero's comedy act turned into a naked strip tease at the Hollywood Improv last week after she tore off her clothes and flashed her knockers to a packed crowd!

According to Leggero and a shocking video obtained by TMZ, here's how the X-rated show went down:

Natasha hit the stage at the Improv Wednesday night after funnyman Bert Kreischer crushed it with his first performance of the night, which included ripping off his shirt and telling jokes naked from the waist up. The audience loved it, eating up Bert's performance.

So, Leggero came up with the idea to copy Bert's bare-chested routine since he was such a hard act to follow. She put it this way, "If the boys can do it, why can't the girls?" Good point, Natasha!

But, Leggero kept her plan a secret because she wanted to go with her gut and didn't want anyone to try to talk her out of it.

After her friend Bert killed it on stage a second time, he introduced Natasha for her next go-around, as she paraded out in her overalls with her top on.

Now, this is where things got really interesting as the camera was turned on and started recording.

Check it out ... Natasha is doing a sexy dance in front of everyone as they are completely oblivious to what's about to happen. She first removes her jacket, then the straps to her overalls and then her shirt, completely exposing her bare breasts.

The whole place goes NUTS, especially the dudes in the audience. In fact, one guy screams, "Holy s—t!!"

Leggero throws back on her jacket to cover her boobs before diving into her comedy act as the clip cuts off.

Natasha's funny peep show was part of Skyler Stone's Comedy Rocks event at the Improv, which also featured several other A-list comedians, such as David Spade and Tiffany Haddish.

Beverly Johnson's opening up about racism she says she faced during her career ... but one moment's kinda new to her -- despite happening about 40 years ago.

The 71-year-old -- who became the first Black model on the cover of Vogue almost 50 years ago -- revealed she once went swimming at a hotel ... and they drained the pool after she hopped out.

Here's the deal ... BJ told Page Six she pulled up to Eileen Ford's 90th birthday party back in 2012 -- about two years before EF died -- and her friends were talking about the old days when someone asked if she remembered a certain hotel draining the pool back in the '80s.

Bev says she was shocked -- she had no idea that happened way back when ... and though she didn't know about it back then, she's sure it was racism. FYI, Johnson won't name the hotel ... saying she's not looking to get sued.

The mother-of-one added tons of stuff like that would happen to her in the modeling world just because of her skin color ... she didn't elaborate with Page Six, but her 2015 memoir 'The Face That Changed It All' and her 2020 op-ed about persistent racism in the industry both hit on other instances.

Another interesting part of the interview -- Beverly revealed model Lauren Hutton always went to bat for her when it came to modeling opportunities.

Johnson said LH would "go to photo shoots and say out loud, ‘Why isn’t Beverly on the cover of magazines? She is just as pretty,'" adding that Lauren was the "it girl" at the time, so her words meant something ... basically get you a friend like Lauren Hutton!

BTW ... Beverly's doing press to promote her new one-woman show coming to Off-Broadway titled "Beverly Johnson In Vogue." She seems pretty jazzed about it -- just look how excited she was when we caught up with her in NYC.

5:35 PM PT -- We talked to a rep for Blue Adventures by Stuart Cove -- the business that runs the shark experience at the resort ... who tells us the maximum number of participants is five and a group of five would be accompanied by three chaperones.

The encounter depicted in the vids featured three guests with two team members in the water at all times.

The Atlantis Bahamas resort shut down its shark tank after a child was attacked ... and now we have an idea of how the excursion operated days before the tragedy.

A couple clips -- obtained by TMZ -- show guests heading down into one of the resort's tanks last Saturday ... just two days before a 10-year-old was attacked by one of the sharks.

Guests are all donning big white helmets while staff members are floating around in more traditional scuba suits -- and the ratio seems a bit skewed, with a lot more guests than employees floating around.

And, check out how near the guests are getting to the underwater beasts ... talk about up close and personal!

