Rising country music star Tucker Wetmore is feeling the love from the ladies lately ... and the singer tells us it's all in the moves he dishes out on stage.
We spoke with Tucker at LAX as he's preparing to perform at Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin' Eve this year. He has thoughts about women sliding into his DMs and the endless TikTok admiration of his gyrating dance moves in concerts.
Check the clip ... when asked if he’s planning out his best moves to impress female fans, Tucker laughs and tells us it’s not conscious ... "I just move. I don't know how to explain it."
Danny Trejo had some sage advice when we caught up with him Wednesday afternoon at the L.A. Mission ... no matter what, don't lose hope.
The 81-year-old movie star chatted with us while volunteering to help families struggling this Thanksgiving. He says helping people has been key to his happiness.
Ice-T is cooling folks off about the chatter over his lighter "Law & Order: SVU" screentime ... telling us straight up, it’s not drama -- it’s the budget.
TMZ caught up with Ice as he and wife Coco -- who celebrated daughter Chanel’s 10th birthday at New Jersey’s American Dream Mall on Saturday -- and he told us SVU bosses basically had to pick who got the bigger budget ... his Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, or Kelli Giddish, AKA Detective Amanda Rollins.
While we might feel a little offended on his behalf that they didn't choose him, Ice says it’s all good ... the cutback means more family time, more side projects -- and he even dropped some inspo: "Give me free time, I find free dime."
Catch the full clip ... 'cause he also makes it clear SVU’s been good to him for 20-plus years -- so you won’t hear him bad-mouthing the squad anytime soon!
LeBron James was quite the football player in high school ... but how about football?? USMNT player Diego Luna tells TMZ Sports he woulda been a BEAST on the pitch in his prime!!
There's always an athlete claiming they could dominate another sport ... so when we ran into Luna at LAX this week, we had to ask which American jock could actually pull it off for the Red, White, and Blue.
"LeBron man, put him up top," Luna said. "Scoring goals, just bossing people around. That would be pretty sick."
The UFC champion openly admits Jake Paul would be a challenging fight in a boxing ring, before adding it's all pointless talk ... 'cause the MMA superstar is under contract with Dana White's organization!

Chris Eubank Jr. isn’t sugarcoating a thing -- there's REAL bad blood heading into his rematch with Conor Benn ... telling TMZ Sports he straight-up doesn't respect the guy.
The sequel to Eubank Jr. vs. Benn is slated for November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the UK -- a must-watch for any boxing fan, but especially if they tuned in to the first fight on April 26.
Lance Bass says the only way a potential *NSYNC biopic is ever getting off the ground is if he's a producer ... and he's already got an idea for how to tell the band's story.
We got Lance at LAX on a rainy Friday afternoon, and our photog asked him about a much-talked-about biopic that hasn't quite gotten off the ground.
Lance says it may well happen down the line, but he explains why there are some major hurdles to clear.
Booming alternative act BLK Odyssy is clarifying that he appreciates having his music spotlighted on Joe Budden's top-rated podcast -- even with The Weeknd and Travis Scott comparisons attached -- even if he doesn't agree with them!!!
BLK Odyssy dropped his new album on Friday and caught up with TMZ Hip Hopoutside Wasteland on Melrose Ave, where he laughed off his most viral moment to date.
The Joe Budden Network
Joe was singing Odyssy's praises on the pod, when his co-host Ice remarked he sounded like "House of Balloons"-era Weeknd music ... in which Joe sprinkled in a little LaFlame garnish for extra measure.
You never know what or who you're going to see on the TMZ Celebrity Tour ... and one bus full of lucky folks will live on forever in a Meghan Trainor music video ... because she included us in the final cut for "Still Don't Care."

Boosie Badazz will be facing a judge later this month when he's sentenced in California for gun possession ... but he's still making the most out of his November with a birthday album release with NBA YoungBoy!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Boosie today at Amy Ruth's chicken and waffles hut in Harlem, and we took a few minutes to remember Alaicha Johnson -- the young fan whose funeral Boosie performed at in October, after being contacted by her family.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Pepa and Spinderella outside Jennifer Hudson Studios in Burbank this week, and they were beaming in light of their massive accomplishments through hip hop culture.
The group took their lumps internally just like any long-running act, but Spin tells us they've displayed a solid sisterhood to the world to cap off their 40-year history.
Judy Garland paved the way for many actresses, but maybe none more than "Wicked" stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo ... we caught up with one of Judy's two daughters, Lorna Luft, who couldn't be happier about who's walking in her mom's footsteps.

She says she was particularly thrilled with Cynthia and Ariana's duet for the special "Wicked: One Wonderful Night," streaming on Peacock. In the program, they sang "Get Happy / Happy Days Are Here Again" ... a song Judy sang with Barbra Streisand.
The Steelers are currently sitting pretty at the top of the AFC North with Aaron Rodgersunder center -- a feat some didn't believe the 41-year-old quarterback could pull off ... but Jerome Bettis tells TMZ Sports he never doubted the player, only the body.
We caught up with the Pittsburgh legend this week at LAX ... and chopped it up about his former team lookin' pretty damn good so far this season, thanks to Rodgers' 17 touchdown passes.
Given Rodgers' underwhelming stint with the Jets last season, his resurgence has shocked plenty of fans ... but according to Bettis, you never count out a QB like him.
Hit-Boy and The Alchemist have been taking their "Goldfish" album show on the road -- to dynamite effects ... with sold-out theaters streaming their film!!!
