You Might Want to Rethink

La 66ª edición de los Grammy no ha empezado de la mejor manera, porque la Academia ha hecho que Warren Beatty, ¡y los fans de Nicki Minaj se enfaden!

Así es la cosa, los Grammys no comienzan hasta las 5 PM, pero antes de la ceremonia, la Academia utiliza su cuenta de X para entregar algunos de los trofeos, básicamente para reducir el tiempo durante la ceremonia.

Uno de esos premios, Mejor Canción de Rap, le fue entregado a Nicki Minaj y Ice Spice por su canción "Barbie World", fue un gran momento para los raperos, pero no duró porque, la Academia aparentemente tuvo que retirarlo.

Verás... la Academia borró ese tuit de felicitación y publicó uno diferente, diciendo que Killer Mike en realidad había ganado el trofeo por su tema "Scientists & Engineers" con André 3000, Future, y Eryn Allen Kane.

Nicki ya ha pasado por esto antes, lleva 12 nominaciones sin llevarse un premio. También fue nominada a Mejor Canción Escrita para Medios Visuales, pero perdió frente a Billie Eilish y FINNEAS por "What Was I Made For?". ¡Cuando llueve, diluvia!

Pero si alguien se lo está tomando peor que Nicki, son las Barbz, que piensan que toda la ceremonia está arreglada.

De hecho, están tan seguros de esto que tienen #Scammys y #BarbieWorld como trending en X, básicamente afirmando que la Academia amañó los resultados debido a la explosiva pelea entre Nicki y Megan Thee Stallion.

The 66th Grammy Awards aren't off to the best start ... 'cause the Recording Academy pulled a Warren Beatty -- and Nicki Minaj fans are PISSED!!!

Here's the deal ... the Grammys don't start until 5 PM PT, but before the ceremony, the Recording Academy uses its X account to hand out some of the trophies -- basically to cut down time during the ceremony.

One of those awards ... Best Rap Song, which was won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for their song "Barbie World" -- a huge moment for the rappers -- except it didn't last 'cause the Academy seemingly took it back.

You see ... the Recording Academy deleted that congratulatory tweet and posted a different one -- saying Killer Mike had actually won the trophy for his track "Scientists & Engineers" featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.

Multiple outlets are reporting KM as the real winner of the Gramophone... so it seems NM and IS are officially out of luck!

Nicki's been through this song and dance before ... she's now racked up 12 nominations without taking home a single one. She was also nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media -- but lost that one to Billie Eilish and FINNEAS for "What Was I Made For?" When it rains, it pours!

But if anyone's taking it harder than Nicki ... it's the Barbz -- who think the whole damn ceremony is rigged.

In fact, they're so sure about this they've got #Scammys and #BarbieWorld trending on X ... basically claiming the Academy rigged the results because of Nicki's explosive beef with Megan Thee Stallion.

So is there some kinda of grand conspiracy going on, or just an honest mistake from the Recording Academy's social media manager? Let us know below.

Shane Gillis is finally going to take the "Saturday Night Live" stage ... four years after he was fired for racist comments before his first episode.

The controversial comedian will host the show on February 24 alongside musical guest 21 Savage -- a little over four years after he was fired from the program after jokes featuring racist and homophobic slurs came to light.

As we previously reported ... SG was hired back in 2019 before a comment he made on "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" the previous year. You can watch the clip above ... it's pretty demeaning language.

Obviously, this comment caused a firestorm ... with an 'SNL' spokesperson saying Lorne Michaels and other execs had sat down with Shane and decided he wasn't the right fit for the show.

Shane responded at the time with the statement, "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses." He also said he'd personally apologize to anyone who was offended.

Bowen Yang -- the prominent Asian American cast member of the iconic sketch show, who was hired the same year as Shane and is still on the show -- said he was going to sit down with Shane after the decision was made.

Yang will almost certainly appear alongside Gillis in the episode ... unclear if their convo ever went down or how he feels about the embattled comedian.

FWIW ... Gillis hasn't stopped saying controversial jokes over the years -- though perhaps they aren't as inflammatory as his 2018 comments.

However, he's still got fans up in arms over his hosting gig ... with many taking to social media to blast the NBC staple for allowing Shane the platform.

We'll have to wait and see if Shane addresses his firing on the show in a few weeks.

Shane Gillis finalmente va a subir al escenario de "Saturday Night Live" cuatro años después de haber sido despedido por comentarios racistas antes de su primer episodio.

