Ariana Grande allegedly praised her viral look-alike Paige Niemann while seemingly dropping a subtle hint about her controversial impersonations ... with Ariana telling Paige she's beautiful as she is, without trying to make her "face look more similar to someone else's."

Paige claims the pop star sent her a DM years ago, and the note was unveiled in Paige's new "Turning The Paige" docuseries.

Ariana told Paige she's "flattered" but said she's stunning on her own, explaining, "... you're very beautiful as YOURSELF. without all the make up and trying to make your face look more similar to someone else's and whatnot."

7/7/26 6:39 AM PT -- The drive-by shooting that killed influencer DreamDoll Brii was caught on video ... and it's tough to watch.

Influencer DreamDoll Brii -- real name Brianna Johnson -- has died after being shot as she was leaving a party in Florida, TMZ has learned.

Police say the victims were driving a fluorescent green Lamborghini SUV around 5:30 a.m. Sunday when shots rang out. According to the Miramar Police Department, the SUV traveled about a block before crashing.

Cops say the vehicle reached the intersection, a white sedan pulled alongside the driver’s side and opened fire ... striking three occupants.

Police rushed to the scene after receiving a ShotSpotter alert and found the Lamborghini had hit stop sign. All three people inside were rushed to nearby hospitals in critical condition. Police later confirmed the female victim, Brianna, died from her injuries.

Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss said detectives are still trying to determine whether the Lamborghini was followed into the neighborhood by the shooter.

"Certainly they targeted this particular car for some reason," said Moss. "We're trying to figure out why" ... adding investigators currently have only limited information about the suspect. It seems they have some profile of the shooter, but they haven't been able to ID him/her.

Brianna had built a large following on social media, where she was best known for her viral track 'Bend Ova,' which became a popular TikTok sound. She had more than 370,000 followers on TikTok and another 85,000 on Instagram.
