You Might Want to Rethink

Dwayne Johnson popped off over accusations he was booed for not following through on aid to Maui ... calling the claim "false clickbait garbage" in a furious response on X.

Here's the deal ... Nick Sortor -- an internet personality who has appeared on networks like Fox News and Newsmax -- posted a video to Twitter showing people at a WWE event raining jeers down on The Rock.

Sortor claimed these people were berating Johnson for not following through on his promise to aid the island of Maui following the devastating wildfires last summer.

He even pointed to some fans' chanting in the vid ... claiming they were saying "Maui" over and over -- and if you listen to the clip, it does sound like that's exactly what they're yelling.

But, DJ wasn't having this interpretation of events -- instead hopping on X to slam Sortor's analysis and insisting he was being booed for playing "the heel" in a WWE press conference -- professional wrestling-ese for "the villain."

Johnson said he tries to stay above the social media fray generally, but decided to correct Nick because he used "Hawaii's tragic events to draw attention" to himself before explaining his own role of villain at the presser Thursday.

He went on to claim The People's Fund of Maui -- kicked off by himself and Oprah Winfrey in August with a $10 million donation -- has delivered more than $50 million to thousands of survivors who were affected by the fires.

He praised the resilience of those people whose lives were uprooted by the fires and wrote directly to Sortor "instead of posting bulls*** like this that you know is false - I encourage you to post something positive for Hawaii, for our Polynesian American people. Or actually take positive action and come to Hawaii to help out in an uplifting way."

He encouraged Nick to use his platform to lift up the people of Hawaii instead of trying to tear him down ... and apologized to "all our Poly/Hawaiian ohana of Maui, for shining light on this toxicity as you struggle through tough times."

BTW ... Sortor isn't backing down -- responding on X by saying he's also based in Hawaii and Dwayne has his contact info, so he's happy to meet Johnson whenever he wants.

FWIW ... a community note has been added to Sortor's tweet explaining the context of the booing video -- and the crowd may have been shouting "Maui" but that's also The Rock's character's name from the highly popular Disney movie "Moana," so it could've been yelled in a totally different context.

La música de Travis Scott es un afrodisíaco, al menos para una pareja que se puso caliente con la ventana abierta de par en par.

Así es la cosa, el rapero subió al escenario en el Hakkasan Nightclub en el MGM Grand sábado por la noche para realizar algunas canciones antes del Super Bowl LVIII en Las Vegas.

Mientras interpretaba algunas de sus canciones, los fans pudieron ver otro tipo de show... algo que por lo general hay que pagar mucho dinero para ver en Las Vegas.

Échale un vistazo al video, se puede ver claramente a una pareja muy hot sin ningún tipo de vergüenza.

No está claro si la pareja era consciente de que eran visibles, pero definitivamente debieron pensar que alguien podía verlos, ¡las ventanas de las habitaciones de hotel son transparentes!

Algunos de los artistas se refirieron a la situación erótica, diciendo: "Ese chico es una leyenda".

La gente se levantó en redes sociales, llamando a todo el asunto incómodo y esperando que la gente tenga un poco más de respeto cuando se trata de un momento íntimo.

No sabemos si la pareja se ha enfrentado a quejas en el hotel o incluso a la policía. No sería raro debido a lo mucho que se pudo ver.

Dwayne Johnson estalló sobre las acusaciones de que fue abucheado por no seguir adelante con la ayuda a Maui, llamando a la afirmación "falsa basura clickbait" en una respuesta furiosa en X.

Nick Sortor -una personalidad de Internet que ha aparecido en redes como Fox News y Newsmax- publicó un video en Tuiter que muestra a la gente en un evento de la WWE abucheando a The Rock.

Sortor afirmó que estas personas estaban reprendiendo a Johnson por no cumplir su promesa de ayudar a la isla de Maui tras los devastadores incendios forestales del verano pasado.

