Bad Bunny won big at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards Thursday night, walking away with 5 new trophies to further cement his status as a Latin music icon.
Most notably, the "DtMF" hitmaker was awarded the prestigious Album of the Year award for his highly acclaimed "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" album and dedicated the award to "all the youth of Latin America."
He also seemingly pushed back at all the backlash he's received after being announced as the Super Bowl LX headliner, noting ... "There are many ways of being patriotic and defending our homelands. We chose music."
Salt-N-Pepa were officially enshrined in the Rock Hall of Fame on Saturday -- and celebrated like queens in Hollywood with a few of their famous friends!!!
TMZ Hip Hop obtained a video of Salt-N-Pepa -- and Spinderella, of course -- kicking it at the W Hollywood following the let-out of the ceremony for the official after-party, presented by Amazon Music and produced by Joey Harris Inc.
Missy Elliott, Mona Scott, and Maxwell all came through to show love -- and those were just the M's!!!
The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony delivered a night of pure nostalgia, powerhouse performances, and emotional tributes with Salt-N-Pepa, OutKast, and The White Stripes leading the charge.
Salt-N-Pepa kicked things off in full "Push It" mode ... rocking their iconic multicolored leather jackets and igniting the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles Saturday with a medley of "Shoop," "Let's Talk About Sex," and "What a Man."
"To all the guys who had a crush on us and had our posters on your wall, you're welcome." — Watch @TheSaltNPepa officially accept their induction into the Rock Hall.
"This is for every woman who picked up a mic when they told her she couldn't," Salt said as DJ Spinderella made history as the first female DJ ever inducted.
The nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards are officially in ... and it's nothing short of a powerhouse lineup, featuring artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar -- and Bad Bunny leading the charge!
The Recording Academy revealed the nominations Friday morning ... with a group of past Grammy-winners helping make the big announcement -- including Lizzo, Sam Smith, Brandi Carlile, Doechii, KAROL G and more.
In the major categories ... Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator, Lady Gaga, and Leon Thomas are just a few of the stars who scored nominations for Album of the Year -- while Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Bruno Mars got the nod for Record of the Year.
The 2026 Grammy Awards noms are in, and the Best Rap Album category has proven to be an interesting scenario ... the hip hop stars are intertwined on each other's projects!!!
Kendrick Lamar's rookie-rapper promoting "GNX" album got spotlighted ... and the anti-Drake artist is also featured on Clipse's "Let God Sort Em Out" alongside Tyler, The Creator ... whose own "CHROMAKOPIA" album is nominated with a GloRilla feature!!!
Dawg… the Grammy voting members list needs to be made public.
All this secret, behind closed doors stuff shouldn’t be allowed 😒 It’s getting the same “hidden Epstein list” treatment and that needs to end.
Clipse are also featured on JID's "God Does Like Ugly" album, and GloRilla's breakout "Glorious" album stands as the only female-helmed project in the lineup.
Clipse and Kendrick's "Chain & Whips" collab is especially special ... it's also nominated for a Best Rap Performance. Kendrick and SZAare also up for both Song & Record of the Year with their supreme chart-topper, "Luther."
Head of DC Studios James Gunn says 2025 might be the best year for hip hop in years and shouts out Earl Sweatshirt, LaRussell, Ghais Guevara, Abhi the Nomad, Open Mike Eagle & Aesop Rock
2025 is being touted as one of the best years for hip hop in recent memory -- just ask James Gunn -- but fans are piping hot mad with the omission of Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist's "Alfredo 2" project -- especially considering the first one was nominated at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Clipse, Kendrick and Tyler's projects are up for Album of the Year as well ... Gunn isn't capping!!!
The competition is stiff, but at least someone else will share in the victory!!!
The Golden Globes have announced they'll have a Best Podcast category next year ... but Adam22 told us at LAX yesterday to prepare to be disappointed.
Some considered the Globes move to include podcasts as the latest attempt to remain relevant ... the awards show made a similar move when they added diversity to its voting body in 2023 -- but Adam22 sees it differently.
He says it's "old media basically feeling like they can be the judge, jury and executioner for new media."
Bad Bunny just keeps racking up the wins -- and probably driving his haters nuts -- after snagging the "Best Artist of the 21st Century" award at the Latin Billboard Awards.
Check out his big moment ... Bad Bunny hit the stage Thursday as legendary Puerto Rican actress Rita Moreno handed him his milestone trophy after praising him for being an artist with immense "strength and passion."
As for the "DtMF" hitmaker, he agreed he's worked hard to reach this pinnacle point in his career -- but doesn't forget to mention his team hustling there right alongside him, or the other Latin music artists also driving the genre to the mainstream.
9/15 6:11 AM PT -- President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America tells TMZ ... “What an incredible night! Our heartfelt thanks to Nate Bargatze, CBS, and the Emmy Awards team for supporting Boys & Girls Clubs in such a big way. It was a true honor for our Club Kids to share the stage with the night’s winners, especially knowing some of our alumni have gone on to become Emmy winners themselves."