El polémico comediante será el anfitrión del show el 24 de febrero junto al invitado musical 21 Savage, un poco más de cuatro años después de que fue despedido del programa después de que salieran a la luz chistes con insultos racistas y homofóbicos.

Como informamos anteriormente, el comediante fue contratado en 2019 antes de un comentario que hizo en "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast" el año anterior. Puedes ver el clip arriba... es un lenguaje bastante degradante.

Obviamente, este comentario causó una tormenta de fuego, con un portavoz de "SNL" diciendo que Lorne Michaels y otros ejecutivos se habían sentado con Shane y decidieron que no era el adecuado para el programa.

Shane respondió en ese momento con la siguiente declaración: "Soy un cómico que va más allá de los límites. A veces fallo. Si repasas mis 10 años de comedia, la mayoría de ellos malos, encontrarás muchos fallos". También dijo que se disculparía personalmente con quien se sintiera ofendido.

Bowen Yang -el destacado miembro asiático-americano del elenco del icónico programa de sketches, que fue contratado el mismo año que Shane y sigue en el programa- dijo que iba a sentarse con Shane después de que se tomara la decisión.

Yang es casi seguro que aparecerá junto a Gillis en el episodio y no está claro si su conversación fue en torno a cómo se siente respecto a la participación del comediante.

Gillis no ha dejado de decir chistes polémicos los últimos años, aunque tal vez no son tan inflamatorias como sus comentarios de 2018.

Sin embargo, todavía tiene a los fanáticos en armas por su actuación como anfitrión, con muchos tomando las redes sociales para arremeter contra NBC por permitirle participar a Shane.

Tendremos que esperar y ver si Shane aborda su despido en el programa en unas pocas semanas.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. fue arrestado por conducir en estado de ebriedad por tercera vez o más... TMZ ha indagado.

El padre de 53 años de Patrick Mahomes fue arrestado el sábado por la noche en Texas, según los registros de reserva en línea. Se espera que la fianza se establezca más tarde hoy mismo.

Este no es el primer arresto de Mahomes por conducir bajo estado de ebriedad según los informes, también fue arrestado en 2019 y fue sentenciado a 40 días de cárcel. Según los informes, cumplió su condena los fines de semana para cumplir con su requisito.

Es un mal momento para Mahomes Sr. ser arrestado, su hijo está a pocos días de competir contra los 49ers de San Francisco por un título del Super Bowl.

Pat Sr. hizo olas a principios de este mes por bromear que no se sentaría junto a Taylor Swift en el juego del Campeonato de la Conferencia AFC, ahora, no está claro si llegará a la Super Bowl.

3:49 PM PT -- Mahomes Sr. was released on $10,000 bail ... according to online jail records.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving while intoxicated for the third time or more ... TMZ has learned.

The 53-year-old father of Patrick Mahomes was arrested Saturday night in Texas according to online booking records. Bond is reportedly expected to be set later today.

This isn't Mahomes' first arrest for DWI ... he was also reportedly arrested back in 2019 for DWI second or more for which he was sentenced to 40 days in jail. He reportedly served the time on weekends to fulfill his requirement.

It's a pretty wild time for Mahomes Sr. to be arrested ... his son is just days away from competing against the San Francisco 49ers for a Super Bowl title.

Pat Sr. made waves earlier this month for joking he wouldn't sit next to Taylor Swift at the AFC Conference Championship game ... now, it's unclear if he will make it to the Super Bowl.

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

Ayo Edebiri hizo un mea culpa en "SNL" el sábado por la noche, pidiéndole disculpas a JLo por haber insultado sus habilidades como cantante hace unos años.

La estrella de "The Bear" fue la anfitriona, pero el momento más destacado fue el sketch de "Jeopardy", llamado "¿Por qué lo dijiste?". Los concursantes se enfrentaron a mensajes crueles en redes sociales y el anfitrión Kenan Thompson exigió una explicación.

A Ayo le mostraron una foto de una mujer disfrutando de la lluvia, y según el sketch, ella había comentado: "Muérete".  Es bastante gracioso, pero Ayo dijo esto: "Está mal publicar comentarios malvados solo por influencia o abrir la boca en un pódcast y no considerar el impacto porque tienes 24 años y eres estúpido, pero creo que hablo por todos cuando digo que a partir de ahora vamos a ser mucho más reflexivos sobre lo que publicamos en línea".

Ayo no hizo referencia a Jennifer López, pero es obvio lo que quiere decir. Como informó TMZ, Ayo estuvo en el pódcast "Scam Goddess" en 2020 y llamó a la carrera musical de JLo "una larga estafa". Ha habido mucha conversación a partir de estos comentarios desde entonces.

