Justin Bieber may be headed to one of the biggest stages in sports ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's in talks to perform at halftime of the FIFA World Cup final.

FIFA World Cup sources tell TMZ ... FIFA officials are discussing bringing Justin aboard an already stacked lineup featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS for the July 19 spectacle at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Bringing the Biebs into the fold would make sense for FIFA.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were front and center at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Inglewood, CA just a few weeks ago ... and Justin even surprised VIP guests with an intimate backstage performance of "Yukon."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum Peter Thomas is set to start filming a new reality show following his release from prison, TMZ has learned. 

In new court docs obtained by TMZ, Peter asked the judge presiding over his criminal case about unpaid employment taxes and said he had been approached about a new reality show about rebuilding his life since leaving prison in February. 

He explained he is well-known from his days on 'RHOA' and that he has a large following on social media and as a public speaker. He said he has been using his platform to inform the public of the importance of paying their taxes. 

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding just got a very cool delivery ... air conditioning reinforcements rolled into Madison Square Garden Thursday ahead of the big day.

TMZ cameras spotted multiple industrial AC units being delivered to MSG ahead of the star-studded wedding festivities ... the latest sign organizers aren't leaving anything to chance as temperatures soar.

Funny enough, the deliveries come as Mayor Zohran Mamdani is urging New Yorkers to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees during the heat wave.

But sources familiar with MSG's air-conditioning system tell TMZ ... that's simply not an option inside the arena.

David Hearn is blasting the grand jury indictment that led to a felony charge against him after his Reflecting Pool arrest ... he says he's innocent and "these charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American."

The former Olympian's legal team tells TMZ ... "This indictment reflects the Administration’s effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover."

As we reported ... Hearn was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of destruction of federal property worth $1,000 or more.

The case is being prosecuted by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia ... she's adamant Hearn defiled the monument when he allegedly ripped a piece of liner out of the Pool.

Hearn was arrested for the alleged vandalization a couple weeks ago. The 67-year-old was held at the Park Police facility for about five hours before he was released that same day.

Since then, the Olympian has held his stance he did not destroy, break, or peel off any portion of the Reflecting Pool.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding prep just got a little sweeter ... an ice cream truck has rolled up outside Madison Square Garden.

With NYC roasting under nearly triple-digit temperatures, the timing couldn't be much better. We can't say exactly who the frozen treats are for ... but we got video of it rolling up to MSG.

It's just the latest clue outside MSG as the countdown to the couple's massive celebration dips below 24 hours, and the activity outside the MSG hasn't slowed down one bit.

We've spent the week watching the clues pile up. Lighting rigs, staging equipment and mystery cargo kicked things off ... followed by towering drapes, gazebos, artificial trees, food deliveries and all kinds of supplies rolling through the Garden's doors.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren't exempt from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 78-degree suggestion ... though they'll have to "Shake It Off" anyway ... because MSG has an unconventional temperature system.

Here's the deal ... a city official tells TMZ the mayor's recommendation of setting the AC at 78 was a suggestion for all five boroughs of New York -- including Manhattan, where MSG sits.

In other words, MSG isn't exempt from the mayor's suggestion made on social media to all New Yorkers this morning ... though, again, it's just a suggestion -- not an edict from above.

It looks like double trouble for Taylor Frankie Paul ... because her ex, Dakota Mortensen, has hired the same legal team as her ex-husband, Tate Paul, in a renewed court battle over parental custody.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Dakota retained Steven Russell and Chad Shattuck, Tate's long-time lawyers.

Taylor's exes are ramping up their cases against her over custody of her three kids. Previously, Dakota was using Joel Kittrell.

TMZ broke the story ... a judge denied Tate's request for a temporary restraining order -- but he's asking the court to take another look with more submitted exhibits, including alleged incriminating text messages.

Harvey Weinstein's recovering nicely after suffering heart failure ... according to his longtime representative.

Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ ... Weinstein is "out of the woods for now" and feeling fine. The antibiotics treated his pneumonia, and his heart is doing much better because the doctors are monitoring it with an EKG.

We're told Weinstein is already able to walk around.

