A tribute to the late Kobe and Gigi Bryant was defaced with graffiti … with the mural becoming a canvas for an apparent beef between street artists.
The vandalism was spotted recently … with a piece depicting the Lakers legend in uniform and kissing his young daughter on the cheek being covered in white paint and a graffiti tag.
In the top corner, where the original artist’s name “Sloe Motions” appeared, it looks like someone scribbled out the tag and wrote “Keep running your mouth, p***y.”
That warning was also crossed out … with another message popping up underneath — “Leave a name, p***y! Don’t B scared.”
Kobe and Gigi art is common in L.A. following their tragic Jan. 2020 deaths — there are hundreds throughout the area alone — and while the city is no stranger to graffiti, it’s widely understood Bryant murals should go untouched.
No word on who was behind the vandalism … but it’s safe to say the culprit(s) not only pissed off the original artist, but the basketball community as well.
A fundraiser was launched to help restore the mural to its original form.
Jeremy Renner is giving a shocking account of his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident … saying at one point, he briefly died.
The Marvel star spells it all out in his new memoir, “My Next Breath,” detailing everything that came with getting mowed by a 14,000-pound snowplow.
In an excerpt from the book, according to UsWeekly, Renner describes the agony he faced after saving his young nephew from the machine, lying helpless after breaking over 30 bones.
He says, “After about 30 minutes on the ice, of breathing manually for so long, an effort akin to doing 10 or 20 push-ups per minute for half an hour … that’s when I died,” adding, “I died, right there on the driveway to my house.”
Renner is confident he died … saying a neighbor saw him turn a “gray-green color” before he closed his eyes and his heart rate “bottomed out at 18.”
Jeremy recounts a sense of euphoria, claiming his life flashed before him, saying, “When I died, what I felt was energy, a constantly connected, beautiful and fantastic energy. There was no time, place, or space, and nothing to see, except a kind of electric, two-way vision made from strands of that inconceivable energy.”
Almost like a scene from a movie … Renner explains he then felt a force telling him to not “let go,” and bringing him back to life.
The actor now sees his brutal accident as a “glory moment” and proudly touts that he “didn’t f***ing die.”
It’s been a miraculous road to recovery, no doubt … and Renner has every right to wear it like a badge of honor.
The lawyer representing the woman accusing Shannon Sharpe of rape will not be releasing the video that allegedly depicts the two engaging in sex … calling it “key evidence” in their case against the former NFL star.
Tony Buzbee tells TMZ Sports … he and his client — who filed a lawsuit against Sharpe earlier this month for sexual assault using the pseudonym Jane Doe — have zero plans right now to put the footage out to the media.
“The only reason you know about the existence of a video recording is that Mr. Sharpe specifically referenced it in his bulls*** statement,” Buzbee said. “The contents of the video was shared during the mediation process with Sharpe’s attorneys. Again, Sharpe and his team disclosed that, not us. Sharpe himself was offered on more than one occasion to view it himself. He declined. We’ve never made any claims or threats about it and won’t do so.”
“And no,” he added, “we won’t be ‘releasing’ the video as it is key evidence in the case and will be treated as such.”
Sharpe first made reference to the video on April 22 — two days after Doe filed her suit. He stated in an Instagram post it’s “a 30-second clip of a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty and play into every stereotype you could possibly imagine.”
He then contended the vid “should actually be 10 minutes or so” — before he implored Buzbee to put it out to the public in its entire, unedited state.
Doe is suing Sharpe for $50 million … alleging he raped her on more than one occasion toward the end of their nearly two-year-long relationship. Sharpe and his legal team have been adamant the Pro Football Hall of Famer committed no wrongdoing — and they’ve repeatedly called her suit a “shakedown” attempt.
Sharpe has stepped away from his gig at ESPN while vowing to battle the “false and disruptive allegations set against me.”
Hader shares how Wong helped after his three kids became “very worried” about him — before praising his children for their resilience.
Bill Hader is opening up about how the devastation of the LA wildfires affected him.
The former Saturday Night Live actor recalled his experience for the first time on a recent episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, after his home was damaged in the blaze.
“There’s just devastation all around,” he said. “It was no good. I was just in total shock.”