Incluso se refirió a los cánticos de algunos fans en el video, afirmando que estaban diciendo "Maui" una y otra vez, y si escuchas el clip, parece que eso es exactamente lo que están gritando.

Pero Dwayne no tenía esta interpretación de los hechos, y apareció en X para criticar el análisis de Sortor e insistiendo en que estaba siendo abucheado por jugar "al villano" en una conferencia de prensa de la WWE.

Johnson dijo que trata de mantenerse por encima de la refriega de los medios de comunicación social en general, pero decidió corregir a Nick porque utilizó "los trágicos acontecimientos de Hawai para llamar la atención sobre sí mismo antes de explicar su propio papel de villano en la rueda de prensa del jueves".

Dwayne Johnson afirmó que el People's Fund de Maui, creado por él mismo y Oprah Winfrey en agosto con una donación de 10 millones de dólares, ha entregado más de 50 millones de dólares a miles de supervivientes afectados por los incendios.

Alabó la resistencia de las personas cuyas vidas fueron arrancadas de raíz por los incendios y escribió directamente a Sortor: "En lugar de publicar chorradas como esta, que sabes que son falsas, te animo a que publiques algo positivo para Hawái, para nuestro pueblo polinesio-americano. O realmente tomar una acción positiva y venir a Hawai para ayudar de una manera edificante".

Alentó a Nick a usar su plataforma para levantar a la gente de Hawai en lugar de tratar de derribarla y se disculpó con "todos nuestros Poly/Hawaiian ohana de Maui, por arrojar luz sobre esta toxicidad mientras luchas a través de tiempos difíciles".

A propósito, Sortor no da marcha atrás, respondiendo en X diciendo que tiene el contacto de Dwayne, por lo que está feliz de reunirse con él cuando quiera.

Otra cosa.... una nota de la comunidad se ha añadido al tuit de Sortor, explicando el contexto del video de abucheos, y la multitud puede haber estado gritando "Maui", pero ese es también el nombre del personaje de The Rock de la popular película de Disney "Moana", por lo que podría haber sido gritado en un contexto totalmente diferente.

Kanye West ha revelado el misterio del taxi acuático en Italia hace unos meses... parece confirmar que efectivamente fue sexo oral.

La nueva canción de Kanye revela qué fue lo que pasó aquel día con Bianca Censori en Italia, cuando el rapero se inclinó y dejó ver "su escote de camionero".

La letra reveladora dice: "Shawty wanna f-k on somethin '? / F-k on me / Suck on me, publicly".

Como usted probablemente recuerda, Kanye y Bianca tuvieron problemas con la compañía de taxis acuáticos, ya que sentían que la pareja estaba haciendo de las suyas a bordo.

Como también saben, Kanye y Bianca causaron revuelo debido a lo que ella llevaba puesto en Venecia, o más bien lo que no llevaba puesto.

Kanye colaboró con Ty Dolla $ign para la canción que se estrenó el viernes.

Kanye West has blown the lid off the water taxi mystery in Italy a few months back ... he seems to confirm, it was indeed oral sex.

Kanye's new song "F**k Sumn" reveals what and who went down when his wife, Bianca Censori leaned down as Ye's pants were at least partially down.

The telltale lyric ..."Shawty wanna f–k on somethin’? / F–k on me / Suck on me, publicly."

As you probably recall, Kanye and Bianca were mum back in August as to what was really going on, but the water taxi company felt it knew of the shenanigans ... it banned K&B from its vessels.

As you also know, Kanye and Bianca caused a stir with what she was wearing around Venice ... more accurately what she was not wearing.

Kanye collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign for the song, which dropped Friday.

Jada Pinkett Smith tuvo un aterrador incidente en su casa de Los Ángeles a principios de esta semana: la policía dice que dos hombres se subieron a su balcón mientras ella estaba dentro.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que los hombres con capuchas intentaron entrar poco antes de las 8 PM pensando que no había nadie en la casa, pero que se asustaron cuando la presentadora de "Red Table Talk" los vio.

