Kesha's apparently showing solidarity with Cassie after her allegations against Diddy -- 'cause she dropped a key lyric in her most famous song ... that mentions him by name.

The singer was performing live in L.A. Saturday night ... and while she was crooning to her smash hit single, 'TiK ToK,' folks noticed a change in the wording -- right from the beginning, too. Of course, that track starts like this ... "Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy."

What Kesha sang at the Hollywood Palladium, though, was different ... she said, "Wake up in the morning' feelin' just like me." In other words, she completely dropped Diddy here.

Interestingly enough, Kesha did the same on her Friday night show in Oakland. The Oakland performance of 'TiK ToK' looks incredibly similar to the L.A. gig -- but we did some digging and as it turns out ... Kesha's stage design/lighting is exactly the same for this song at her shows lately. So, basically -- there's no doubt she changed the lyric twice this weekend.

What makes this stand out even more is the fact that just a few days ago -- before Cassie filed her lawsuit -- Kesha was performing in Denver, which you can see in the YouTube video above ... and there, the Diddy lyric remained.

Long story short ... it seems Kesha is taking a stance on the issue, which is notable considering she has long labeled herself a survivor of alleged sexual assault -- having infamously accused Dr. Luke ... which he vehemently denied and sued her over.

In the end, they settled their legal battle and Kesha said, "Only God knows what happened that night. As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened."

That saga was arduous in and of itself ... but seemingly pertinent to the decision Kesha's making here about Diddy. Like we said, he too has outright denied Cassie's allegations -- accusing her of a money shakedown ... this before coming to terms out of court a day later.

Diddy y su drama con Cassie parecen estar dándole grandes preocupaciones al rapero.

El magnate del hip hop y Bad Boy honcho fue fotografiado el sábado fuera de su mansión de Star Island en Miami, donde estaba vestido casualmente y bebiendo mientras se dejó caer al lado de lo que parece ser su jefa de personal desde hace mucho tiempo.

Ella estaba en ropa cómoda también y los dos charlaron un rato en lo que parecía una conversación bastante seria. Diddy incluso enterró la cara entre las manos en un momento dado.

Finalmente, se levantó y volvió a entrar.

Tiene sentido, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que ha estado sucediendo en las últimas 72. Diddy está siendo acusado de cosas horribles por su ex en la corte, todo lo ha negado con vehemencia. Tan rápido como ella presentó la demanda, ambos llegaron a un acuerdo.

Mientras que el abogado de Diddy fue inflexible al decir que su cliente NO estaba admitiendo haber hecho mal, la gente en línea ha estado charlando sobre esto sin parar, a pesar de que en general, el sentimiento público parece estar en su mayoría en contra del rapero.

El tiempo dirá cómo las reclamaciones de Cassie terminan afectando a su vida, el hecho es que tiene un montón de empresas de negocios en las que está involucrado, por no hablar de los eventos de caridad que encabeza con bastante frecuencia.

Por supuesto, Diddy también se dedica a la música, y acaba de publicar un álbum a principios de este año. También tiende a salir mucho por la ciudad para fiestas y reuniones, pero algo nos dice que podría mantener las cosas discretas por un tiempo.

Diddy just officially put this whole Cassie saga to bed, but it seems it's all still at the forefront of his mind -- that is, if these pictures of him looking stressed are any indication.

The hip hop mogul and Bad Boy honcho was photographed Saturday outside of his Star Island mansion in Miami ... where he was dressed casually and sipping on a beverage of some sort as he plopped down next to what appears to be his longtime chief of staff.

She was in comfy clothes too, and the two of them chatted for a bit in what looked like a pretty serious conversation. Diddy even buried his face in his hands at one point.

Eventually, he got up and went back inside ... but yeah, he certainly appears solemn.

Makes sense, considering everything that's been going on over the past 72 hours or so -- namely, him being accused of horrendous things by his ex in court ... all of which he's vehemently denied. Just as quickly as she filed, they both reached a settlement.

While Diddy's attorney was adamant in saying that his client settling did NOT mean he was admitting wrongdoing -- people online have been chatting about this nonstop regardless ... and, by and large, public sentiment seems to be mostly against Puff in the aftermath.

Time will tell how Cassie's claims end up affecting his life -- fact is, he's got a lot of business ventures he's involved in ... not to mention charitable endeavors he heads up quite often.

