Tom Petty's family has cops taking a closer look at his wardrobe, at least the items that ended up on an auction block ... and we've learned it's a grand theft investigation.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the late singer's family members filed the report last week after discovering Tom's belongings were up for auction. They're pissed because, according to them, the items were last seen getting loaded into an L.A. storage unit.

We're told LAPD took a grand theft report and will now investigate the matter.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom's jackets, shoes, hats and clothes showed up in an RR Auction lot last month ... but then the family called foul, claiming Tom's gear was actually stolen.

The auction house says Tom's stuff was consigned by a third party to be auctioned starting June 22 ... and they say the gear is from Tom's former home in Encino, CA.

After Tom's family raised concerns, RR Auction pulled the items and told us they were "aggressively investigating the situation."

We reached out to the auction house regarding the new police report ... so far no word back.

As the man himself once sang, the waiting is the hardest part!

Milton Powell -- aka, Big Pokey, a longtime Houston rapper -- died this weekend after a scary fall onstage that came out of nowhere ... and which ultimately took his life.

The Texas-based MC collapsed at a bar in neighboring Beaumont late Saturday night. Video is circulating showing Pokey standing on what appears to be a two-story stage, where he seems to be performing ... as he has a mic in his hand, and he's interacting with a DJ.

Suddenly, BP lets out a big breath into the microphone ... and he starts to tip backwards, completely losing his footing/going unconscious and falling hard onto the stage. It's jarring.

At first, everyone seems to think it might not, perhaps, be that serious ... as you can hear some snickers in the crowd. However, it quickly becomes clear something is wrong -- and everyone around starts to attend to him in a panic ... seeing that he isn't waking back up.

A woman -- who says she's a nurse -- rushes to his side and tries to administer aid. Everyone else is fanning air and trying to help regain consciousness ... to no avail. Reports say EMS showed up a little after midnight and that he was transported to a hopsital.

Once there, he eventually died ... although it's unclear what the cause of death may be.

His rep confirmed Pokey's passing with a statement, saying ... "It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Milton ‘Big Pokey’ Powell."

They add, "Big Pokey passed away ... He was well loved by his family, his friends, and his loyal fans. In the coming days, we will release information about his celebration of life and how the public can pay their respects. We ask that you respect his family and their privacy during this difficult time. Big Pokey will forever be ‘The Hardest Pit in the Litter!'"

Fellow Houston rapper Bun B shared his condolences online, writing ... "I wasn’t ready for this. One of the most naturally talented artists in the city. Low key, humble mountain of a man who moved with honor and respect. He was easy to love and hard to hate. He’d pull up, do what he had to do and head home. One of the pillars of our city. If heart of gold was a person. Iconic member of the SUC. There will never be another and will be missed dearly. We love and honor you Sensei. Rest in heaven."

Pokey was huge in the local scene, having gotten his start by collaborating with DJ Screw ... and helping launch the chopped-and-screwed style of the South that became wildly popular. He's put out tons of projects over the years ... and was considered a Houston legend.

Some A-list performers will not play on for the Beyond Wonderland EDM festival's final day as police investigate a mass shooting that killed 2 people and injured several others.

The bullets started flying Saturday night around 8:30 PM at a campground near Gorge Amphitheater, where the festival was being held in Central Washington state. Police say the suspect was firing randomly into the crowd as he fled the area.

Cops were able to track down the suspect and arrest him, and they say he also suffered a gunshot wound. They've yet to release any other info about the suspect.

National data shows we've now reached 307 mass shootings in 2023.

Jazz music is all about improvisation, and one eager Jazz Festival fan proved it when her big moment at the famed Hollywood Bowl came crashing down in spectacular fashion!!!

So, the Bowl's annual Jazz Festival is going down this weekend, and on Saturday evening St. Paul and the Broken Bones had the crowd all fired up ... especially one fan who saw her chance to get close to lead singer Paul Janeway.

As Paul was walking through the crowd, she jumped onto the ledge where he was standing ... not realizing it was very narrow, and immediately plummeted through a canopy!