La policía se dirigió a la escena, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que los sospechosos se habían ido y no estaban en ninguna parte.

No está claro si Jada era el objetivo o si solo era una banda golpeando casas bonitas alrededor de la zona de Los Ángeles.

Nos dicen que los oficiales hicieron un informe de intento de robo y el caso está bajo investigación.

Jada ha estado separada de su marido Will desde hace unos años, y aunque todavía están en muy buenos términos, especialmente después de la bofetada de los Oscar, es muy poco probable que estuviera con ella en el momento del robo.

La policía dice que no está claro si ella estaba acompañada de otra persona en el momento o estaba completamente sola.

Jada Pinkett Smith had a terrifying incident go down at her Los Angeles Area home earlier this week -- cops say two men climbed onto her balcony while she was inside!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the men wearing hoodies attempted to break in a little before 8 PM thinking the coast was clear -- but we're told they were scared off when the "Red Table Talk" host saw them.

Police responded to the scene ... but our sources say the suspects had long taken off and were nowhere to be found.

Unclear if Jada was the target or if this was just a crew hitting nice homes in and around the L.A. area.

We're told deputies took an attempted burglary report ... and the case is now under investigation.

Jada's been separated from hubby Will for a few years now, and though they're apparently still on pretty good terms, especially in the aftermath of that Oscars slap, it's highly unlikely that he was with her at the time of the break-in.

Cops say it's unclear whether she had other company at the time ... or was alone.

Speaking of being alone, Jada said last year she and Will would eventually move back in together. That clearly hasn't happened yet.

Ozzy Osbourne slammed Kanye West for using a Black Sabbath sample on his new album without permission -- but the rocker's wife is even more furious ... tearing him a new one.

Here's the deal ... OO hopped on X Friday and absolutely torched Ye for featuring a sample of an old BS song on one of his own tracks for 'Vultures.' Ozzy seemed to think it was 'War Pigs,' even though it really sounded like 'Iron Man.' Either way, he was fuming.

Ozzy wrote, "@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “WAR PIG” FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY."

He added, "HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!"

Sharon herself echoed Ozzy's sentiment to TMZ -- telling us ... "Kanye f***ed with the wrong Jew this time" ... going on to say that she and Ozzy have fired off a cease and desist to Ye.

She goes on to say that somebody from Kanye's camp reached out to them 3 weeks ago for permission to use a Black Sabbath song -- something we're told SO and OO said "absolutely not" to. In fact, it sounds like their rebuffing of Ye is personal.

Sharon says Ozzy rarely refuses people who wanna do this ... but in this instance, he had a "special f***ing occasion to say no." We should note -- Sharon herself was raised Jewish.

Kanye's antisemitism is a nonstarter for Sharon and Ozzy -- and we're told they both feel the way he's conducted himself of late is unacceptable. Sharon, specifically, tells us Ye these days "represents hate," and that he's a "disrespectful antisemite."

She also calls Kanye dangerous ... and adds for good measure, "the motherf***er's a pig."

Sharon finishes by saying she and the Osbourne family want no association with Kanye -- and they don't even care if the Black Sabbath sample is just a second or two. They don't want him using Ozzy's music, period -- and if he keeps pushing it, he might have a legal battle on his hands.

One other thing ... you can tell Sharon and Ozzy have had disdain for Kanye for a while now -- just this past Halloween, the two of them dressed and Ye and Bianca ... and were on point.

Ozzy Osbourne criticó a Kanye West por usar un sample de Black Sabbath en su nuevo álbum sin permiso, pero la esposa del rockero está aún más furiosa ...

Este es el asunto: Ozzy corrió a X el viernes para atacar a Ye por incluir un sample de una vieja canción de Black Sabbath en uno de sus temas para "Vultures". Ozzy creía que era "War Pigs", pero sonaba más como "Iron Man". En cualquier caso, estaba que echaba humo.

