Sam Smith hit the beach to cap off the week -- and they bared it all out there ... rocking a de facto Speedo, and showing off some major PDA with a mystery man in the water.

The singer was in Miami Friday, where they stripped down a teeny-tiny bathing suit and got into the water ... with all their tattoos on display, including a Betty Boop one by their leg. There's lots of ink on Sam's body ... and they certainly gave folks an eyeful to take in.

While Sam was splashing around, a dude joined them and got a little touch-feely as well. While they were both neck-deep underwater, this fella started riding on SS like a horse.

Britney Spears has settled her legal dispute with her dad, Jamie Spears, and in a stunning turn of events, Jamie isn't paying Britney a cent, but Britney is paying Jamie's legal bills ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the case has quietly settled and Britney is furious. We're told her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, assured her she had a solid case, but in the end, she's paying Jamie's legal bills which we're told amount to more than $2 million.

Mind you, Britney has paid Rosengart millions -- we've been told north of $4 million -- but now Britney is deep in the hole over the case.

Diddy wants to dismiss some of the claims in one of his sexual assault cases ... claiming he can't be sued under laws that didn’t even exist at the time of the alleged incident.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ ... Diddy's lawyers are firing back at claims made by Joi Dickerson-Neal -- a woman who filed a suit against him in November claiming he drugged and sexually assaulted her back in 1991.

Joi filed six causes of action against Diddy ... and, now his team's claiming she can't sue him for several of those claims because the laws didn't exist when she says he assaulted her.

Britney Spears ha resuelto su disputa legal con su padre Jamie Spears y en un giro sorprendente de los acontecimientos, Jamie no le va a pagar ni un centavo a Britney, sino que ella va a tener que pagarle las facturas legales a su padre, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el caso se ha resuelto en silencio y que Britney está furiosa. Nos dicen que su abogado Mathew Rosengart le aseguró que tenía un caso sólido, pero al final, ella será quien pagará las facturas legales de Jamie, las que nos dicen que ascienden a más de $2 millones.

Britney ya le ha pagado millones a Rosengart. Nos dicen que al menos $4 millones, y ahora Britney está realmente en un pozo profundo en lo que se refiere al caso.

Chris Brown is treating his beef with Quavo as an afterthought, at least for the moment.

Up-and-coming rapper Skylar Blatt hails from Cincinnati and Chris added his golden singing chops to their "Wake Up" song/video collab released Friday ... but don't think the singing softened his stance.

Chris croons in his verse ... "Got whole lotta problems / Lot of n***** turned down the squabbles, so I'm here" before going into further detail about some of the firearms he owns.

Drake's taken down the track from his Twitter and Instagram -- the only places he posted it -- and, his team is trying to get it removed from other sites that redistributed it.

Sam Smith apareció en la playa para cerrar la semana, y se quitó la ropa para lucir su speedo rojo y compartir algunos cariños con un misterioso hombre en el agua.

El cantante estuvo en Miami el viernes, paseando en un traje de baño ultra pequeño y se metió al agua con todos sus tatuajes a la vista, incluyendo una Betty Boop en su pierna. Hay un montón de tatuajes en el cuerpo de Sam, así que seguro atrajo la mirada de varios.

Mientras Sam estaba chapoteando, un tipo se unió a él y se puso un poco cariñoso también. Mientras los dos estaban sumergidos bajo el agua, el tipo abrazó a Sam Smith y empezó a jugar como si fuera un caballito de mar.

Eminem is saying goodbye to the alter-ego that made him a megastar -- he's proclaiming his next project will put Slim Shady in a coffin, and he's making a mini-movie to hammer home the point!!!

50 Cent makes a cameo in Em's rollout for his 12th album ... a mock "Unsolved Mysteries" news broadcast probes the suspicious murder of Slim, who appears to have been offed by a knife through the chest.

Eminem also includes himself in the clip and the album -- fully titled "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)" -- his first new project in over 4 years.

The Kansas City Chiefs can breathe a big sigh of relief after night one of the NFL Draft ... 'cause their decision to select Texas receiver Xavier Worthy in the first round got Taylor Swift's stamp of approval!!

The back-to-back Super Bowl champs picked the speedy wideout 28th overall on Thursday ... adding yet another weapon to their already-stacked offense.

The "Fortnight" singer was apparently keeping a close eye on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's team's moves on draft night ... 'cause when the Chiefs shared a video of Worthy celebrating hearing his name called, Swift hit the "like" button on the Instagram post.

¡¡¡Doja Cat está echando humo a causa de los padres que tienen el descaro de llevar a sus hijos a sus conciertos y luego se quejan de lo que ven, después de todo, ella tiene un éxito titulado "Wet Vagina" por lo que más quieran!!!

El viernes, Doja utilizó un lenguaje igualmente colorido mientras arremetía contra los padres que aparentemente no pueden encontrar niñeras capaces que cuiden a sus hijos.

No está claro qué fue lo que la hizo estallar exactamente, pero sus recientes actuaciones en Coachella respaldan su diatriba.

Doja Cat is fuming about parents who have the nerve to bring kids to her concerts, and then complain about what they see -- after all, she has a hit entitled "Wet Vagina" for cryin' out loud!!!

On Friday, Doja used equally colorful language while lashing out at adults who, apparently, can't find able-bodied babysitters.

It's unclear what exactly set her off, but her recent Coachella performances back up her rant.

Ciara is trying to drop major poundage after having her fourth baby -- and she's not afraid to show off the progress along the way ... including how much she weighs right now.

There was one photo in there, though, that caught the attention of fans ... it was a picture of a scale with a number on it, which seems to reflect Ciara's current weight.