"We are also deeply grateful to all who kept their speeches short in the spirit of this fun challenge and to maximize the impact for our young people. The generous $350,000 donation from CBS and Nate is a powerful investment in the dreams and great futures of millions of young people nationwide.”
Hollywood's elite are usually known for their charitable contributions ... but, Sunday night they took a whole lot more than they gave -- 'cause they bankrupted a $100K pot meant for charity!
Here's the deal ... in the lead-up to the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards host Nate Bargatze told multiple outlets he had a way to keep the show on track in terms of time.
His plan was simple ... he was putting up $100K for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America-- and, each time an Emmy winner went up to give a speech, they had a chance to add to the total.
The 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards are in full force right now ... and, we've got all the photos from inside the ceremony to capture the vibe of the evening.
Hopefully, no crimes are committed tonight ... but, if something does go down, the "Only Murders in the Building" cast -- Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short -- are on the case!
Michelle Williams and her husband, Thomas Kail, tightly gripped each other's hands in their matching white outfits ... dressed to the nines for their date night.
Stephen Colbert's showing it's never too early to start job hunting ... bringing his résumé to the Emmys to network since he's getting laid off next year.
The late-night talk show host took the stage to present the first award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series ... and, he kicked off the show by asking if anyone's hiring.
Of course, Colbert found out last month that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" won't be renewed for next season -- in fact, CBS is doing away with "The Late Show" franchise entirely -- and, he told the audience he and 200 qualified staffers will need jobs come June.
Jenna Ortega set the tone for the 2025 Emmy Awards early ... stunning in a barely-there top that left little to the imagination -- and proved to be one of the hottest red carpet looks!
The TV star arrived in a blouse of what looked like loosely patched together baubles ... which revealed her ample cleavage and her toned stomach.
It's a daring look -- more so than Pedro Pascal or Sydney Sweeney who stuck to more traditional red carpet get-ups ... though Justine Lupe also got in on the skin-baring trend at the event.
Eric Dane isn't letting his ALS diagnosis keep him from the biggest night in television ... he's set to hit the Emmys stage this weekend, months after sharing his big health update.
The Television Academy announced a lineup of presenters ahead of Sunday's awards show, confirming the "Euphoria" star would be attending the 77th annual Emmys alongside Stephen Colbert, Jenna Ortega, Walton Goggins, Angela Bassett, Sydney Sweeney, among others.
Eric's addition to the big show is certainly noteworthy given his current health situation. Remember, back in April, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum shared he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS.
Mariah Carey's clearly not onstage a ton anymore ... 'cause her choreography was a bit awkward onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards -- including a fake slap she really didn't sell.
The singer-songwriter took the stage at UBS Arena in New York Sunday night to perform some of her hits and accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award -- a lifetime achievement presented at the ceremony each year.
After finishing up a song, a woman in an all-red outfit -- who Mariah called Bianca, a reference to a character from the 1999 "The Heartbreaker" music video -- came out ... and, Mariah pretended to smack her in the face -- all rehearsed choreogrphy.
Lady Gaga gave a speedy speech at the MTV Video Music Awards ... 'cause she's a busy artist whose gotta put on a show across town soon!
The singer-songwriter was named Artist of the Year at the VMAs Sunday night ... and, she took the stage to thank her fans and her fiancé Michael Polansky -- becoming visibly choked up as she did so.
LG then said she's sorry she can't stick around ... but, she's got a good reason -- she's actually performing at Madison Square Garden tonight!
Rick Davies -- a founding member of the band Supertramp -- has died ... according to the group.
The singer-songwriter passed away in his Long Island home on Friday after a long battle with cancer, the band announced in a public statement. The group offered its condolences to his widow, Sue Davies.
Rick founded Supertramp in 1970 with fellow singer and songwriting partner Roger Hodgson ... and the two teamed up with Dougie Thomson, Bob Siebenberg and John Helliwell to form the original lineup form 1973 to 1983.
It's VMA's day, so we're taking you back in time with iconic moments that totally changed pop culture -- like daring performances from Madonnaand Britney Spears... and Artist of The Year winners such as Camila Cabelloand Justin Bieber-- but which shining star are you awarding as winner?! It's showtime, y'all! Who'd You Rather?!
Goin' strong since 1984, MTV's put up some stellar VMA hosts over the years ... Miley Cyrustwerked her way to the mic in 2015, Katy Perry was a 'Firework' on the stage in 2017, and Megan Thee Stallion struck gold with her stage 'fits ... but who are you crowning, queen?!
Beyonce and Taylor Swift have lost count of their VMA's but not to worry 'cuz we did some digging: BOTH Queen B and T-Swift have a whopping collection of 30 Moon Person(s) ... Who's comin' out on top this year?!
Hit up the gallery 'cuz there's more fun to be had ... YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