Ozzy escribió: "@kanyewest PIDIÓ PERMISO PARA USAR UNA SECCIÓN DE UNA INTERPRETACIÓN EN VIVO DE 1983 DE "WAR PIG" DEL US FESTIVAL Y SE LE DENEGÓ EL PERMISO PORQUE ES UN ANTISEMITA Y HA CAUSADO UN DOLOR INMENSO A MUCHOS".

Y añadió: "ÉL SE ADELANTÓ Y USÓ EL SAMPLE DE TODAS MANERAS EN LA FIESTA DE ESCUCHA DE SU ÁLBUM ANOCHE. NO QUIERO RELACIONARME CON ESTE HOMBRE".

La propia Sharon hizo eco del sentimiento de Ozzy con TMZ. Nos dijo: "Kanye se metió con el judío equivocado esta vez", diciendo que ella y Ozzy han disparado una advertencia formal a Ye (su nombre en inglés es cease and desist).

Ella continúa diciendo que alguien del equipo de Kanye se puso en contacto con ellos hace 3 semanas para pedirles permiso para utilizar una canción de Black Sabbath, a lo que Sharon y Ozy dijeron "absolutamente no". De hecho, parece que su rechazo a Ye es personal.

Sharon dice que Ozzy rara vez le niega este tipo de peticiones, pero en esta vez tenía una "ocasión especial para decir que no". Hay que señalar que Sharon fue criada como judía.

Nos dicen que ambos sienten que la forma en que se ha comportado últimamente es inaceptable. Sharon, en concreto, nos dice que Ye por estos días "representa el odio", y que es un "antisemita irrespetuoso".

También lo llama peligroso y añade que por si fuera poco, "el hijo de puta es un cerdo".

Sharon termina diciendo que ella y la familia Osbourne no quieren ningún tipo de asociación con Kanye, y ni siquiera les importa si el sample de Black Sabbath es solo un segundo o dos. No quieren que utilice la música de Ozzy, y punto, y si sigue insistiendo, podría tener una batalla legal en sus manos.

Otra cosa ... Se nota que Sharon y Ozzy tienen desdén por Kanye desde hace un tiempo. Justo este pasado Halloween, los dos se disfrazaron de Ye y Bianca y dieron con el outfit.

Kanye West's listening party event -- where he debuted his new album -- apparently had someone with a bleep button monitoring, which they used at the first sign of antisemitism.

The rapper was in Chicago Thursday night and hosting a performance at United Center -- basically using the show to trot out all his new songs on 'Vultures,' which he didn't release digitally to the masses ... but which everyone in the building got to hear live.

Ye went through his set list rockin' his Jason Voorhees mask ... and while he cruised through each track, he eventually landed on one where he explicitly mentioned his antisemitism -- and it appears the platform he was using to stream this was quick to censor him.

Check it out ... Kanye raps, "And I'm still crazy, bipolar, antisemite // And I'm still the king." Almost a second after that last lyrics -- the feed on Veeps (the streaming service he opted for to carry his live gig) cut to black and went silent ... suggesting someone did it purposely.

That's what people online are speculating anyway ... namely, that Ye and Veeps might've had some agreement beforehand that gave them the right to cut his show off at a moment's notice for objectionable content -- and, presumably, that's what happened here.

As for the rest of the concert ... pretty standard. KW was up there performing alongside Ty Dolla $ign as they went through the 'Vultures' tracklist. His daughter, North, got onstage too and performed her verse on 'Talking/Once Again.' And yes, the place looked relatively packed.

There was one other interesting moment that stood out from the show ... Ye compared himself to "canceled" celebs -- and specifically name-dropped Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Diddy.

Like we said, 'Vultures' didn't end up releasing on any major streaming platforms -- so his fans that weren't there were left disappointed yet again. It's unclear if he'll actually drop it.