Our sources tell us ... the tank's got about 15-20 sharks with the largest measuring about eight feet. Three chaperones help the guests get into the water and walk around for about 20 minutes -- before sending them back to the water park.

In terms of whether or not that's safe ... we can't say for sure -- we're not experts on the subject ... and this wasn't taken at the time of the attack, so we don't know if this is the same setup the resort had going Monday -- what we do know is it look like a whole bunch of tourists getting real familiar with some massive sharks.

We broke the story ... shocking video showed the aftermath of the brutal attack on a 10-year-old -- with people screaming and what appeared to be employees in blue shirts running for help.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force said the boy -- on vacation from Maryland -- got bit on the right leg and was taken to the hospital ... thankfully, he was in stable condition, and Atlantis shut down their tanks immediately.

We've reached out to the resort for comment ... so far no word back.

El resort Atlantis Bahamas cerró su estanque de tiburones después de que un niño fuera atacado, y ahora tenemos una idea de cómo funcionaba la excursión días antes de la tragedia.

Un par de clips obtenidos por TMZ muestran a los huéspedes en dirección a uno de los tanques del complejo el sábado pasado, apenas dos días antes de que un niño de 10 años fuera atacado por uno de los tiburones.

Todos los huéspedes llevaban grandes cascos blancos, mientras que los miembros del personal estaban flotando alrededor en trajes de buceo más tradicionales, y la proporción parece un poco desbalanceada, con muchos más clientes que empleados flotando alrededor.

Echa un vistazo para ver lo cerca que estaban los huéspedes de las bestias submarinas, ¡eso sí que es tener intimidad!

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que el tanque tenía alrededor de 15-20 tiburones y que el más grande medía alrededor de ocho pies. Tres acompañantes suelen ayudar a los visitantes a entrar en el agua y caminar durante unos 20 minutos, antes de enviarlos de vuelta al parque acuático.

En términos de si eso es seguro o no, no podemos decir con seguridad. No somos expertos en la materia, y esto tampoco fue tomado en el momento del ataque, así que no sabemos si se trata de la misma configuración del resort en el momento del accidente el lunes. Lo que sí sabemos es que se ve como que un montón de turistas están acercándose, quizás muy de cerca, a algunos tiburones.

TMZ informó primero la noticia, un impactante video mostraba las secuelas de un brutal ataque a un niño de 10 años. La gente estaba gritando y los empleados de camisas azules parecían correr en busca de ayuda.

La Policía de las Bahamas dijo que el niño, que es de Maryland y estaba de vacaciones, fue mordido en la pierna derecha y llevado al hospital. Afortunadamente, estaba estable y Atlantis cerró sus tanques de inmediato.

Los productores de "Cocaine Bear" podrían tener una secuela del show porque un hombre fue atrapado presuntamente usando otra criatura para el contrabando de drogas.

Zacharie Scott fue detenido en el Aeropuerto Internacional John F. Kennedy de Nueva York el viernes por supuestamente intentar pasar cocaína de contrabando dentro de bolsas de camarones jumbo congelados.

El hombre de 22 años que vive en Guyana, pero tiene la ciudadanía de Estados Unidos, supuestamente escondía ladrillos de droga dentro de las bolsas de camarones, esencialmente cubriendo los paquetes de los crustáceos.

Los federales dijeron que hicieron una prueba de campo y revelaron rastros de cocaína, y todo junto, las drogas supuestamente pesaban más de 40 libras. Las autoridades dicen que hablaron con Scott y dicen que confesó haber aceptado el contrabando de las drogas por dinero en efectivo.

Scott apareció en el Tribunal Federal de Brooklyn el martes para hacer frente a los cargos presentados por Breon Peace, el Fiscal del Distrito Este de Nueva York que está encabezando el caso, y está detenido hasta su audiencia de libertad bajo fianza. Si es declarado culpable, podría enfrentarse hasta 20 años de prisión.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el abogado de Scott para que hiciera comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

"Cocaine Bear" producers might have a sequel ... 'cause a man was allegedly caught using another creature to smuggle blow -- and underwater sequences are all the rage.