Of course, Diddy still dabbles in music as well ... and is fresh off an album release earlier this year. He also tends to hit the town a lot for parties and get-togethers, but something tells us he might be keeping things on the DL for a while.

Britney Spears ha estado pasando desapercibida desde la publicación de sus memorias el mes pasado, pero ahora está saliendo en público de nuevo y hay que decir que se ve muy feliz.

La estrella del pop (y ahora autora) fue fotografiada el sábado por la tarde en West Hollywood, donde fue a cenar al Chateau Marmont con su manager, Cade Hudson. Ella también tenía un amigo peludo de etiqueta que incluso se subió en el asiento del conductor cuando se fueron.

Como dijimos, Brit se ve radiante, mostrando una enorme sonrisa mientras los paparazzi disparaban. Se le vio caminando con mucha confianza mientras lucía un traje de color naranja brillante, botas y gafas de sol.

Se podría decir que está bastante satisfecha por los resultados de "The Woman in Me", que salió hace un mes, entregando toneladas de datos polémicos.

No vamos a repetir todo de nuevo, pero digamos que ella ganó un montón de simpatía y apoyo adicional de parte de la gente gracias sus historias personales. Esto le viene muy bien, ya que había perdido algo de popularidad después de la tutela.

Ahora, sin embargo, Brit tiene al público de vuelta de su lado y ella parece saberlo. Por supuesto, también está el hecho de que ella está recibiendo una buena parte de las ventas netas del libro, el cual ha sido un artículo muy vendido con más de 1.1 millones de copias vendidas en la primera semana.

Así que sí, Britney ha sacado algo bueno entre todo su drama.

En cuanto a la conducción, bueno, aquí está la esperanza de que ella frena su rollo y puede permanecer entre las líneas en la carretera. Ya le han puesto un par de multas de tráfico en el último año.

Britney Spears has been laying low since releasing her bombshell memoir last month -- but now, she's stepping out in public again ... and gotta say, she looks pretty damn happy.

The pop star (and now author) was snapped out and about Saturday afternoon in West Hollywood, where she hit dinner at the Chateau Marmont with her manager, Cade Hudson. She also had a furry friend tagging along ... and even got in the driver's seat as they left.

Like we said ... Brit's radiating here, flashing a huge grin as paps fired away -- and walking along with a lot of confidence, this while rocking a bright orange outfit, boots and shades.

From the looks of it, you could say she might be quite pleased over the fallout of "The Woman in Me," which came out about a month ago now ... with tons of juicy nuggets.

We're not gonna rehash all of it here again, but let's just say ... she gained a lot of extra sympathy and support as people processed her stories and claims -- which is interesting, 'cause you could argue she'd, perhaps, been losing a little steam post-conservatorship.

Now, however ... Brit has the public back in her corner -- and she seems to know that. Of course, there's also the fact she's getting a nice cut of the net sales of the book -- and so far, it's been a hot-ticket item ... with over 1.1 million copies sold in the first week!

So yeah, she's cleaned up nice and then some in the aftermath of all this.

As far as the driving, well -- here's hoping she slows her roll and can stay between the lines on the road. She's already gotten hit with a couple traffic tickets over the past year or so.

Slim Thug says women who claim to have been abused need to speak up when it's actually happening -- which is why he thinks Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy came too little, too late.

The rapper aired out his thoughts online with a very honest video, in which he spoke on the Cassie/Diddy situation -- which is now resolved after the two of them reached a settlement in record time.

Still, ST spoke his piece ... and he says he simply doesn't support people coming after their alleged abusers years after the fact -- and not only did he mention Diddy and Cassie in making this point, but he also name-dropped Bill Cosby. As he says, he ain't with all that.

Slim also dished his opinion on why he believes Cassie even filed her suit with bombshell claims -- and, according to him, it may have to do with her living a different lifestyle now.

Bottom line ... Slim Thug's saying he thinks this is all about money, and has a hunch Cassie was simply out for cash in this whole situation.

In any case ... Slim's bigger point here is, the post-mortem undressing of old (alleged) incidents not only needs a statute of limitations legally -- but, perhaps, socially too.

ICYMI ... Cassie/Diddy came to terms out of court, and both said they resolved it amicably. Diddy's attorney also said the settlement did not indicate an admission of wrongdoing.