El evento de Kanye West, para escuchar su nuevo álbum "Vultures", aparentemente tenía a alguien monitoreando con un botón "bleep" (o de alerta), el cual usaron a la primera señal de antisemitismo.

El rapero estuvo en Chicago el jueves por la noche como anfitrión de una actuación en el United Center. Durante el espectáculo sacó a relucir todas sus canciones de "Vultures", que no lanzó digitalmente a las masas, pero que todos en el edificio llegaron a escuchar en vivo.

Ye fue repasando su set list mientras usaba su máscara de Jason Voorhees, y cuando finalmente llegaron a una canción donde menciona explícitamente su antisemitismo, parece que la plataforma que estaba utilizando para transmitir se apresuró en censurarlo.

Echa un vistazo, Kanye rapea: "Y sigo siendo loco, bipolar, antisemita // Y sigo siendo el rey". Casi un segundo después de que se escuchara esta última letra, el servicio de streaming que optó por llevar su concierto en vivo, Veeps, se fue a negro y quedó en silencio, lo que sugiere que alguien lo hizo a propósito.

Al menos eso es lo que están especulando todos en Internet y es que Ye y Veeps podrían haber tenido algún acuerdo de antemano que les dio el derecho de cortar su show en un momento que apareciera contenido objetable, y presumiblemente, eso es lo que pasó aquí.

En cuanto al resto del concierto, todo fue bastante normal. Kanye actuó junto a Ty Dolla $ign y su hija North también subió al escenario e interpretó su verso en "Talking/Once Again". Y sí, el lugar parecía estar relativamente lleno.

Hubo otro momento interesante durante el espectáculo. Ye se comparó a sí mismo con otras celebridades "canceladas" y nombró específicamente a Bill Cosby, R. Kelly y Diddy.

Como hemos dicho, "Vultures" no terminó siendo lanzado en ninguna de las principales plataformas de streaming, por lo que los fans que no estaban allí se quedaron decepcionados una vez más. No está claro si realmente lo lanzará.

Wil Wheaton says Larry David "attacking" Elmo on TV last week might've been funny to some -- but it was no laughing matter to him ... 'cause it triggered old, ugly memories.

The 'Star Trek' actor had a strong reaction to the 'Curb' star putting his hands on the "Sesame Street" puppet on the 'Today' show -- taking to Facebook to write a lengthy essay that slammed LD ... while in the same breath explaining why it rocked him to his core.

He writes, "What the f*** is wrong with that guy? Elmo is, like, the best friend to multiple generations of children. In the Sesame Street universe, ELMO IS A CHILD, who is currently putting mental health and caring for others in the spotlight."

WW adds ... "And Larry F***ing David ... did ... that? And thought it was going to be ... funny? What? What an ass****. What a stupid, self-centered, tone deaf ass****."

Wil goes on to say that his dad used to abuse him as a kid -- shaking him by the shoulders and screaming in his face, among other things, and he says seeing Larry do that to Elmo had his heart racing as it dredged up internal trauma in his mind. He's quite serious, too.

He finishes by saying what Elmo means to so many kids -- especially in that segment, where he promoted mental health awareness -- makes Larry's attack all that much more sickening.

Wil ends with ... "A man who would belittle and mock that isn't much of a man at all. Shame on you, Larry David." This tirade of his, BTW, ended up being some 900 words on FB.

FWIW, Larry did "apologize" to Elmo shortly after his outburst ... and clearly thought it was all in good fun. Apparently not, though, from Wil's POV -- dude is straight-up outraged and hurt.

Bobbi Althoff getting divorced is now being picked apart by fans who think Drake might've had something to do with it -- but we got the real story ... and it's far from that at all.

Here's the deal ... Bobbi's now-estranged husband, Cory, cited July 4, '23 as the day he and BA separated -- and the reason folks are hyper-focusing on this is because it just so happens to be around the time she aired her viral interview with Drake, where they're both in bed.

Of course, the speculation has been peaking -- with many suggesting Bobbi and Drake were, perhaps, closer than we saw ... and that they maybe had something going on BTS.

