Sydney Sweeney's singing those breakup blues away -- she let loose at a karaoke bar in Key West, Florida last night while taking on Adele's breakup anthem, "Someone Like You."

We've got video of Sydney's late-night escapades at Key West's Backyard Bar Wednesday ... and she was having the time of her life, belting out the recognizable tune with some pals -- although it's unclear if they're her pals or some of the locals an eyewitness said she hopped onstage with.

Clothes? Who needs 'em?!? Certainly not this guy -- who ditched the pants and let it all breathe in just his undies, without a care in the world!

Tish Cyrus might’ve smoothed things over with her daughter Noah after the whole man-stealing speculation -- but let’s be real, it kinda feels like she’s tiptoeing on thin ice again!

Catch this clip -- Noah was talking all about her fiancé Pinkus on Tish’s "Sorry We’re Cyrus" podcast, but honestly? Mama bear sounded more obsessed with the guy than Noah did!

Tish was gushing over Pinkus -- maybe a little too much -- dropping "I love him" like it was nothing. Noah even straight-up said she was shook when she found out her mom had been name-dropping her man on the regular in past podcast episodes!

Haley Joel Osment caused a stir at the chair lift before his arrest at California's Mammoth Mountain resort earlier this month -- and we have it on video.

Here’s something you’d never catch on the TMZ Celebrity Tour … Rob Lowe getting mistaken for John Stamos on another company's celeb bus ride -- and let's just say, he did NOT let it slide!

Rob dropped the awks moment on his IG this week -- strolling up to the Hollywood Beverly Hills Tours bus and asking the passengers for a live identity correction after the guide boldly misidentified him as the "Full House" star ... and while he tried to laugh it off, you can totally clock some low-key rage bubbling under that perfect smile!

While Rob and John are the same age and share that classic heartthrob aura, the passengers didn't miss a beat, they knew exactly who he was -- leaving the tour guide red-faced.

Eric Mabius made sure cops knew he'd been cast in law enforcement roles for tons of Hollywood productions before they threw handcuffs on him and stuffed him in the back of a squad car ... new police video shows.

Bill Maher is scoffing at the far left for slamming him over his visit to the White House ... to paraphrase Mark Antony, he feels he should not be buried, he should be praised!

As for his evaluation of Trump -- that he was charming, jovial and even self-effacing -- Bill laughed at his critics, wondering if they wanted him to lie. As he said, what's the option -- pulling a Gretchen Whitmer, where she covered her face when a photog snapped a shot in the Oval Office?

Akon is happily joining the country music boom ... but unlike other rappers, he plans on re-recording his whole discography -- and giving people that honky-tonk twang!!!

Jesus can't take the wheel of one Louisiana bus -- 'cause it was blown sky high after the fuel tank ruptured and erupted ... and, the rapturous explosion was caught on video.

The incident went down in Shreveport, LA Wednesday ... with the Shreveport Fire Department releasing a statement claiming firefighters arrived on scene to find a SporTran bus burning -- with flames shooting out of the gas tank.

Conor McCourt -- a former New York City Police officer with years of experience analyzing video footage -- says in a sworn deposition that he has reviewed the clip CNN published, as well as another video of surveillance footage that was recorded on an iPhone 6 directly.

It's a bit confusing, but basically McCourt takes issue with both versions he's seen, first claiming the CNN vid appears sped up because it was converted from one file type to another in a process called "transcoding" ... which he claims adds, subtracts and duplicates frames.