Jimmie Allen's marriage to his estranged wife, Alexis Gale, might not be lost after all ... 'cause his lawyers want to pull out of the divorce case, believing the couple is trying to work things out.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, Jimmie's attorneys filed a motion in court last month asking to withdraw as his counsel in the divorce case -- claiming they've "lost communication" with their client.

That's not all ... his lawyers say they're under the impression Jimmie and Alexis "are attempting to reconcile," and they call the potential to keep representing Jimmie "unfeasible."

The judge is set to hear the motion next week.

TMZ broke the story ... sources close to the estranged couple told us they came to the decision in April to separate, following months of being very on and off. She was pregnant at the time with their 3rd kid, too ... and she had Cohen Ace James at the end of September.

Jackson Mahomes was partying his face off to kick off the weekend ... and he had the best seat in the house to watch a DJ do his thing.

Patrick Mahomes' little brother was front and center Friday night at Mosaic Ultra Lounge in Kansas City, MO -- where James Kennedy was handling music for all the club-goers ... and putting on a pretty good set, if Jackson's reaction here is any indication.

Check it out ... in footage obtained by TMZ, you can see the 23-year-old influencer raging as Kennedy spins his records, and even got on his feet at one point and cheered JK on.

Looks like Jackson was also making it rain behind James too ... with confetti, that is.

JM might've been having a blast here, but he's got some very serious issues to deal with in the near future ... including a preliminary hearing in his sexual battery case.

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Hogan, found himself in a jail cell early this weekend -- 'cause he got arrested for DUI ... and the location is notable.

According to online records, Nick got busted Saturday morning just before 4 AM in Clearwater, FL -- where cops booked him on suspicion of driving under the influence ... noting he allegedly refused to submit to sobriety testing.

The exact circumstances that led up to the arrest are unclear for now, but they're logging this as a misdemeanor -- and they had Nick pose for this mug while he was being processed. As of this writing, he hasn't been released from custody.

On its face, it's a simple DUI arrest ... which, while serious, wouldn't normally be all that big a  deal -- especially if nobody got hurt. However, Nick had previously been involved in a scary car accident way back in the 2000s when he was just a teen ... also in Clearwater, FL.

It was a well-documented saga at the time ... Nick was driving with a Marine friend of his -- John Graziano -- who suffered a serious brain injury from the wreck ... but survived.

Nick, who was 17 at the time, ultimately pleaded no contest to reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. In the lead-up to that plea, cops had alleged alcohol was involved. Nick went on to serve an 8-month sentence behind bars in the aftermath.

Of course, the Graziano family also sued the Hogans over the accident ... and they settled out of court.

Nick doesn't appear to have any reps at the moment -- so we reached out to Hulk's camp for comment ... but no word back yet.

Elon Musk says he's suing a media watchdog over a report he says is misleading advertisers to flee X ... and it sounds like he'll try taking 'em for every penny they're worth.

Here's the deal ... Elon and his new social media company have been in the crosshairs of controversy over the past few days -- and it mostly has to do with a story Media Matters published that suggested pro-Nazi ads were running alongside organic content from users.

Of course, that sounds scandalous ... and it dovetails with accusations of antisemitism that Elon himself faced this exact same week -- this after a Twitter response he fired off.

The Media Matters thing, though, is what EM is now squarely focused on in this epic warning. He took to X Friday night to announce he was hitting the courthouse first thing Monday morning in a plan to sue Media Matters over what he claims is misleading reporting.

Elon says, "The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company." He added, "Their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them."

There was also an attached explanation to Media Matters' report -- which, again, suggested Nazi propaganda was somehow popping up on X ... and which seems to have spurred HUGE companies to either pause or outright suspend X advertising over the last 24 hours.

Those brands include Apple, Disney, WB, IBM, Lionsgate and others ... and that, of course, hurts Elon and X's bottom line. So, he's trying to rectify it all now with what he says is forthcoming legal action.

It's been a bumpy week for the guy ... but hey, at least his SpaceX Starship rocket got successfully launched today. That is, before it self-destructed after about 10 minutes or so.

Elon Musk dice que va a demandar a una empresa de medios por un informe que, a su juicio, está engañando a los anunciantes para que huyan de su plataforma X y suena como que irá por cada centavo que valga.

Este es lo que pasó, Elon y su nueva compañía de redes sociales han estado en medio de la controversia en los últimos días, y todo tiene que ver con una historia que publicó Media Matters que sugiere que se están colando anuncios pro-nazis junto con el contenido orgánico de los usuarios.