Zacharie Scott was arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport International Airport in NYC Friday for allegedly attempting to smuggle coke inside bags of frozen jumbo shrimp.

The 22-year-old -- who lives in Guyana but holds U.S. citizenship -- allegedly hid bricks of the drug inside shrimp bags, essentially covering up the substance ... making for a very different kind of cocktail party.

Feds said they did a field test ... revealing traces of cocaine -- and all together, the drugs allegedly weighed more than 40 pounds! Authorities say they talked to Scott ... and he confessed to agreeing to smuggle the drugs for cash.

Scott appeared in Brooklyn Federal Court Tuesday to face charges brought by Breon Peace, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York who's spearheading the case -- and Scott's being detained until his bail hearing on Tuesday ... if convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

We've reached out to Scott's attorney for comment ... so far, no word back.

Un video escalofriante del ataque de un tiburón a un niño en un complejo turístico de las Bahamas muestra al niño de 10 años gritando de dolor mientras su familia entra en pánico para sacarlo del agua.

TMZ obtuvo un video del momento en que un tiburón en uno de los tanques en el complejo Atlantis Bahamas en Paradise Island le dio un mordisco a un niño de 10 años de edad, un accidente extraño que ha sido absolutamente horrible de escuchar, pero que ahora se puede ver.

Otra familia está filmando el tanque de tiburones y tobogán de agua, cuando de repente, oyen gritos desde el lado opuesto con la gente apresuradamente a la superficie de una experiencia bajo el agua con tiburones nodriza y de arrecife.

Los gritos llenan el aire y la gente empieza a pedir ayuda, y el niño es arrastrado hasta el borde del tanque y sacado del agua. Parece que el personal comenzó inmediatamente a atenderlo.

El ataque del tiburón se produjo el lunes, con la Real Fuerza de Policía de Bahamas diciendo que el niño fue mordido en la pierna derecha y llevado a un hospital en condición estable. Se desconoce el alcance de sus heridas, pero a primera vista suena increíblemente doloroso.

La experiencia de nadar con tiburones del complejo —gestionada por una empresa externa— se ha cerrado, al menos temporalmente. Tiene sentido... podemos imaginar que esto podría asustar a la gente y con razón.

Chilling video of the shark attack on a child at a Bahamas resort shows the 10-year-old boy screaming in pain ... as his family panics to get him out of the water.

TMZ obtained video of the moment a shark in one of the tanks at the Atlantis Bahamas resort on Paradise Island took a bite out of a 10-year-old boy from Maryland ... a freak accident that's been absolutely horrifying to hear about, but which can now be seen.

Watch ... another family is filming the shark tank and water slide, when suddenly -- they hear screams from the opposite side  ... with people hurriedly surfacing from an underwater experience with nurse and reef sharks.

Shrieks fill the air and folks start calling for help ... and the boy is pulled to the edge of the tank and dragged out of the water. It appears staffers immediately started tending to him.

The shark attack went down Monday, with the Royal Bahamas Police Force saying the boy was bitten on the right leg, and taken to a hospital in stable condition. The extent of his injuries is unknown -- but on its face, it looks and sounds incredibly painful.

The resort's swimming with sharks experience, which is operated by an outside company, has since shut down ... at least temporarily. Makes sense -- ya gotta imagine this might spook folks for a bit.

Kid Cudi is telling all on his mended friendship with Kanye West ... and explaining exactly why he ended up forgiving the guy after an ugly falling out.

The rapper hopped on Apple Music's Zane Lowe podcast and got into the topic in depth -- explaining he and Ye are, in fact, cool now .... noting it's because Kanye sincerely apologized to him -- which is major, as he doesn't easily dish out mea culpas.