Ayo Edebiri did a mea culpa on "SNL" Saturday night ... circuitously apologizing to JLo for throwing shade on her singing skills a few years back.

"The Bear" star took up hosting duties, but the standout moment was the "Jeopardy" skit, which was called -- "Why'd You Say It?" The contestants were confronted with mean/snarky/cruel social media posts and host Kenan Thompson demanded an explanation.

Ayo was shown a pic of a woman enjoying the rain, and, according to the skit, she had commented, "Die."  Funny enough, but Ayo said this -- "It's wrong to leave mean comments or post mean comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast and you don't consider the impact because you are 24, and stupid, but I think, I speak for everyone when I say that from now on, we're gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online."

Ayo didn't reference Jennifer Lopez, but it's obvious what she did here. As TMZ reported, Ayo was on the "Scam Goddess" podcast back in 2020 and called JLo's music career "one long scam," saying she could carry a note and might not sing all her tracks. There have been long-running theories on this, and Ayo played into it.

"Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban's not letting Fontainebleau Vegas off the hook -- even though the resort's updated its much-maligned nachos, he has a different plan for upping their appetizer game.

We got the reality TV personality/foodie out in NYC this week and asked him about Fontainebleau's viral nacho debacle. He was actually at the hotel's opening night, and while he complimented most of the menu options ... he went scorched earth on the nachos.

ICYMI, the meager nacho offering went viral after a pic of the plate, priced at $24, ended up on social media. The unappetizing dish caused a frenzy on X, and 'Bleau ultimately redid their nachos and posted an updated pic, trying to do some damage control.

JC's very clear on where the hotel went wrong ... saying the chef should've invited him into the kitchen to design a truly over-the-top nacho plate.

As for whether nachos should even be on a five-star menu, the "Foodgod" is unequivocal -- it all depends on what you put on those bad boys! He was generous enough to offer up a few ingredients to make high-class gourmet nachos. Pay attention, Fontainebleau!!!

And, if the ritzy Vegas spot hears something they like here, it better move quickly. Foodgod's a gun for hire, and is already chatting with other Strip hotels.

One more thing, lots of folks were pissed about the $24 price tag for the "nachos" -- but Cheban's cosigning on that ... pointing out nachos at regular places go for about $17, and Fontainebleau's far from regular!

Alyssa Milano's responding to claims she got Shannen Doherty fired from "Charmed" way back in the early 2000s ... well, kinda.

The actress -- who played Phoebe Halliwell on 178 episodes of "Charmed" from 1998 to 2006 -- hit the stage at 2024 MegaCon Orlando Friday to talk about the hit show ... and, of course, Shannen Doherty's controversial comments came up.

ICYMI ... Doherty hopped on her podcast titled "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" back in December and spoke with former costar Holly Marie Combs about their experiences on the show -- and with Milano.

Among the many stories -- Holly said Alyssa went to the producers and laid down an ultimatum ... axe Shannen or she'd quit and sue "Charmed" for being a hostile workplace which led to Doherty's unceremonious exit.

Obviously, fans needed to get an answer from Alyssa, and they got one ... just one that completely skirted the claims themselves.

Check out the video taken by a fan at the convention and posted to YouTube. Alyssa starts by saying she wants to address the elephant in the room, but she basically avoids the tusks and trunk entirely.

Instead of answering the claims directly, Milano kept reiterating how "sad" she was by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show before saying she was upset "people can’t move past it. And I’m sad that we all can’t just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us."

It seems Milano did get choked up while saying her piece, appearing to brush away tears onstage ... but she didn't clear up what happened with Doherty's exit, and the whole thing actually makes it seem like Milano may have done exactly what SD accused her of.

BTW ... Alyssa's active on Twitter -- retweeting a couple posts about her comments at the convention, but not adding any new info as of yet.

Shannen's still got her podcast though ... so maybe another Alyssa Milano-filled episode coming soon?

Britney Spears' recent post deserves another look ... 'cause it seemed like an innocent throwback with her sis, but it might've been a coded dig at her mom.

The 42-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram Saturday afternoon to share a sweet pic from back in the day with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears ... showing BS in a black turtleneck with JLS pulling off 2000s chic in her brown cap and bright orange T.

Brit captioned the pic, "Throwback!!! I can't stop laughing" followed by some laughing emojis. She even went as far as tagging her sister in the caption ... so it seems the two may even still be on speaking terms!

However, another family member was also in the photo, but didn't make the cut on Spears' IG grid ... 'cause Lynne Spears is off to the left in the actual pic!