The crowd gasped, and it sure looked like she would be injured -- remember the band's name, too -- but as quickly as she went down, the woman bounced right back up, aided by Paul and security.

Wild moment, and hard to tell what's more impressive -- her rebound move after the fall, or the fact Paul and the band never missed a beat!

Security escorted the fan away, but, miraculously, there was no call for an ambulance.

Shawn Mendes is dipping his foot back into the pool of live performances ... nearly a year after pulling the plug on his tour, the singer made a surprise appearance with Ed Sheeran.

Ed's own tour stopped in Shawn's native Toronto Saturday night, and fans were thrilled to see Shawn join him to duet on Ed's track, "Lego House."

SM looked totally at ease as he harmonized with Ed, and both guys played acoustic guitars. It's exactly the kinda thing Shawn's fans have been jonesin' for since last summer.

As we reported, Shawn abruptly canceled his 2022 tour last July citing post-pandemic anxiety and mental health issues.

As he put it at the time, "The reality is I was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away. After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I've never taken personally, to ground myself and come back stronger."

Quincy Jones suffered a medical emergency ... one serious enough that he decided he needed to be rushed to a hospital, but, luckily, it seems everything's going to be fine.

A rep for the legendary music producer tells TMZ ...  Quincy had a bad reaction to some food he ate, and out of an abundance of caution he called 911 for help.

Paramedics arrived at Quincy's L.A. home Saturday afternoon and transported him to the emergency room to get checked out.

Quincy was soon given the all-clear by doctors and released from the hospital ... his rep noted Quincy never lost consciousness and was in "great spirits" in the end.

It was a scary moment for the 28-time Grammy winner's loved ones, but, in the end, good news.

Lil Dicky's "Dave" series recently finished Season 3 with a big bang -- A-list cameos from Drake, Rachel McAdams and Brad Pitt, who's apparently a good rapper, so claims series star GaTa!!!

We caught up with GaTa at LAX, where he revealed fans might be getting more from Dicky and Drake ... like IRL. The scripted finale ended with Drizzy pump-faking like they were going to collab on a track.

GaTa says there's a strong possibility they'll create something down the line, as Dicky is currently working on music in between "Dave" seasons.

He can't confirm Season 4 is happening just yet, but if the fan who wanted to give him props in the middle of our interview is any indication, it'll return soon enough ... that is if the Writers' strike gets hammered out.

Brad Pitt's rap scene on the show also made trending topic waves and GaTa swears Mr. Fight Club can spit for real!!!

He says Hollywood elites all have dual and hidden talents, and BP -- like himself -- is no exception.

Dozens of statues Michael Jackson displayed at his Neverland Ranch are going back up for grabs ... but instead of a package deal this time, the art is up for sale individually.

Noble Art Lovers tells TMZ ... the private collector who owns 28 pieces from the singer's infamous California estate is still trying to sell the art, and is no longer seeking $2.5 million for the collection as a whole.

Instead, the entire collection is being sold separately, with most of the statues going for five figures ... shipping not included.

Michael's bronze statues include several images of children ... one such art piece is called "Kids and Tree Swing," and it's going for $150,000. Ditto for another one depicting kids, called "Follow the Leader."

TMZ broke the story ... Noble Art Lovers put the statues up for sale back in April 2021 as a package deal for $2.5 million ... and we're told some affluent potential buyers showed interest, but no one closed the deal.

Noble Art Lovers, based out of Dubai, hopes the separately priced statues will give more folks a chance to own a piece of Neverland.

Dads have been the talk of the town this weekend, and while it's important to recognize all the daddy duties ... it's also key to highlight what's going on underneath IT all ... take a good, hard look at these famous fathers, and see if you can identify which celebrated dad is in the sexy shot!

Assembled in this "Hot Celeb Dad Bods" gallery is a wide range of singers, actors, athletes and more ... all in all, it's DILFS galore! Put your celeb knowledge to the test, and see if you can eye which dads are baring it all!

3:29 PM PST -- TMZ has obtained more footage that shows the moments before Kourtney started flashing her "I'm Pregnant" sign ... and yet a new angle of their passionate kiss.