Welp, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Drake was actually NOT a big fan of Bobbi toward the end of summer last year -- and that they had a major falling out post-interview, although they were friendly in the immediate aftermath.

Long story short ... we're told Drake and Bobbi continued texting after they had their famous lay-down chat -- and our sources say Drizzy even invited Bobbi to his L.A. concert on Aug. 12 ... which she attended. Unfortunately for her, only general admission was offered.

Our sources tell us Bobbi was genuinely angry about this -- apparently feeling she deserved to be in the VIP area with Drake's other celeb friends -- and she made her indignation known in a since-deleted video where she's standing around on the arena floor pouting about.

Not long after that went up ... Bobbi took the clip down, and within the same weekend -- she also took down the original nearly hour-long interview ... no explanation for either.

At the time, people were trying to figure out if they'd had a falling out -- and as it turns out, they absolutely did. Our sources tell us that when Bobbi was at the show ... her little video was reflecting how she actually felt -- namely, furious she'd ended up in GA.

We're told Bobbi blew Drake up about it that same night -- while he was onstage -- and that she even tried going backstage at one point ... but got rebuffed by security.

Not long after this ... we're told Drake's camp hit her team to demand she take down both the clip and the interview ... which she then did. At that point, we're told their friendship fizzled.

Now, in terms of whether they've patched things up since -- something Bobbi herself recently implied on Keke Palmer's podcast ... we're told they haven't. Bobbi told Keke they'd spoken in recent weeks ... but our sources tell us they have not. We're told they don't talk anymore.

On the issue of why Cory actually filed to divorce Bobbi -- it's a very simple explanation ... our sources tell us her skyrocketing fame and his desire to remain a normie was the main catalyst, and that it had nothing to do with allegations of cheating. Although, we're sure he probably didn't appreciate how cozy she was acting with Champagne Papi on tape.

El divorcio de Bobbi Althoff está siendo observado bien de cerca por los fans que piensan que Drake podría haber tenido algo que ver con eso, pero tenemos la verdadera historia y está lejos de ser así.

Así es la cosa, Bobbi, el ex marido de Cory, citó el 4 de julio del 2023 como el día en que él y Bobbi se separaron, y la razón por la gente está conmocionada, es porque da la casualidad de que es muy cerca del momento en que salió al aire su entrevista viral con Drake, donde ambos están en la cama.

Por supuesto, la especulación ha llegado a su punto máximo, con muchos sugiriendo que Bobbi y Drake eran, tal vez, más cercanos de lo que pudimos ver, y que tal vez tenían algo pasando a escondidas.

Sin embargo, fuentes directas nos informan que Drake no era un gran fan de Bobbi hacia el final del verano del año pasado y tuvieron una caída importante después de la entrevista, a pesar de que se hicieron amigos inmediatamente después.

Nos dicen que Drake y Bobbi continuaron enviando mensajes de texto después de que tuvieron su famosa charla y nuestras fuentes dicen que Drake incluso invitó a Bobbi a su concierto de Los Ángeles el 12 de agosto... al que asistió. Por desgracia para ella, solo obtuvo la entrada general.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Bobbi estaba realmente enfadada por esto, aparentemente sintiendo que merecía estar en la zona VIP con otros amigos famosos de Drake, y ella hizo saber su indignación en un video ya borrado donde ella está de pie en el suelo de la arena haciendo pucheros.

No mucho después de que lo subió, Bobbi quitó el clip, y en el mismo fin de semana también quitó la entrevista original de casi una hora de duración sin explicación aparente.

En ese momento, la gente estaba tratando de averiguar si habían tenido una pelea y resulta que así fue. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que cuando Bobbi estaba en el show, su pequeño video estaba reflejando cómo se sentía en realidad, es decir, furiosa de terminar en la galería.