Por supuesto, suena escandaloso y calza con las acusaciones de antisemitismo que el propio Elon ha estado enfrentando esta misma semana, después de uno de sus comentarios en un tuit encendiera las alarmas.

Su advertencia, sin embargo, se centra principalmente en lo de Media Matters. El viernes por la noche apareció en X para anunciar que a primera hora del lunes iría a los tribunales para demandar a Media Matters por lo que considera información engañosa.

Elon dice: "En la fracción de segundo que el tribunal abra el lunes, X Corp presentará una demanda termonuclear contra Media Matters y TODOS los que se confabularon en este ataque fraudulento contra nuestra empresa". Y añade: "Su junta, sus donantes, su red de dinero oscuro, todos ellos".

También había una explicación adjunta al informe de Media Matters que, de nuevo, sugería que está apareciendo propaganda nazi de alguna manera en X y parece estar causando que grandes empresas pausen o directamente suspendan la publicidad en X en las últimas 24 horas.

Esas marcas incluyen Apple, Disney, WB, IBM, Lionsgate y otros, lo que por supuesto perjudica a Elon y a X en general. Así que ahora está tratando de rectificarlo todo con estas próximas acciones legales.

Ha sido una semana agitada para el tipo, pero bueno, al menos su cohete SpaceX Starship fue lanzado con éxito hoy. Es decir, antes de que se autodestruyera después de unos diez minutos más o menos.

Aubrey O'Day no está de acuerdo con la forma en que el sistema judicial funcionó en relación con la demanda entre Diddy y Cassie, y la cantante se lo está haciendo saber a todo el mundo.

Aubrey, que fue firmada por el sello "Bad Boy" de Diddy en la década de los 2000, opinó sobre el sorprendente acuerdo en Instagram, luego de que Cassie presentara una demanda contra Diddy en un tribunal federal un día antes, alegando que la había violado e involucrado en trata de personas durante años.

O'Day escribió: "Dinero > responsabilidad. Siempre. Bienvenido a otro capítulo del sistema, que está bien en su lugar".

En otras palabras, O'Day está diciendo que el sistema no funcionó porque Diddy probablemente desembolsó mucho dinero para desestimar las acusaciones. Los detalles del acuerdo aún no han sido revelados.

Después de que Cassie presentara la demanda, O'Day se dirigió a Instagram para dispararle a Diddy, escribiendo: "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years (he estado tratando de decírtelo por años)". El New York Post también habló con O'Day, quien dio su "apoyo total" a Cassie.

En el pasado, la cantante ha concedido varias entrevistas en las que afirma que Diddy le hizo insinuaciones sexuales no deseadas, que ella siempre rechazó, y que estaba involucrado en prácticas comerciales turbias.

Por ejemplo, acusó a Diddy de ofrecer los derechos de publicación de nuevo a su grupo, Danity Kane, con un acuerdo de confidencialidad adjunto, que ella encontró molesto y nunca firmó. No quedó claro qué pasó finalmente con ese acuerdo.

Diddy no se ha referido a las afirmaciones de O'Day, pero publicó un comunicado después de que se hiciera oficial el acuerdo con Cassie: "Hemos decidido resolver este asunto de forma amistosa. Deseo a Cassie y a su familia todo lo mejor. Con amor".

Aubrey O'Day isn't down with the way the justice system worked in the Diddy-Cassie lawsuit settlement -- and AOD's letting everybody know it!!!

The singer -- who was signed to Diddy's label "Bad Boy" in the 2000s -- weighed in on Instagram about Friday's stunning settlement after Cassie sued Diddy in federal court one day earlier, claiming he had raped her and engaged in human trafficking over the years.

O'Day wrote, "Money > accountability. Every time. Welcome to another chapter of the system is well in place."

In other words, O'Day is saying that the system didn't work because Diddy likely shelled out big bucks to put the suit to bed. Details of the settlement have not been disclosed.

After Cassie filed the bombshell suit, O'Day took to IG to give Diddy a shot, writing, "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years." The New York Post also spoke to O'Day, who threw her "complete support" behind Cassie.

In the past, O'Day has given several interviews in which she alleged Diddy made unwanted sexual advances -- which she would always rebuff -- and he was involved in shady business practices.

For example, she accused Diddy of offering the publishing rights back to her group, Danity Kane, with an NDA attached, which she found annoying and never signed. It wasn't clear what ultimately happened with the deal.

