Metallica's lead singer and rhythm guitarist had one thing on his mind while vacationing in Greece -- nothing else matters but hitting up the beach with the fam!!!

James Hetfield took his son and daughter to the Greek island of Mykonos Wednesday for a fun-filled day in the sun and a dip in the sea ... a day that never comes for some ... so they made the most of it.

Hetfield managed to maintain a rock star look with his camo trunks and a cross necklace chain ... while also flaunting his tats.

Jay-Z and Beyonce want everyone to forget their marriage was ever on the rocks ... based on the super lovey-dovey imagery they put down on night #1 of their latest tour.

Bey and Jay kicked off the On the Run II Tour Wednesday in Wales, and they were kinda all over each other when they shared the stage. Plus, a lot of the imagery on the giant screens behind them highlighted their marriage and their family.

As we reported, fans even got to see video of Sir and Rumi for the first time since last July when they announced their births -- and, of course, there were tons of costume changes because ... Bey.

The tour's U.S. dates start next month in Cleveland. Until then ... check out these shots of the Carters.

Fitting that Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban finally made their long-rumored coupling Insta official in Smashville Wednesday night, isn't it??

There have been rumors about the two for months ... but Vonn and the NHL star finally publicly confirmed their relationship last night ... hitting the red carpet together at the CMT Music Awards.

The two have been spotted hangin' out a lot recently ... taking in a Red Sox game and a Celtics playoff game last month.

They also hit business classes together at Harvard last week ... and Vonn was at one of P.K.'s playoff games last month in Nashville too.

But, they've successfully avoided taking a coupley photo until Wednesday night, when Vonn made sure to caption their selfie with a yellow heart.

Maybe it was the Keith Urban love songs that did it??

Lil Pump is handing out bust down watches like the Cavaliers are handing over games to the Warriors ... and the latest guy to get one is Charlie Sheen.

Pump recruited Sheen for his latest music video shoot and while the pairing might seem random, it's actually not once you consider it's for a song called "Drug Addict."

Sheen's struggle with drugs has not exactly flown under the radar, but from the looks of the footage on the set, Sheen is looking great. Here's a scary thought though ... he's playing a doctor.

Pump courted Sheen for the video with a ton of cash a couple weeks ago. Unclear if Pump actually forked over the dough for the cameo along with the flashy timepiece.

Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, is throwing gasoline on a fire that's supposedly extinguished ... by taking some shots at his son's rap rival, Pusha T.

We got Dennis leaving Delilah on Wednesday night in WeHo and wanted to ask him something about Pusha. As we told you ... Drake's had a new diss track locked and loaded, but didn't release it after J Prince told him to stand down.

Dennis, apparently, didn't get that message. Now, we're not saying this even rises to the level of "Duppy Freestyle" ... it's more like Dad-style shade.

E-40 says an author ripped off his hit '90s song and slapped it on a novel, but he's giving the writer one chance to save himself from a 'Save a Hoe' lawsuit.

The rapper fired off a cease and desist letter to novelist, CJ Allen over his book, "Captain Save A Hoe." In the letter, E-40 says he has a trademark on his 1993 track, which covers merch, services and, most importantly, publications ... like "novel books in the fields of urban fiction."

Forty Fonzarelli says Allen's book infringes on his song's copyrights and confuses fans. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, a lawsuit will be filed if Allen doesn't scrap the novel and provide a full accounting of all money made off it.

We found out the author's currently in prison, but his wife doesn't think E-40 has a case. She tells us readers won't confuse the book's heroine -- a sexy woman in a cape with an "S" -- with the main character in 40's music vid, a guy in a shirt and cape with a "C."

She also claims the rapper's causing her husband financial harm and stress ... beyond the normal prison variety, we're guessing.

Here's Rita Ora and her musician boyfriend, Andrew Watt, strolling along a beach in Italy -- and while she might be there for the sun and fun ... he'll just have the toes. Grazie!

Andrew appeared to be getting a healthy helping of Rita's little piggies as they lounged on the beach somewhere in the Tuscany region. We gotta say ... this takes the cake for best celeb PDA of the week.

Apologies to Kendall and Anwar, ya just got bumped.

No doubt, Rita's earned herself a good toe-job. She just released her music video for "Girls" ... featuring Cardi B, Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX. Pretty hot vid, and not only because she kisses Cardi. But, mostly because she kisses Cardi.

Looks like Andrew's ready and willing to shoot a follow-up music video -- but less about girls, and more about girls' toes.

Robbie Williams ran for his life from a massive fire at one of London's luxury hotels, but it looks like he and his friends were able to escape.

The British pop singer was one of the hundreds of people forced to evacuate Wednesday when the Mandarin Oriental Hotel caught fire. It's unclear what started it at this point, but the blaze inside the 12-story structure was visible for miles.

Robbie and some pals were able to quickly make their way down a fire escape, bolting down several flights. His friend asks if he's alright, and Robbie flashes a thumbs-up sign, indicating he was just fine.

Beyonce just gave the world an updated baby pic of her and Jay-Z's new twins during opening night of the couple's tour.

Bey and Jay kicked off their On The Run II Tour in Cardiff, UK ... and a visual of Beyonce holding Sir and Rumi made the crowd go wild. It's some of the only images we've had of the latest additions to the Carter family since July of last year, when Beyonce announced she'd given birth.