Hader credits his “great support system of friends,” including his girlfriend, comedian Ali Wong — who helped him go shopping for new clothes.
“It was very sweet. It meant a lot to me,” he said. “My kids are like, ‘You’re living in your pajamas,’ they’re very worried. And I told her about that and she was like, ‘Let me take you to get some clothes.'”
Hader shares three daughters — Hannah, Harper and Hayley — with his ex-wife Maggie Carey.
While he said the hardest part was knowing his kids lost so much, he added they have been “resilient” through the whole situation.
“Everybody’s like, ‘Are you there for your kids?’ And it’s like, ‘No, I’m getting more from them,'” he said. “I’m so inspired by them and their ability to move and adapt and be positive.”
The actor was in Malibu at the time, along with Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen filming a Volkswagen commercial, when the fires beginning ripping through the Pacific Palisades,
“Kristen [Wiig], that morning said, ‘There’s a really bad windstorm coming, I’m really concerned about fires.’ First thing she said to me. And then we’re shooting and I look up, I saw smoke and the guys go, ‘Oh, don’t worry, that’s in the Palisades.’ I go, ‘I live in the Palisades’, and it was just dead silence. Then I was like, ‘I got to go,'” he said.
When he arrived to his neighborhood, the only way he could access his home was to go up with a news crew.
“I just went up and I go, ‘I have medication’, which is true,” he insisted.
“I need to go and get it. And they said, ‘No, it’s too dangerous.’ And I saw news crews and I literally just went up to them and I was like, ‘you recognize me?'” he recalled. “And they were like, ‘no.’ And I was like, ‘all right, I go to the next one.'”
“I was like, ‘you recognize me?’ And the guy was like, ‘hey, no way. Hey, what’s going on?’ So that was the only way I could get up there was if I went up with the news crew,” he shared.
The 2025 Los Angeles wildfires caused significant damage and devastation to the community, claiming at least 29 lives, destroying over 16,251 structures, and burning over 57,000 acres.
Blake Lively was roasted by some eagle-eyed fans who noticed that she suffered a wardrobe malfunction while on the New York City red carpet for her new movie, “Another Simple Favor,” over the weekend.
The “Gossip Girl” star, 37, stepped out looking her best at the Jazz at Lincoln Center while wearing a blue gown with cutouts along the bodice that accentuated her figure.
Blake Lively was roasted for suffering an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while walking the most recent “Another Simple Favor” red carpet.
Despite not a hair being out of place — and her makeup looking immaculate — some fans were more focused on how her spray tan had rubbed off her arms and onto her dress.
One person took to Instagram to comment on the look, writing, “The body make up all over her dress is sending me.”
“All the tanner stains around the armpit,” another pointed out.
“Gross, you can see her spray tan on her dress. Under the armpit. For a person who made fun of her co-star’s large nose (among various others she has publicly mocked), she has opened herself up to the same type of scrutiny,” a third person wrote on X, referencing the legal battle between Lively and Justin Baldoni.
“The body make up all over her dress is sending me,” one person wrote.
“Gross, you can see her spray tan on her dress. Under the armpit,” a second shared.
Others, however, could not care less about the stains and simply applauded how great she looked.
“She is perfection it’s unreal ,” one person commented under Page Six’s Instagram post.
A second one gushed, “Who is dressing her?!??! They deserve an award. She has slayed every red carpet, I am living for her hair!!!!”
“This dress is everything,” a third commented under a separate Instagram photo of Lively.
Lively stepped out on the red carpet with husband Ryan Reynolds.
She stars in the movie alongside Anna Kendrick.
Over the last few days, Lively has seemingly left her legal drama with Baldoni behind her as she focuses on promoting her new movie alongside Anna Kendrick.
For the most recent premiere, the “Age of Adeline” star stepped out with her husband of 13 years, Ryan Reynolds, as they put on a united front.
The couple, along with publicist Leslie Sloane, were sued for defamation and extortion by Baldoni — who starred in and directed “It Ends With Us” — after Lively accused him of sexual harassment.
Baldoni has shut down the allegations and the trial between the two co-stars is set to start in 2026.
“I don’t know how it feels to be a 14-year-old boy receiving photos of a girl. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I don’t think he was being malicious showing them to his friends. He was a kid,” Beer said of the incident.
