Don't expect to get a Spice Girls documentary anytime soon ... at least not according to Mel B!

This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the girl group's debut -- their first single and album both dropped in 1996 -- but Mel is shutting down rumors that she'll reunite with Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton for a doc.

She told Hello it's not that they haven't been asked or weren't considering it, but she's not sure it would get done "in the right way," saying ... "It has to be honest -- and not everybody wants to be honest."

Backstreet's back ... perhaps in a beef with NSYNC thanks to Brian Littrell taking a hilarious jab at the rival boy band in police body cam footage, obtained by TMZ.

Watch the video ... the police question Littrell about an altercation the Backstreet Boy had with a guy he accused of assaulting him on his property. After Brian says the other guy was going after him "because I'm a celebrity" ... one of the cops says she recognizes BL and breaks out into "Bye Bye Bye."

Nice try officer, but of course, that's the wrong band ... and Brian didn't hesitate to let her know that!

Simon Cowell says Tom Sandoval would make a ton of money in the music industry ... as a wedding singer -- not as a mainstream frontman.

We caught up with the "America's Got Talent" judge and asked him about Sandoval's performance on the show back in August ... which Cowell lightly ripped apart -- telling Sandoval he liked him and his group ... but their performance of "Blinding Lights" didn't sound good.

Cowell tells us Sandoval just didn't really impress him -- as much as his fans may have liked the performance ... but, he could see Sandoval leading a "party band."

SC points out there's a ton of money in weddings and birthday parties ... and, he thinks Sandoval and his group -- Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras -- would rake in the dough if they jumped into that space.

Usher is lending major support to Diddy, saying he strongly believes Diddy's legacy in music should remain intact despite any "flaws" he may have.

Check out the video ... Usher tells journalist Jabari Young he thinks “certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer.”

Paul's done a bunch of renovations since then, including adding custom entry doors, dark-stained hardwood floors, and fully refinished marble surfaces, TMZ has learned.

The Canadian crooner's also done a bit of landscaping to give the buyer a better view of the Sherwood Country Club the estate overlooks.

According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ ... FKA Twigs -- real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett -- wants a declaration from the judge to put an end to the indie twin-sister group The Twigs sending her cease-and-desist letters over their similar names.

Basically, FKA claims the sister act -- composed of Laura and Linda Good -- has been hounding her over the trademark to her name ... after she says they filed a trademark claim against her in 2014, before "voluntarily" dismissing the case and disappearing for a while.

Usher is seemingly unfazed by the argument he and Justin Bieber had just a week ago, as he's seen strolling the streets of L.A. looking as cool as a cucumber.

We broke the story ... Usher and Justin Bieber got into it at an Oscars after-party hosted by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. We heard people talking about the incident between Usher and Justin, with some saying that it ended up as a fist fight between the two.

A source connected to all of the involved parties tells us ... Scooter has no issue with the news Tom and Yael got cozy at a recent Hollywood bash -- and eventually left together -- even though Scooter and Tom have become pretty good friends.

We're told Scooter's totally "unbothered" and considers Tom a good guy.

Tom Brady might be looking to score a touchdown in the dating department ... 'cause he was spotted getting close with Scooter Braun’s ex-wife at NFL star Tony Gonzalez's birthday bash in Los Angeles recently.

An insider tells Page Six the 48-year-old NFL commentator and Yael Cohen Braun, 39, were "huddled up at the bar together" and left the party together. The party was reportedly at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' pad -- Tony is Lauren's ex, and they welcomed a kid together in 2001. A source at the party confirmed to TMZ that Tom and Yael were hanging out and getting close at the event.

TMZ has reached out for comment ... so far, no word back.

As you know, Tom has been flying solo since his 2022 divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen, though he was linked to model Irina Shayk for several months beginning in 2023. Yael and Scooter split in 2021 and finalized their divorce in 2022.

According to the docs, Suzette and the family's music company, Q-Productions, owns and meticulously controls Selena's image, so they issued Shein a cease and desist letter around August 1, 2025.

We caught up with this music producer and songwriter in 2023, just months before he reportedly began dating the love of his life ... can you guess who he is?

This Grammy-nominated artist was over the moon when we talked to him in L.A. -- not because he was about to start seeing his soulmate -- but because Frank Ocean had just put on one of the best shows he'd ever seen.