KC adds that working with someone shrouded in controversy is complicated ... but at the end of the day, he considers Kanye his brother -- and it's always siblings that hurt each other the most ... but he'll always have his family's back.

Plus, he says fans love the two of them working together ... and Cudi's well aware of that.

You'll recall ... Kanye and Cudi feuded through all of 2022 and most of 2023 -- Ye was fuming when Cudi remained pals with Pete Davidson as he dated his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

In return, Cudi labeled him a dinosaur in the music industry and swore he'd never work with him again. At the time, it certainly felt like things were over between them ... for good.

But, through much reflection, Cudi tells Zane here that he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for Kanye ... cause he championed him in his early career ... doing him huge favors such as paying for his "Day 'n' Nite" music video when he had no record deal.

He's also adamant that there's a good man underneath Ye's shocking behavior and abhorrent rants ... admitting he might not be able to bounce back from some stuff he's said, but he's praying for him.

Madonna va a tener que aprender una lección de puntualidad de la manera difícil, porque dos hombres acaban de presentar una demanda colectiva contra ella por comenzar sus conciertos tarde.

De acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Michael Fellows y Jonathan Hadden están liderando la demanda contra la legendaria estrella del pop y el organizador de conciertos Live Nation alegando que deben grandes sumas después de que el espectáculo programado para comenzar a las 8:30 PM, terminó comenzando a las 10:30 PM.

Según la demanda, los inicios tardíos constituyen un "ejercicio gratuito de publicidad falsa, tergiversación negligente y prácticas comerciales desleales y engañosas".

Los demandantes están demandando por daños y perjuicios no especificados apuntando a las tres noches que Madonna llegó tarde al Barclays Center en diciembre, pero dicen que Madonna tiene una larga historia documentada de no comenzar a tiempo (más sobre esto más adelante).

Los demandantes reconocen que Madonna tenía un problema de salud que causó el retraso del concierto de julio a diciembre, pero no creo que sea una excusa suficiente para darle inicio a los espectáculos con dos horas de retraso.

Estos tipos también indican el precio de sus entradas, que asciende a 155.90 y 292.50 dólares. En su mente, eso es dinero por el desagüe teniendo en cuenta lo tarde que se presentó.

Recordemos que una grave infección bacteriana llevó a Madonna al hospital, y las fuentes nos dijeron que estuvo luchando contra la fiebre durante aproximadamente un mes antes de que finalmente colapsara. Obviamente, la gira fue pospuesta y finalmente arrancó en Octubre.

Sabíamos que la gente estaba cabreada por la tardanza de Madonna en los shows de Nueva York de diciembre, los fans usaron las redes sociales para expresar su descontento por la espera de la Reina del Pop. (una fuente en el momento nos dijo que el retraso se debió a problemas de sonido).

Future, Drake and Tems' Grammy-winning smash is now centered in a bit of controversy -- the song's producer ATL Jacob is now being accused of lying about the song's origins.

Tems' manager Donawon has a huge issue with Jacob's recent interview with the Baller Alert podcast, where he alleged Tems had a case of the grumps, and refused to clear their 2022 collab "Wait For U" to be released.

Jacob says he had to alert Drake, who then pressured Tems to get off her caboose and push the song out -- but Donawon claims that's pure fairytale, because none of it's true.

The manager laid into Jacob and advised any of his closest peeps to get the producer's head checked ... because he thinks Jacob might be a pathological liar.

"Wait For U" shot straight to the top of the charts when it dropped, and has since been certified triple platinum.

Kanye West already tried apologizing for his rabid antisemitism -- but it seems he feels he didn't stick the landing, 'cause he recently did another one ... which was MUCH longer.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the controversial rapper got some camera guys together to shoot a lengthy apology video several weeks ago -- and we're told it ended up running about 40 minutes ... with Ye talking straight to the camera.

We're told in no uncertain terms, Ye was "rambling" and at times it was impossible to decode what he was saying.

