Bruno Mars was just as shocked as everyone by the news Cardi B was backing out of touring with him to take care of her baby ... and now his opening act for his impending tour is totally up in the air.

Sources connected to Bruno's tour -- slated to kick off in Sept. -- tell us he's without an opener and, so far, there has been no replacement made for Cardi. We're told Bruno's people were burning up the phones Friday ... starting conversations with reps from a number of musicians but nothing is close to being locked down.

Our sources say Cardi's decision to back out of the tour has created some issues ... dancers were hired, costumes made and stage backdrops built.

As we reported ... Cardi backed out of her gig with Bruno because she "underestimated this whole mommy thing." She told fans she needs more time to recover and isn't ready to part with her daughter, Kulture, while she goes on the road.

Mars replied with a heartfelt message of support and understanding, adding ... "We love you Cardi and we will play Bodak Yellow every night in your honor."

12:00 PM PT -- Michelle just shared a message of gratitude for all the love and support she's received the past 2 weeks. She included words of encouragement for those battling with depression like herself ... and even tossed in a joke and a brag about Beyonce's mom cooking her a huge meal.

Beyonce and Kelly Rowland immediately dropped what they were doing when they heard Michelle Williams checked into a mental health facility to treat her depression ... and, like good, longtime friends, they reached out to offer their support.

Sources close to Destiny's Child tell TMZ ... Bey and Kelly were incredibly sad after learning Michelle had been struggling with depression and was having such a hard time dealing with it she sought professional help.

We're told both Beyonce and Kelly offered many words of encouragement, expressing their love for her and letting her know -- if Michelle needed anything, they were there to help.

Lil Pump's clearly tired of the crazy L.A. heatwave ... thus bringing some much needed relief with a burst of rain with Benjamins.

The "Gucci Gang" rapper was at Sam's After Dark strip club in L.A. around 6 AM Thursday when he posted up in the joint's parking lot for what appears to be an impromptu photo shoot. You can see LP -- along with rapper Smokepurpp -- on top of what appears to be a Rolls-Royce, grabbing stacks lined up inside his waistband.

Hard to tell which track's blaring in the background or if they're shooting a new music video, but what's clear ... it's got Pump pumped the hell up because he made the weather outside go from frightful to delightful (if only for a few minutes).

No good vibrations here -- longtime Beach Boys member David Marks was arrested in a domestic dispute with his wife, but it sounds like she was the instigator ... according to law enforcement.

We're told police responded to a dispute earlier this month in the San Fernando Valley between David and his wife, Carrieann Marks. After investigating, cops placed both David and Carrieann in cuffs and hauled them off to jail.

David was arrested and booked for resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer -- a misdemeanor -- and Carrieann got busted for domestic violence against a spouse ... also a misdemeanor. They didn't look too happy in their mug shots ... usually no one is.

The details of the incident in question remain unclear.

LeBron James is being offered some hip-hop help from one of the biggest new rappers in the game ... Trippie Redd, who's telling TMZ Sports exactly how he'd use LeBron musically.

We got Trippie in Beverly Hills and wanted his opinion of LeBron's rapping, so we let him hear James' freestyle from a couple years ago.

Trippie took it in ... but didn't just give us a review, he gave us a plan -- a plan on how to make LeBron a viable musician ... and it sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

Redd also told us he's 100% sure Kobe is coming out of retirement to play with LeBron next year, pleading his case to our camera guy.

Wilmer Valderrama looked worried sick when he visited Demi Lovato at the hospital.

Wilmer hit up Cedars-Sinai in L.A. Thursday afternoon and stayed with her for about 5 hours. He also visited Demi Wednesday ... a day after she was rushed to the hospital for an overdose.

The 38-year-old actor and 25-year-old singer broke up in June 2016 after dating for about 6 years ... but they remained close, so it's no surprise he rushed to Demi's side when she landed in the hospital.

50 Cent's going with the ole "everyone's doing it, Mom" explanation for why he posted a screengrab from 'Love and Hip Hop' star Teairra Mari's sex tape.

Fiddy filed his response to Teairra's revenge porn lawsuit, and in the docs he says the image he posted -- showing Teairra with ejaculate on her face -- was already all over the Internet when he reposted it. He says the fact others beat him to the punch protects him legally.

As for Teairra's argument he went beyond a basic repost by applying a black & white filter "to highlight the color contrast of the semen" ... 50 says even if that's true, he didn't change the nature of the photo.

50 also echoes a statement the judge made last month -- that the photo doesn't fall under revenge porn because it doesn't show genitals or a sexual act in progress. In flagrante delicto, in Latin.

Demi Lovato could have died Tuesday from her overdose -- it was that serious -- sources connected to the singer tell TMZ.

We're told the 911 call did not come a minute too soon, because Demi was in dire straits. "She could have died," said a source with firsthand knowledge. Demi was unconscious when she was discovered at around 11:30 AM and the 911 call was placed.

TMZ broke the story ... Demi received Narcan to counter the effects of opioids. As we reported, Demi and those who were at the house refused to disclose the drug or drugs that caused her to OD.

TMZ obtained the 911 call ... in which the person at Demi's home asked the dispatcher if the emergency vehicles could come without sirens -- presumably because they wanted to keep the OD on the down-low. The dispatcher informed the caller the sirens would stay on.

Demi remains hospitalized. We're told those around her want her to enter a rehab facility when she's released, but ultimately the decision is squarely hers.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are reportedly engaged.