Here's the full photo from way back in 2002 ... and there's Lynne in the bright red top, pearly-white smile on her face.

So why didn't she make the cut on Instagram ... there are any number of innocuous reasons for the exclusion like Britney only wanted to show her and Jamie's faces -- both of which are highlighted by rather funny expressions. Or, perhaps, the full pic wouldn't fit on Insta, so Britney was forced to cut Lynne out.

But, with all the turmoil in Brit's family from the past -- and the fact that Spears didn't even mention cutting her mom out in the caption -- it's always possible the two had another falling out despite their attempts at reconciliation.

We broke the story ... Britney and Lynne started working through their issues weeks before Mama Spears attended her daughter's 42nd birthday celebration at the beginning of December.

Everything seemed to be heading down the right path ... with Lynne expressing hope her daughter would come to Lousiana for Christmas to keep the good times rolling.

Since then though, we haven't heard a peep ... which suggests the wheels may have fallen off their relationship though we certainly don't know anything for sure.

On a brighter note ... Jamie Lynn seems to be back in Britney's good graces! We knew a reconciliation between the two was also taking place back in December though the actress wouldn't tell us anything when we caught up with her at LAX.

So, it seems we'll just have to wait and see if Lynne has anything to say about getting the axe from Brit's pic.

3:27 PM -- New Mexico State just announced it's suspending Robert Carpenter indefinitely for his punch Thursday night.

"His actions do not align with the standards we uphold at New Mexico State," the school said in a statement Friday afternoon, "and we believe it is important to ensure that any actions contrary to our principles will not be tolerated."

New Mexico State men's basketball player Robert Carpenter unloaded a haymaker on his opponent's nose during a tiff in a game Thursday night ... and the incident was so brazen, even his own coach is now expecting him to receive a suspension.

The violent play happened with about 12 minutes to go in the first half of the Aggies' tilt with Liberty in Las Cruces ... when Carpenter and Shiloh Robinson got in a tussle while trying to fight for position for a possible rebound.

Broadcast video shows the guys pushed and shoved each other ... before, suddenly, Carpenter uncorked a right hook that landed flush on Robinson's face.

The Liberty forward immediately crumpled to the ground in pain ... and Carpenter was instantly ejected after being issued a flagrant foul 2.

Robinson eventually got up after being tended to by trainers, but he did not return to action.

After the game -- which NMSU ended up winning, 79-73 -- Aggies coach Jason Hooten called Carpenter's actions unacceptable ... and said he anticipated a ban for Carpenter was forthcoming.

"Even if there was something that put Rob in that state of mind to do what he did," Hooten said, "it's still not acceptable."

Hooten did add, though, that he knows Carpenter "feels really bad about what he did."

"There's just no room for that in the game," he said. "At all."

Hooten told media members Carpenter will definitively not play in NMSU's game on Saturday against Jacksonville State ... though his status after that is still unclear.

Carpenter has been one of the Aggies' best players this season, averaging 9.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Joe Biden's supposedly has a choice pet name for his likely 2024 opponent ... one you can't really use in polite society -- which he almost said in a speech recently!

A report from Politico released Thursday reveals the current Prez is seemingly disgusted with Donald Trump ... calling him a "sick f***" when talking to close friends and White House aides.

And, it appears he likes to double down on it too ... commenting "What a f***ing a**hole the guy is" on at least one occasion according to the premier political magazine.

While this may seem hard to confirm ... video evidence from a Pennsylvania speech early last month shows "Dark Brandon" seemingly ready to fire off his new catchphrase while railing against the former POTUS for his remarks.

JB said, "At his rally, he jokes about an intruder whipped up by the big Trump lie, taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi's skull and echoing the very same words used on January 6 -- "Where's Nancy?" -- and he thinks that's funny. He laughed about it. What a sick--."

POTUS never finished that statement ... instead the audience laughed and Biden added he thought DT was "despicable" -- pretty clear he wanted to use a more graphic term though.

If you're wondering if the Trump campaign's concerned about Biden's words at all ... it's pretty obvious they're not. Chris LaCivita, a top campaign adviser, told Politico it's abhorrent he'd use such words to describe his predecessor -- though it's "no surprise he disrespects the 45th president the same way he disrespects the American people with his failed policies."

Bottom line ... these fellas don't like each other, and they're not afraid to show it.

Joe also reportedly gets triggered by Don's statements all the time ... with Politico saying he'd expressed distaste for Trump after comments he made about Charlottesville, Vladimir Putin and veterans.