One more thing about this apology ... our sources say whatever was shot is supposed to be released sometime ahead of his new album, "Vultures," which is scheduled to drop Feb. 9 -- this after several delays dating back to late last year.

A couple interesting things about this ... for one, Ye already issued an apology over all his antisemitic language -- dropping a statement that was written in Hebrew right after Xmas.

You'll recall, it was a very generic mea culpa, which read in part, "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."

The problem ... many felt it wasn't sincere, and more importantly a lot of people thought it might've actually been generated by AI. In fact, we did some digging and that may well be the case. Bigger picture ... most just weren't buying what he was selling.

Now, we have word about this ... and it sounds like if he proceeds, we'll be hearing/seeing this new apology in due time. However, based on what we're hearing about it so far -- it seems like this one might've been a little clunky as well.

The other mystery here is how exactly the album is going to come out. As far as we know, he doesn't have any major distribution deal in place ... so who's gonna listen to this???

Kanye West ya intentó disculparse por su rabioso antisemitismo, pero parece que siente que no fue suficiente, así que recientemente hizo otro... y MUCHO más largo.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el controvertido rapero tiene algunos amigos operando cámaras para filmar un video de disculpa largo hace varias semanas, y nos dicen que terminó durando unos 40 minutos, con Ye hablando directamente a la cámara.

Nos dicen muy seguros que Ye estaba "divagando", y que a veces era imposible descifrar lo que estaba diciendo.

Una cosa más acerca de esta disculpa, nuestras fuentes dicen que lo que se rodó se supone que debe ser puesto en libertad en algún momento antes de su nuevo álbum, "Buitres", que está programado para lanzar 9 de febrero - esto después de varios retrasos que se remontan a finales del año pasado.

Un par de cosas interesantes acerca de esto... por un lado, Ye ya emitió una disculpa por todo su lenguaje antisemita, dejando caer una declaración que fue escrita en hebreo justo después de Navidad.

Como recordarán, fue un mea culpa muy genérico, que decía en parte: "Me disculpo sinceramente con la comunidad judía por cualquier arrebato involuntario causado por mis palabras o acciones, no fue mi intención herir o faltar el respeto, y lamento profundamente cualquier dolor que pueda haber causado".

El problema es que muchos sintieron que no era sincero, y lo más importante, mucha gente pensó que en realidad podría haber sido generado por IA. De hecho, hemos investigado un poco y puede que sea así. La mayoría simplemente no estaba creyendo lo que estaba diciendo.

Tenemos noticias al respecto... y parece que si sigue adelante, oiremos/veremos esta nueva disculpa a su debido tiempo. Sin embargo, basado en lo que estamos escuchando hasta ahora, parece que este podría haber sido un poco torpe.

El otro misterio es cómo exactamente el álbum va a salir. Por lo que sabemos, no tiene ningún acuerdo de distribución importante en su lugar, así que ¿quién va a escuchar esto?

Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade may want to redub her "prison" comment in a YouTube video she created showing off her amazing kitchen.

Olivia gave everyone a tour of her luxurious Los Angeles home in the 17-plus minute video she shot and uploaded to her YT vlog. But things got weird once she stepped into the kitchen and alluded to Lori's imprisonment for her mom's role in the infamous college admissions scandal.

Check it out ... Talking directly into the camera, Olivia tells her audience she just ordered wallpaper, so the kitchen won't feel so sterile.

She repeats the phrase, "It's not gonna feel like," before she stops and thinks for a moment. Then she delivers the punchline -- "a prison."

Realizing what she just said, Olivia warns her viewers to “Save the jokes. I don’t want to hear it. I set you up and I don’t want you to tee off. OK?”

Of course, the 24-year-old influencer was referring to her mother Lori and father Mossimo Giannulli's federal convictions in the 2021 college admissions case.

Lori and Mossimo pled guilty to paying a fixer half a million dollars to get Olivia and her sister, Isabella Rose, accepted into the University of Southern California under the false pretense they were rowing recruits.
