Rapper Key Glock potentially had the best year of his musical career in 2025, yet the Memphis native didn't wait for January's ball drop to kick things into high gear!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Mr. Glizock at LAX on Thursday ... he's set to follow up his critically acclaimed "Glockaveli" album from this year with a new project titled "The 16th Letter" at the top of the new year.

KG says he'll be framing his music outside the box of what he normally does in the studio, but when it comes to New Year's resolutions, he's not changing anything ... because he doesn't believe in them!!!

Former "American Idol" star David Archuleta may be going back to the stars ... "Star Search," that is, because he tells TMZ he's super curious about the upcoming reboot.

Here's the deal ... the talent variety show "Star Search," which aired from the '80s through the early 2000s, is making a comeback on Netflix with a reboot that will be hosted by Anthony Anderson premiering early next year.

David told TMZ reporter Charlie Neff he's stoked to see how the show will be different -- and yet retain its original magic -- from when he competed on it at age 12 in 2003.

The "Crush" singer tells us ... appearing and winning the title of Junior Vocal Champion was an important milestone in his career and helped prepare him for when he took a run on "American Idol," where he nabbed 2nd place, losing to winner David Cook in 2008.

David -- who is gearing up for his "My Only Wish" Christmas tour -- is not only excited to see the reboot ... he also tells us he would love to participate as a judge, helping to shape the lives of up-and-coming musicians.

Sydney Sweeney is finally addressing the age-old question that’s been on everyone’s lips since she burst onto the scene ... and yep, it’s exactly what you think it’s about. 🍒

Scott Weiland's son is posting some worrying messages to Instagram ... claiming he'd rather be dead than live his life as his father did.

Noah Weiland posted to his Instagram story Thursday afternoon ... sharing a text post written on a blurry gray background which begins, "I'd rather be DEAD" -- a pretty drastic statement, though he tries to qualify it by explaining he'd rather be dead than live as his dad did.

He goes on, "Regardless of all this, it's been a long journey. Can't wait to see him again & thank you for all your support along the way. Won't ever forget this."

Andy Dick has gotten lucky if he mainly uses crack cocaine to get high, our law enforcement sources say ... because fentanyl isn't generally mixed in with the drug.

Two current federal Drug Enforcement Administration officials tell TMZ ... mixing fentanyl with crack's a fool's errand. The substance burns off with heat -- so putting it in the drug wouldn't produce the desired effect.

The chemical structure of fentanyl breaks down once someone lights up the rocks ... and it loses its potency. We're told the drug will still have some effect, but it simply won't be as strong -- and it certainly won't have a lethal effect on a person.

Justin Bieber can't forget where he came from. The singer revisited the bowling alley from his iconic "Baby" music video 15 years after the smash hit solidified him as a global star with huge staying power.

In a video posted to Instagram, Bieber belted out the lyrics to the 2010 hit in the abandoned space where he had an epic dance-off to impress his dream girl more than a decade ago.

Fans will remember, "Baby" came out roughly one year after JB's debut single, "One Time." The melodious track charted extremely well, but it wasn't until his album, "My World 2.0," that he became a truly global superstar.

Lili Reinhart’s keeping it real ... revealing she was finally told she has endometriosis after undergoing surgery -- a hard-won answer that came only after years of doctors brushing her off.

In an IG post Thursday, the actress shared pics from the hospital after her laparoscopic surgery ... explaining she’d seen multiple urologists, gynecologists, and hit up three hospitals, yet not one doctor brought up endometriosis. Instead, she was told last year she had interstitial cystitis -- and there was no cure.

It wasn’t until she saw two different pelvic floor therapists that endometriosis was even floated as a possible cause of her pain -- which pushed her to demand an MRI -- finally leading to the real diagnosis.