Madison Beer is using her past as a way to move forward.
In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, the 26-year-old singer opened up about one of the darkest chapters in her life — the time nude footage of her as a teen was leaked online.
And while she’s spoken about that life-defining moment in the past, Beer’s latest interview marked the first time she’s shared that she’s since spoken to the guy who shared the explicit content.
“The boy who the whole nude situation happened with, he reached out to me and was like, ‘I had no idea that I hurt you like this. I’m so sorry,'” Beer told the outlet.
She continued, “I don’t know how it feels to be a 14-year-old boy receiving photos of a girl. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I don’t think he was being malicious showing them to his friends. He was a kid.”
Back then, Beer says she felt double-betrayed — first by the ex who posted their explicit Snapchat messages, then by the trolls who slut-shamed her for it.
And while she said getting an apology was nice, the damage ran deep. But instead of letting those wounds define her, Beer’s decided to reclaim the narrative.
“I’ve had to sit people down and be like, ‘Hey, you owe me an apology for what you did to me when I was a kid.’ And a lot of the other people from that time in my life — I just have completely severed my relationships with,” she said. “I don’t care to make up with you or be cool with you.”
The “Make You Mine” singer also got real about her mental health struggles during that time, admitting that things got pretty dark.
“I tried to go the other way and kill myself, and don’t get me wrong, I still have those moments,” Beer admitted. “But I was like, ‘I need to first prove all these people wrong. And second, maybe I can help someone out there who sees themselves in me in any way.'”
Now, she’s focusing on healing, growth, and maybe helping others find their own strength in the chaos.
“Just because I’m okay with it now doesn’t mean I deserved to go through it,” she added. “I like to think that everything I went through and continue to go through is because I’m strong enough to survive and tell the story.”
Beer addressed the leak in 2023, in her memoir, The Half of It, where she recalled not feeling protection when her personal Snapchats went public.
Speaking with PEOPLEat the time, Beer said she hoped by sharing her “honest journey” and the dark moments she endured, it’ll give online bullies pause before the fire off nasty vitriol on the internet.
“I hope by sharing my honest journey that perhaps someone that wanted to hide behind a keyboard to be mean or poke fun at someone else’s expense thinks twice before they hit ‘send,'” Beer told the outlet. “I hope that we can find the strength to support each other and that we can work to treat others in the way we would want to be treated.”
Dua Lipa‘s latest outfit will get her fans feeling like they’re “Levitating” … ’cause she looked like she was floating while walking around New York City in a tight dress.
The singer-songwriter was out in the Big Apple Monday night for the 50th Chaplin Award Gala … wearing an all-black, slightly see-through ensemble that clung to her frame.
Dua’s skin seemed to show through the outfit … shining through the sheer material at her chest and hips.
DL added a massive gold piece of jewelry that hung down the center of her body, nearly reaching her navel.
Dua wore the outfit to the gala honoring Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodóvar … and, she was one of the stars who took the stage to pay tribute to him.
The pop star posted praise for Pedro shortly after the event … calling it an honor to pay tribute to him and mentioning his “genius” and “spirit.”
She added, “Your art has shaped the way I see beauty, pain, and desire but it’s your friendship that I will carry with me always.”
Dua Lipa looked like art herself in her mesh ensemble … and, we’d guess she’s shaping a whole lotta people’s desire — just like Pedro!
Eva Amurri went under the knife one year after her wedding cleavage “scandalized” critics.
Susan Sarandon’s daughter got a breast reduction and lift earlier this month and has been documenting her recovery via Instagram ever since.
Last week, she shared a post-op video taken as husband Ian Hock drove her home from the procedure.
Susan Sarandon’s daughter, Eva Amurri, is recovering from plastic surgery.
The 40-year-old had a breast reduction and lift earlier this month.
She had a “mental breakdown” before going under the knife.
The actress began the upload by admitting to having a “mental breakdown” before her plastic surgery — but clarified it was an “easy” and “great” experience.
Elsewhere in the emotional footage, Amurri broke down in tears over the “nice” snacks she got from her doctor.
The lifestyle blogger told her followers about her planned breast reduction on April 2, marking the occasion with a “bye bye boobies” cake.

The lifestyle blogger told her followers about her planned breast reduction on April 2, marking the occasion with a “bye bye boobies” cake.