The couple also shared a pic of Jay-Z holding the twins -- the first that's been made public.

The tour will hit cities all over the world ... making stops throughout Europe before coming to the United States in July.

The show is Beyonce's first since her show at Coachella, which featured a Destiny's Child reunion.

Tekashi69 is distancing himself from any involvement in the attempted shooting of Chief Keef, and says Keef's got no one to blame ... but himself.

The Brooklyn rapper told us Wednesday, on "TMZ Live," Keef's a gangsta rapper who promotes violence ... and claimed that's the real reason he's getting heat on the streets. As we reported, shots were fired at Keef last weekend in NYC, but missed.

6ix9ine insists the violence isn't coming from him ... and claims he's never even shot a gun.

But, you've gotta see his reaction to all the violence around him lately. Tekashi says it's just part of life for rappers, and ditto for fans. And then -- because the Keef beef isn't enough -- he hurled a shot at J. Cole and his fans!

Tommy Lee's fiancee ain't hiding it, they've recorded themselves bangin' ... you're just not gonna see it. At least that's their plan.

We got Brittany Furlan at the Topanga Mall Tuesday, and she spilled some tea about their relationship -- about their wedding fake out, when they're REALLY tying the knot and, uh, yeah ... sex tapes.

Brittany copped to it, but the long (ha ha) and short of it is ... sounds like it's something they've done more than once. She assured our guy, the recordings won't be for sale.

Not to burst her bubble, but the famous Tommy and Pamela Anderson tape wasn't for sale, either -- it was reportedly stolen out of their home safe.

One more deet ... Brit tells us where she and Tommy definitely did NOT record their sex.

Kenny Loggins is ready to ride into the "Danger Zone" again, but he doesn't necessarily want to do it alone.

Loggins recorded the classic "Top Gun" theme song back in the '80s and it was a monster hit. To put it into perspective the "Top Gun" soundtrack ended up being the best-selling soundtrack of 1986.

The sequel, called "Top Gun: Maverick," is shooting down in San Diego with Tom Cruise back in the pilot seat and, when we got Loggins at LAX Tuesday, he told us he'd put some feelers out for the 2.0 version of the song.

Loggins wouldn't reveal who he's got in mind, but gave a bunch of clues. He also says he's cool with them taking the reigns on the song.

Ben Simmons was flying solo in Hollywood on Tuesday ... with no Kendall Jenner in sight after she was spotted making out with another dude in NYC.

Ben and Kendall had been pretty inseparable lately ... with dinners and bike rides all around town.

But, after Kendall sucked face with 18-year-old Anwar Hadid -- Gigi and Bella's little bro -- seems the Philadelphia 76ers superstar is ready to move on.

Ben hit up Catch in West Hollywood -- one of the hottest restaurants in town and a paparazzi hornet's nest ... where stars often go to be seen.

Seems he wanted to make a statement without having to say anything.

Meanwhile, there are now reports Ben's ex-girlfriend, Tinashe, is moving on too -- allegedly hanging out with Kendall Jenner's ex-BF, Blake Griffin.

A bible Whitney Houston left behind when she moved out of her Newport Beach luxury rental is now being sold by her former landlord ... for a whopping $95k.

Whitney rented the home from 2009-2011. The owner says he found the bible in a box along with some clothes and CDs by the trash after she'd moved out. He says he had signed an NDA and contacted Houston's agent about the left-behind items, but was told he could keep them.

The bible, which is being sold through Moments in Time, has Whitney's handwriting all over it. There are pages documenting life events. For instance, under marriage Whitney scribbled in her name and Robert B. Brown and the date July 18, 1992, which matches up. Under births, it lists Bobbi K. Kristina and her birthday March 4, 1993.

The owner sold the home in 2012, and says he threw out all the other stuff Houston left behind except the bible because he thought it was "interesting." And a good investment, if he finds a buyer.

Lil Scrappy just got the same treatment from cops that Offset received after crashing his whip -- he won't be facing prosecution over the accident ... at least for now.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that police have closed their investigation into Scrappy's violent car wreck over the weekend -- which left him and a friend hospitalized and seriously injured. As we reported ... Scrappy says he doesn't remember the crash or the aftermath.

We're told cops didn't find any evidence of drugs or alcohol, and no other cars or witnesses were involved ... which led to their decision not to pursue criminal charges against the driver -- whom they believe was Scrappy.

What police did find, however, was nearby surveillance footage that captured the crash, which cops say shows Scrappy's car veering off the road, hitting a utility pole. Scrappy blamed it on exhaustion.

Here's the kicker ... although Scrappy won't be charged, sources say the case could be reopened if, God forbid, someone dies. Remember, Scrappy's friend, Ca$ino Roulette, was in ICU because his injuries were so serious.

Rick Ross wants to brush up his fighting skills -- so, he strapped on the gloves and hit the boxing gym with Adrien Broner ... and he looks pretty good!

Tha Boss was throwing some decent jabs, some combos and a hard right hand ... even knocked Broner's mitt right off!

Not saying Ross is ready to take a pro fight or anything ... but he's moving pretty well -- especially after recovering from a medical scare back in March.

Broner's last fight was back in April -- when he fought to a draw against Jessie Vargas. There are reports the two are closing in on a deal for a rematch.