Nick popped the question a week ago ... the day coinciding with Priyanka's 36th birthday, according to People.

The mag says Nick got a Tiffany's store in NYC to shut down so he could buy the engagement ring on the DL.

Here's the thing ... as far as we can tell they've only been dating a little over 2 months.

They were seen together a while ago ... last year they posed at the Met Gala, but they said they were just friends. That seems to be the case, because Nick was dating other women after that. Remember back in March when Nick helped a woman who fell off a bike in Australia and was seen making out with her later that night. We later learned the 2 had been dating.

It seems something's in the air. TMZ broke the story Justin Bieber popped the question to Hailey Baldwin after just a month of dating. And Nick's older brother, Joe, got engaged to "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner last October.

Congrats!

Demi Lovato's presence was felt even in her absence ... thanks to the Cheat Codes.

The EDM trio -- best known for their hit song "No Promises" featuring Demi -- replaced Demi when she was forced to cancel her headlining appearance Thursday in Atlantic City. The Cheat Codes stepped in and, of course, gave Demi a huge shout-out and dedicated "No Promises" to her.

As we reported .... Demi canceled her gigs in Atlantic City and Toronto. FOX also yanked her "Beat Shazam" guest appearance that was scheduled to air the night she was hospitalized.

Tina Turner did what no parent should ever have to do ... bid a final goodbye to their child when she spread her son's ashes off the California coast.

The legendary singer posted this tweet early Friday morning and said, "My saddest moment as a mother. On Thursday, July 19, 2018, I said my final goodbye to my son, Craig Raymond Turner, when I gathered with family and friends to scatter his ashes off the coast of California."

She went on to say, "He was fifty-nine when he died so tragically, but he will always be my baby."

As we first reported, Tina's firstborn son, who was in the real estate business, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Studio City, CA on July 3, 2018.

#RIP

Cardi B's baby is her number one priority right now, and because of that ... she's canceling her Bruno Mars' tour gig this fall.

Cardi just made the announcement, saying she thought 6 weeks would be enough time for her to recover mentally and physically after giving birth to her baby girl ... but she "underestimated this whole mommy thing."

She adds she thought she'd be able to bring Kulture on tour, but doctors told her it's not healthy for her baby to be on the road ... and she's not ready to leave her behind.

Cardi says it's been the hardest decision to make, but thanked Bruno for his support and understanding.

Bruno replied to Cardi with a heartfelt message, saying, "You are absolutely doing the right thing," adding, "We love you Cardi and we will play Bodak Yellow every night in your honor."

Demi Lovato's friends wanted to keep her OD on the DL ... asking paramedics to come to her house without sirens.

In the 911 call from Lovato's house -- obtained by TMZ -- the caller remains calm while taking orders from the dispatcher. As the ambulance approached, the dispatcher let the caller know they'd soon hear sirens to which the caller responded, requesting they be shut off ... seemingly to keep the situation private from neighbors. However, the dispatcher says that's just not possible.

We broke the story ... Demi was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering an overdose, which law enforcement believed was from heroin. However, a source close to the singer said it wasn't heroin, but refused to divulge the source of the OD.

Demi's emergency came after an all-night party that started with a birthday celebration for one of her backup dancers at Saddle Ranch in WeHo.

As we reported ... Lovato had been struggling with drugs for weeks, even before last month's public confession of a relapse on her song, "Sober."

Check out the initial dispatch audio (below). You hear the dispatcher for the L.A. Fire Department calling LAPD and saying, "I thought maybe you guys better go on something like this." It's unclear if he's saying the LAPD should go out because Demi is a celebrity, or because of a drug overdose. The call is redacted, so we don't know if Demi's name or the OD was mentioned.

50 Cent was mum on his feud with Floyd Mayweather but proved once again why he's a successful business man ... jumping at an opportunity to promote Kendrick Lamar on his show, "Power."

50 was at LAX Thursday, where our photog peppered him with questions about his back and forth with Floyd -- the two have been trading jabs on social media all week -- but 50 didn't say a peep.

Our photog then turned the focus to Kendrick Lamar's upcoming guest spot on "Power" and 50 was all ears -- giving mad props -- even talking awards.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin will soon swap wedding vows -- but for now, they're happy swapping spit -- and doing it out in the open at an NYC restaurant.

JB and Baldwin were at 12 Chairs Cafe in Brooklyn Thursday for a light lunch, but went heavy on the PDA for everyone else in the place. The two have been on an East Coast tour as of late ... heading upstate to visit Hailey's family then swinging down to Georgia for a personal golf lesson.

It's been almost a month since the Biebs popped the question in The Bahamas and the young love buzz is clearly still strong.

As for wedding plans -- those are still in the works -- but it's already on track to be one hell of a honeymoon.

Demi Lovato was found unconscious in her bed after a long night of partying, and a panicked assistant called 911 ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the matter tell us ... Demi had invited some of her friends back to her house early Tuesday morning after a party on the Sunset Strip to celebrate the birthday of one of her backup dancers.

It's unclear how long the party lasted, but Demi went to sleep and, at around 11 AM Tuesday one of her assistants became concerned because Demi hadn't come out of her bedroom. The assistant entered the room and found Demi unresponsive, tried waking her and when she couldn't ... she called 911.

When paramedics arrived Demi was still unconscious. Someone at the home told paramedics Demi had been partying all night, and we're told EMTs then determined they were dealing with an overdose. They quickly administered Narcan -- an antidote to opioid ODs.