It's a huge improvement from his previous condition ... remember, Weinstein suffered heart failure behind bars at Rikers Island weeks ago because of the pneumonia, and he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is on his way to the monumental Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding ... and it looks like he's got his blue suit in tow!!!

TMZ obtained a photo of George in the Nashville airport Wednesday night ... he's sitting with his wife Claire at a bar, and he's got a suit in a bag hanging off the back of his chair.

George and Claire revealed last week they scored a wedding invite, with George telling Entertainment Tonight the only thing he knew about his NFL buddy's top-secret wedding was that he was wearing a blue suit.

Taylor Frankie Paul's custody fight with ex-husband Tate Paul isn't over yet ... because after a judge denied his request for a temporary restraining order, he's asking the court to take another look.

According to online court records, Tate filed a motion for reconsideration ... arguing the court should revisit its decision denying the TRO.

Along with the motion, Tate submitted several exhibits, including text messages he says show Taylor refusing to disclose why she was receiving inpatient treatment, keeping him in the dark about a mental health crisis, and admitting she stops assaulting boyfriend Dakota Mortensen when he records their interactions.

OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney's legal team says Christian Obumseli -- Courtney's boyfriend who she allegedly killed during a violent confrontation in 2022 -- isn't the harmless victim prosecutors portray him as ... they say he had an arrest warrant for animal cruelty when he died.

Courtney's lawyers submitted a new filing, obtained by TMZ, this week in which they note prosecutors may wish to present evidence claiming Christian was peaceful, and not the aggressor in the confrontation they say led to his death.

In anticipation of this, Courtney's lawyers are asking the court to allow them to present counterevidence in the form of an arrest warrant for animal cruelty issued by law enforcement in Texas against Christian.

Lil Wayne went MIA for his concert in Maine, and now we may know why ... he decided he wanted to party instead of perform.

The rapper was seen present at Michael Rubin's annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons Wednesday night ... alongside other A-listers like DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Jake Paul, Kevin Durant and many, many more.

It looks like Weezy didn't flake on Michael's party ... but, clearly, that wasn't the case the night before when he dipped out of his own concert in Maine without even touching the stage.

Addison Rae's getting dragged into a nasty court battle involving her dad, Monty Lopez, and his estranged wife ... he's asking a judge to step in and stop his ex from posting about his famous daughter amid their bitter split ...TMZ has learned. 

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Monty claims Kaitlyn Lopez violated a temporary protective order he obtained against her earlier this year ... alleging she's reached out to him multiple times, despite being ordered not to do so.

The bigger issue for Monty ... he says Kaitlyn "continues to post my daughter and my family on multiple occasions" ... and he claims his ex has posted photos of Addison on her Instagram story and added Addison's songs to her social media posts. 

Rick Ross is making his case for getting a piece of the Miami Dolphins ... telling TMZ Sports he wouldn't be a regular celebrity owner -- he'd hustle every day to help the team!!

Rozay joined Lucas Widman on the TMZ Sports set ... and he explained why he's dead serious on wanting an official role with the NFL squad.

The rap great said he'd focus on growing the org.'s relationship with the locals and making it feel more like a family -- 'cause the current owner, Stephen Ross, has everything else covered ... and he thinks he's doing a good job with that.

Heather Locklear’s boyfriend, Lorenzo Lamas, has almost cleared the way for a potential marriage between the two ... TMZ has learned.

On June 30, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge signed off on Lorenzo’s request to speed up his divorce from Kenna Nicole Lamas, which will officially bring an end to his sixth marriage in November 2026. 

Lorenzo told the court Kenna had failed to respond to the divorce he filed in July 2025 … following less than 2 years of marriage. In his paperwork, the '90s star asked that neither party be awarded spousal support. 

She's already got the massive castle and white staircase ... but it looks like Taylor Swift's love story won't be complete without adding a gazebo into the mix.

TMZ obtained video of crews loading what appears to be a gazebo into Madison Square Garden ... just days ahead of the huge 1,000-person event the pop star is throwing for her wedding weekend with Travis Kelce.

Taylor's clearly transforming MSG into a real-life fairy tale ... as you know, she's rolling out a purple carpet on the steps of the venue.