More legal trouble for Blueface as he sits in a Los Angeles jail cell ... 'cause a judge in Las Vegas wants him arrested and brought to Nevada for an alleged probation violation.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, a Nevada judge issued a bench warrant for Blueface's arrest for violating the terms of his probation. In case you forgot, Blueface is also on probation in NV as part of a plea deal he cut in his Vegas strip club shooting case.

As we reported ... Blueface received a suspended sentence in that case, getting hit with 3 years of probation and no jail time if he kept his nose clean. He also had a 2-5 year underlying sentence, meaning a probation violation could get him locked up for a few years.

Now, in terms of what exactly he allegedly did to violate his probation in Vegas -- besides getting locked up here in Cali, of course, which will usually do the trick -- his attorney spoke on it to local media outlets and cited something else, specifically, prosecutors are eyeing.

Blue's lawyer Kristina Wildeveld told 8 News Now the alleged probation violation relates to cell phone video from a Utah performance last December, with the footage appearing to show Blueface bringing a woman on stage and telling his fiancée to "get her" as she attacked her.

It shouldn’t be too hard for law enforcement to track Blueface down ... like we said, he's currently in custody in Men's Central Jail in L.A., where he's been for weeks now ... the result of a separate probation violation for an assault case here in the Golden State.

Blueface isn't technically scheduled to be released from jail until July, and the warrant out of Vegas could mean he then heads to Nevada to serve some time behind bars there as well.

His lawyer told the same outlet Blueface is cooperating with law enforcement and plans to turn himself into Nevada authorities after he serves his time in California.

Blueface already got a warning from the Las Vegas judge ... she reportedly told him she wouldn't hesitate to throw him in prison on any kind of probation violation, and now he's being accused of having one.

Britney Spears is coming after Justin Timberlake for taking back his apology to her from a few years ago -- and she's going even further back to slam him ... and his skills on the court.

The pop star just posted a photo of a basketball hoop with the moon in the background that looks like a ball going through. It's a cool shot, but her caption is even more telling -- 'cause she kinda goes scorched earth on her ex after his little stunt last night.

She writes, "Someone told me someone was talking s*** about me on the streets !!! Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time???"

Britney emphatically adds one last dig that's pretty good, TBH ... writing, "I’m not sorry!!!"

Of course, she's referring to JT issuing his non-apology in front of a NYC crowd Wednesday -- when he performed for a one-night show. You'll recall, right before he launched into 'Cry Me a River' -- which is famously known to be about Brit -- he said ... he'd like to take the opportunity to apologize to "absolutely f***ing nobody."

A lot of Britney fans were upset with the fact that he flip-flopped ... especially, seemingly, out of nowhere. Mind you, Britney herself had just recently apologized to Justin about stuff in her memoir.

It's also interesting that Britney is bringing up this basketball stuff again. Remember, she actually crapped on his b-ball ability (or lack thereof) late last year out of the clear blue.

Basically, she says she beat him a ton when they were dating ... and that he sucks. Now, she seems to be implying that he was bent out of shape over it, and maybe even cried.

Weird flex, but okay ... Britney's out here flaunting her stuff. Love to see it!

Britney Spears arremete contra Justin Timberlake luego de que el cantante retirara su disculpa. La diva arremete criticándolo a él y sus habilidades en el escenario.

La estrella del pop acaba de publicar una foto de un aro de baloncesto con la luna de fondo. Es una buena foto, pero lo que escribió al pie es bastante revelador.

¡Ella escribe: "Me dijeon que alguien estaba hablando mierda de mí en la calle. ¿Quieres llevarlo al juzgado o te irás a casa llorando con tu madre como hiciste la última vez?".

Britney añade enfáticamente una última indirecta que es bastante buena: "¡No lo siento!".

Por supuesto, ella se refiere a Justin emitiendo su no-disculpa frente a una multitud en Nueva York el miércoles, cuando actuó por la noche. Usted recordará, justo antes de que él lanzó "Cry Me a River" -que es famosa por ser sobre Brit- dijo que le gustaría aprovechar la oportunidad para pedir disculpas a "absolutamente f***ing nadie".

Un montón de fans de Britney estaban molestos, y con razón. Eso sí, Britney se había disculpado recientemente con Justin sobre cosas en sus memorias.

También es interesante que Britney vuelva a sacar el tema del baloncesto. Recordemos que ella realmente se cagó en su capacidad (o falta de ella) a finales del año pasado de la nada.

Básicamente, ella dice que le ganó un montón de veces cuando estaban saliendo y que apesta. Ahora, ella parece estar dando a entender que él incluso lloró luego de perder.