However, the procedure was “easy” and “great.”
Amurri broke down her recovery on social media, including her bruising.
“I’m doing something I’ve wanted to do for 20 years,” she wrote at the time. “This will be my first surgery, and first time going under general anesthesia EVER.
“It feels surreal and empowering to be finally doing something that I had always wanted to do, but hadn’t simply because of fear of anesthesia,” Amurri continued.
Two weeks later, she broke down the realizations she was having amid her “chrysalis era” post-surgery.
Her surgery came one year after Amurri’s wedding dress “scandalized” haters.
She described treating herself to salon blowouts while unable to do her own hair, experiencing random bruising and more in the informative carousel.
“Resting is harder than I realized,” Amurri concluded. “I feel a lot of guilt when I’m not doing something that can be seen as objectively productive.”
The “Undateable” alum’s breasts made headlines in January 2024 when she clapped back at social media haters over her strapless wedding gown, saying her “size 32F boobs [had been] minding their business.”
Rick Ross says he has the blueprint for getting 100 humans to beat up a single gorilla — it’s all in guerrilla warfare recruiting!!!
TMZ Hip Hop linked up with the Biggest Boss in Burbank on Monday and got his take on the most viral topic of the moment.
The post has over 200 million views spawning varying opinions galore … but Ross has it all mapped out.
He’ll recruit the likes of a fearless African warrior, a G.I. Joe — even his brolic new artist Nino Breeze to give the gorilla the lump lumps.
Rozay tells us he’ll simply be the financier of the kamikaze mission … he wouldn’t want to upset his partners and investors if he gets gorilla monsooned!!!
The internet consensus says Ross is setting those guys up for 100 black coffins, but it’s anyone’s guess — until it happens in real life!!!
Monkey business aside, we also racked Ross’ brain about Drake’s pending lawsuit against UMG, considering he went hard at Drizzy during the 2024 Rap Wars.
Rozay can’t wrap his head around Drake’s woes at the moment — he has his 4th annual car show to promote.
It’s going down June 7 at his Promise Land estates in Georgia — bring out all the Chevys riding high and M-m-m-aybach motors!!!
Australian model Inka Williams celebrated Channing Tatum’s recent birthday by sharing a gushing tribute to him.
Per the Daily Mail, Williams, 25, took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, April 27, to post a photo collage of the actor, 45, and some heartfelt words.
“Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stupidest most gorgeous human ever !!!,” Williams wrote a mash-up of nine snaps that showed how close the pair have grown since sparking romance rumors in February. “Merci for making life beautiful and fun.”
Williams concluded her tribute with the words, “Jtm trop fort,” which translates to “I love you too much” in French. (According to Elle UK, Williams has a French mother and Australian father.)
The photo collage featured snaps of Tatum sitting on a palm tree, riding a motorized scooter and cooling off in a lagoon-style swimming pool, in what appeared to be photos taken in Bali, Indonesia, where Williams is based, according to IMDB.
Additional photos captured Tatum sweetly kissing the side of Williams’ head as the pair held hands, holding a bouquet of flowers, lounging about on a sofa and poking his tongue out alongside Williams in a Polaroid image.
The Instagram tribute followed a source exclusively telling Us Weekly last month that Tatum and Williams are “having fun” getting to know one another. “Channing is very interested in Inka, but is trying to take it easy,” the insider told Us on March 12. “He doesn’t want a serious relationship right now. Channing likes her fun and spirited personality.”
The pair were first spotted together at a pre-Oscars party on February 28. The event was held by the talent agency CAA at The Living Room in celebration of the agency’s Oscar-nominated clients.
Tatum’s ex-fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, whom he split from four months prior to the sighting, was also in attendance at the event, with a separate source telling Us that Kravitz, 36, “didn’t interact” with Tatum. The first source emphasized that despite that, there was no bad blood between the exes.
Kravitz spoke about the pair’s split for the first time during an interview with Elle, published on February 25. She told the outlet that the breakup did not affect how she feels about Blink Twice, the movie they worked on together, or her ex. “I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much. Even when you bring up how great his performance is, it warms my heart to hear that, and I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together,” she told the outlet.
News broke in October 2024 that Tatum and Kravitz called off their engagement after three years together.
