A Boogie Wit Tha Hoodie and his camp engaged in a massive brawl over the weekend, and by the looks of it, the establishment was left with the biggest black eye!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained a video of the chaotic aftermath of the trashed Tokyo club, which was supposed to be a night of bottle-popping and twerking for the Magic City Takeover at Zouk Japan on Friday, October 3.

Our source inside the club tells us there was confusion on who A Boogie's crew was tussling with and which camp had been involved.

A Boogie, on the other hand, was in the building, and you can see him standing on a platform in bright yellow Air Jordan 5 sneakers, combing through the rumble looking for something to throw.

Anika Nilles has been rocking out on the drums for several years now ... and it looks like she'll be hitting some pretty big stages in the near future.

The professional drummer's been selected to support the legendary prog-rock group Rush on their upcoming reunion tour, which isn't too far out in the future.

We're going to take a look into the background of the musician and see how she was selected to take the stool of the group's legendary former drummer.

Nilles is originally from Germany, and she earned a degree in popular music and music business from the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim, according to Modern Drummer.

The musician had originally pursued a career in social education, although she gave it up in order to follow her dreams of working as a professional musician.

Nilles' big break came in 2013, when she posted a video for her track "Wild Boy" on YouTube, and the clip racked up thousands of views overnight.

The performer kept raising her public profile by sharing videos of her original compositions on YouTube, and she's earned millions of views through her work.

Nilles dropped her debut solo album, "Pikalar," which featured instrumental compositions, in 2017.

The performer's since released three further albums, and her most recent record, "False Truth," debuted earlier this year.

Nilles remained busy in between the release of each of her records, as she began appearing at international drumming festivals and drum clinics.

She also hit the road as part of Jeff Beck's band back in 2022, when she joined the late guitarist on a tour around Europe, according to Loudwire.

Nilles' involvement with Rush was revealed in October 2025, when the group revealed she'd been selected to replace Neil Peart on their upcoming 2026 reunion tour, reports Variety.

The group's former drummer died in 2020 following a battle with glioblastoma, and his family's given the band their blessing to hit the stage again.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson issued a press statement about their plans to get back together ... Geddy said they "could not be more excited" to have Nilles as their drummer.

Jennifer Lopez was pure class -- all while side-eyeing "Today" show's Craig Melvin for sneaking a Ben Affleck divorce question as she plugged her new movie, "Kiss of the Spider Woman."

Peep the clip from Monday -- Craig casually mentions how her 2024 divorce was finalized while filming the musical ... forcing J Lo into a flurry of awkward chuckles as she turned to someone off-camera to say, "There you go! Look at this guy!"

Jennifer’s grin said it all -- she saw this moment coming a mile away, and she was ready with her response as Craig tried to justify dropping Ben’s name ... pointing out he's the movie's executive producer.

8:04 AM PT -- Mark Sanchez is now facing a Level 5 Felony battery involving serious bodily injury charge ... which carries a penalty of one to six years behind bars, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced minutes ago.

Mears explained that upon receiving further information on the alleged victim's condition, it was clear the more severe charge was necessary. According to the amended probable cause affidavit, the alleged victim suffered a "severe laceration to the side of his face, penetrating all the way through his left cheek" ... and stated the pain he experienced eventually reached a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

IMPD Chief Chris Bailey added Sanchez won't get any special treatment ... saying, "I don't care who you are, I don't care what you do for a living, I don't care where you live -- if you come into our city, commit violence, we will use all the tools at our disposal to hold you accountable."

Bailey said given the cases that have unfolded in recent years, "we're lucky that no one's dead right now" due to a knife being involved.

Local cops and officials are about to address the late-night stabbing incident involving Mark Sanchez ... with a press conference slated to go down in a matter of minutes.

Rush's surviving members are heading back into the limelight -- because they just announced a reunion tour!

The group -- consisting of bassist-singer Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson -- is set to hit the road in the summer of 2026 on what's being labeled as the "Fifty Something" tour, according to Variety.

The pair's going to be joined by drummer Anika Nilles, who will in for Neil Peart, who died back in 2020 from glioblastoma.

The news broke in an interview with Lee and Lifeson at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Sunday night, and the bassist said choosing to tour again was a “very difficult decision” given Peart's absence.