Diddy has not addressed O'Day's claims, but he released a statement after the settlement with Cassie became official, saying, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

Y así de fácil se terminó. Cassie y su ex Diddy, están resolviendo la demanda que ella presentó hace apenas un día, alegando que la había violado e involucrado en trata de personas, y dicen que lo están haciendo "amigablemente".

Ambas partes emitieron declaraciones el viernes por la noche diciendo que la guerra legal se había terminado. Cassie dijo: "He decidido resolver este asunto de manera amistosa en términos en los que tengo un cierto nivel de control. Quiero dar las gracias a mi familia, fans y abogados por su apoyo inquebrantable".

Diddy también declaró: "Hemos decidido resolver este asunto de forma amistosa. Deseo a Cassie y a su familia todo lo mejor. Con amor".

El sorprendente anuncio se produce cuando todavía se estaba asentando el polvo de las asombrosas acusaciones que Cassie lanzó contra Diddy.

Como informamos, la demanda civil presentada el jueves en un tribunal federal acusaba al magnate de Bad Boy Records de violarla en 2018 y obligarla a tener relaciones sexuales con prostitutos en múltiples ocasiones durante el transcurso de su relación, fiestas a las que se refirió como freak-offs que se celebraban en suites de hoteles en Miami, Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Beverly Hills y Atlanta.

Aunque muchas de las acusaciones, de ser ciertas, corresponden a delitos criminales, TMZ comprobó con los organismos encargados en todas las ciudades mencionadas y con el FBI, que no hay investigaciones abiertas contra Diddy.

Su abogado negó todas las afirmaciones de inmediato y acusó a Cassie de presentar la demanda como un último recurso para conseguir dinero, alegando que ya había amenazado durante meses con escribir un libro al respecto si Diddy no le daba 30 millones de dólares.

Los términos del acuerdo aún no han sido revelados y la declaración de ninguna de las partes hace referencia a cualquier dinero.

11/18/23 -- Diddy's attorney, Ben Brafman, tells TMZ ... "Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best."

And just like that it's over ... Cassie and her ex, Diddy, are settling the bombshell lawsuit she filed just one day ago, alleging he'd raped her and engaged in human trafficking ... and they say they're doing it "amicably."

Both parties released statements late Friday night saying the legal war was over. Cassie said, "I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support."

Diddy similarly said, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

The stunning announcement comes as the dust was still settling from the jaw-dropping allegations Cassie had leveled against Diddy.

As we reported, the civil suit she filed Thursday in federal court accused the Bad Boy Records mogul of raping her in 2018, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes multiple times over the course of their relationship -- parties she referred to as F.O.s or freak-offs that were held in hotel suites in Miami, NYC, L.A., Beverly Hills and Atlanta.

Although many of the allegations, if true, were criminal ... TMZ checked with law enforcement agencies in all of the above cities, and with the FBI, but there were no open investigations against Diddy.

His attorney denied all the claims immediately, and accused Cassie of filing the suit as a last resort money grab -- claiming she had threatened for months to write a tell-all book if Diddy didn't give her $30 million.

The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, and neither party's statement makes reference to any money being exchanged.

Cassie's suit spurred a lot of people to weigh in on the saga ... some for her, others a bit more skeptical. In any case, it's all over now.

Paula Jai Parker is questioning Cassie's sexual abuse allegations against Diddy ... and now she's getting tons of backlash for doing so.

The actress shared her 2 cents on Cassie's explosive lawsuit with a series of tweets ... and at one point said, "I'm sorry but I don't get it, I used to be 19 and I was in the industry and I was quite capable of saying no."

As you know ... Cassie is accusing Diddy of rape and human trafficking, among several other claims, in a federal suit ... and a lot of folks are already taking her side.

But, Paula's taking a more skeptical stance. She says she's sexual abuse survivor and adds ... "By 19 we're all strong enough to make choices that affect the rest of our lives. If you can't say no you're not built for it. Take that midnight train now before you get yourself in trouble."

She also says ... "I'm trying so hard to see the victim here, but do sex slaves usually get to pick their sex partners in 5⭐ hotels?😩🤷🏽‍♂️."

On social media, folks are ripping Paula for "victim blaming" ... and people are throwing out alleged NDAs, threats and fear as potential reasons why it took Cassie so long to speak out.