Nos dicen Bobbi no se comportó de la mejor manera esa noche, incluso trató de ir detrás del escenario en un momento, pero la seguridad la detuvo.

No mucho después de esto, nos dicen que el campamento de Drake golpeó a su equipo para exigir que retire tanto el clip y como la entrevista, y así fue como pasó. En ese momento su amistad se esfumó.

Ahora, respecto a si han arreglado las cosas desde entonces, algo que Bobbi dio a entender recientemente en el pódcast de Keke Palmer... nos informan que no lo han hecho. Bobbi le dijo a Keke que habían hablado las últimas semanas, pero nuestras fuentes nos dicen que no lo han hecho. Nos dicen que no hablan más

Sobre la cuestión de por qué Cory realmente le pidió el divorcio a Bobbi, muy simple, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que su fama y su deseo de seguir siendo un normie fue el principal catalizador y que no tenía nada que ver con las acusaciones de engaño. Aunque estamos seguros de que probablemente no apreciaba cómo acogedor que estaba actuando con Champagne Papi en la cinta.

British Vogue editor Edward Enninful put 40 models on his final cover, and while there's no KarJenner or Gisele Bündchen featured ... it's not some big snub, as some have speculated.

Here's the deal ... Edward is stepping down at British Vogue after 40 years as magazine editor, and the March issue is a farewell of sorts ... with 40 fashion icons joining forces for a photo shoot. It's a big deal -- he's been heading up British Vogue for years now.

The cover page just dropped and folks on social media seem shocked at the lack of Kardashians and Jenners ... there's no Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris, Kylie or Kendall -- and while some were gleefully rejoicing, many were genuinely curious about their absence.

Ditto for Gisele -- people were scratching their heads over her not being among the 40 models ... especially considering how she's the highest-paid supermodel of all time.

So the obvious question ... what gives? And more importantly ... is this a snub/slight????

TMZ did some digging and as it turns out, none of the Kardashians or Jenners have ever appeared on the cover of British Vogue ... hence them not being among the "Vogue icons" in this sweet farewell to Ed.

Ya can't really be snubbed from something if you were never involved in the first place -- so that answers that. Yes, the KarJenners have graced multiple Vogue covers over the years -- from many different counties -- but none have ever been on British Vogue specifically.

Of course, Gisele is the more glaring hole ... you see, she's huge in the modeling world, period, and appeared in the 2022 edition of British Vogue. So she does have history.

We have an answer for that as well -- sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Gisele was actually invited to take part in this photoshoot, but she wasn't available on the day the shoot happened. In other words ... no snub for Gisele either -- just scheduling conflicts.

Pitchforks down, folks ... all things have explanations, and not everything is drama.

Tracy McGrady is adamant Kobe Bryant is a top-five NBA player ever ... and he says anyone who disagrees with that sentiment should "get the f*** outta here!!"

The seven-time All-Star went on an expletive-laden rant on the topic on his Instagram page this week ... explaining that anyone who thinks Kobe doesn't deserve a spot amongst basketball's GOATs is just being "disrespectful."

He said those who argue that Bryant's resume deserves to be knocked down due to the talent surrounding him don't have any leg whatsoever to stand on.

"Did Magic Johnson play with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was an all-time leading scorer?" McGrady said. "But you want to sit here and talk about Kobe playing with Shaq?!"

McGrady -- who played 15 seasons in the NBA -- continued to make his point ... saying Bryant won two NBA Finals without O'Neal. He added that if Kobe is widely considered the closest thing to Michael Jordan, how can he not be considered a top-five player?

"Tell me the other motherf***er that's close to MJ that played the game?!" he said. "Ain't nobody else close to MJ."

"So how is [Kobe] excluded out of the conversation if he's close to MJ and MJ is the greatest of all time?! Help me understand that ... They so disrespectful when it comes to Bean."

Fans and NBA stars all over agreed with T-Mac in the comment section of his post ... with Stephon Marbury, Richard Hamilton, Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson all leaving notes of support.