Lee and Lifeson reportedly began privately jamming on their old songs following their longtime friend's death, which helped them work through his absence.

The late drummer's family has given the band their blessing to hit the stage again, and the group's planning to pay tribute to Peart multiple times at each show.

In addition to Nilles -- who formerly toured with Jeff Beck -- the group is going to hire a keyboard player to join them on the road ... and Lee quipped Lifeson would have more room to dance with all the extra support.

Judge Diane Goodstein's waterfront home at Edisto Beach in South Carolina burned down Saturday.

The former Circuit Court Judge was reportedly out walking her dogs when the fire started at her residence, which was located in a gated community, according to Greenville's WYFF-TV.

Her husband -- former Democratic state Senator Arnold Goodstein -- and several other family members had to escape from the upper levels of the house, and they were rescued by emergency service workers in kayaks after sheltering in the marshlands near the residence.

Several people were hospitalized for injuries sustained during the incident.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is currently investigating the fire at the judge's residence as a possible arson attack, Fox News reports.

Goodstein spoke to the Daily Mail on Monday morning and said she'd been feeling "alright" in the days following the blaze.

8:06 AM PT -- Maxwell's attorney David Markus tells TMZ ... “We’re, of course, deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. But this fight isn’t over. Serious legal and factual issues remain, and we will continue to pursue every avenue available to ensure that justice is done.”

Ghislaine Maxwell just hit a legal brick wall ... the U.S. Supreme Court flat-out rejected her bid Monday to overturn her conviction for conspiring to sexually abuse minors.

The Supreme Court wasted no time on its first day back with the decision -- killing any shot at a retrial for Maxwell -- who was convicted back in 2021 ... all while the Trump administration continues to catch heat for keeping the Epstein Files still under wraps.

The justices didn’t explain why they turned away the appeal.

The alleged victim in the Mark Sanchez stabbing incident is doing "OK" after the violent altercation, according to the truck driver's family, who provided a brief update on Sunday.

"He's OK," the family said.

The NFL star is all smiles with his arms around his mother, Donna Kelce -- along with his uncle and aunt -- at “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl," which hit theaters over the weekend.

The crew flocked to a Jacksonville, Florida movie theater ... which makes sense, since Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.

Charlize Theron seemingly ignored Johnny Depp at last week's Dior Fashion Week show in Paris, France — and now video has surfaced of the awkward moment.

Check it out ... Charlize approaches Brigitte Macron — the wife of French prez Emmanuel Macron — and French entrepreneur Bernard Arnault with Johnny standing next to them at last Thursday's event.

The actress greets Arnault and Macron with soft kisses on each of their cheeks before pivoting and walking away — right past Johnny without so much as a look.

Dua Lipa’s hot, no cap ... but try anything funny and you’re getting schooled -- just ask the fan who learned the hard way!

Catch the clip ... Dua was killing it at the Kia Forum in L.A. this weekend, posing for fan pics when one dude got way too familiar, sliding his hand near her booty -- before security delivered an instant rear-end reality check.

The whole crowd saw it go down and couldn’t help but laugh out loud when security smacked his hand away. Oof, instant cringe!

Taylor Swift is pushing back on fan speculation she’ll wind down her music career once she marries Travis Kelce ... calling the theories “shockingly offensive.”

The singer-songwriter sat down with BBC Radio to talk about her latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," and opened up about balancing her personal life and career.

At one point, she seems caught off guard when the interviewer says, "Don't tell me this is your last album" ... referencing fan chatter that marriage and motherhood could lead to the end of her music career.

Liz Cambage has a message for WNBA players -- if they really wanna make a buck, they're gonna have to find it outside of their salaries ... 'cause she sure as hell didn't buy her mink coat and blinged-out teeth with a game check!!

The former Los Angeles Sparks star turned to OnlyFans after leaving the W ... and it wasn't long before she made more dough on the subscription-based platform than she did on the court.

She reportedly made more than a million bucks in no time. Remember, the supermax in the W is just over $200K -- an obvious reason why she jumped on OF ... and she tells us other players should follow her lead and earn a living in other ways on top of their day jobs.