Check out this video we got our hands on ... it's a new angle that shows what was going on ahead of the big reveal, and it looks like Kourt had a gang of support on hand ready for her to throw up the sign. Once she did, the Blink-182 guys saw it almost immediately ... and flagged Travis onstage. BTW, some of her sisters (and their kids) were there too ... a whole family affair, it seems.

Once Trav reached Kourtney in the front row, they started kissing ... or making out, rather. The angle we saw earlier didn't quite show what we have here -- a straight up lovefest.

Yeah, he's stoked to be a daddy again. Good stuff, indeed.

1:06 PM PST -- Travis Barker was truly stunned when he learned that his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was expecting a child ... which you can now see in full view in new video obtained by TMZ.

Check out this footage that shows the moment TB got the announcement communicated to him onstage. He seems to be genuinely confused at first, not really realizing the news is for him -- but once it all clicks, you can see his reaction ... shocked and overjoyed.

Just like other videos show, he hops down to embrace KK ... and they smooch. Sounds like the whole thing was just as much as a surprise for him as it was for everyone else.

Congrats again!

Kourtney Kardashian brought down the house at the Blink-182 concert Friday night with some earth-shattering news ... she's pregnant!!

The reality star was standing in a packed crowd watching her hubby Travis Barker and his bandmates perform Friday night at BMO Stadium in L.A. when she raised a large sign bearing an even larger message ... "Travis, I'm Pregnant."

Video of the super happy moment went viral ... showing Kourt smiling and jumping up and down with joy while holding the sign over her head.

After seeing the message, Travis stopped slapping the drums and jumped off stage to plant a big kiss on Kourt, celebrating their first child together.

Of course, everyone in the stadium -- fans and Trav's bandmates -- were cheering for the lovebirds. Kourt's sign, BTW, recreates a scene from Blink's "All the Small Things" music video.

And, no, it wasn't just for show ... Kourt later confirmed the pregnancy on her Instagram story.

As we reported, Kourt and Trav got hitched at a Santa Barbara courthouse in May 2022 after their decade-long friendship blossomed into a romance. A week later, they threw a more lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in Portofino, Italy.

Around this time, Kourt started documenting her struggles with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) -- a technique used to help people with fertility problems have babies.

Kourt even talked about it on her family's Hulu show, "The Kardashians," revealing her experience with IVF wasn't great and calling it "awful" at one point. Worse, Kourt said her prescribed medication for her IVF treatments caused her to go into menopause and, as a result, she fell into a depression and gained some weight.

She then put a pause on IVF altogether while freezing her eggs in the hopes of having her fourth child. While we don't know for sure, it's probably a good guess Kourt's egg freezing did the trick this time around. No word yet on No. 4's gender or name, but that should be forthcoming.

Kourtney shares three children with her ex Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 13, Penelope Disick, 10, and Reign Disick, 8. Travis, on the other hand, has 2 kids with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler: Landon Barker, 19, Alabama Barker, 17, plus his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24.

Now the couple can add one more kiddo to their enormous blended family list. Congrats you two!!

Kylie Jenner used a Tory Lanez song as background music in one of her latest social media posts ... and it's got people doing a double take -- perhaps rightly so.

The KarJenner influencer threw up a goofy TikTok Friday, where she's recording herself in the car and using a silly filter that makes her face look a little man-ish ... not to mention cartoonish. She's obviously enjoying it, hamming it up for the camera and posing.

It appears Kylie actually posted another video (without the filter on), but deleted it after.

Here's what's got folks scratching their heads ... a snippet of Tory's song, "Hurts Me," is playing over Kylie's vid -- and, yes, it would appear she chose it herself. We should note ... this filter is being used a lot right now -- and it's being coupled with TL's song ... for reasons beyond us. This appears to be some sort of a new challenge ... and KJ got in on it.

Of course, the reason Kylie's getting a little side-eye over her use of the song is the fact that she was tangentially tied to the Megan Thee Stallion shooting ... at least at first, anyway.

You'll recall ... the shooting took place after Tory, Meg and some other friends were hanging out at Kylie's house back in 2020 -- where they were chillin' in the pool and partying it up. In fact, attorneys during Tory's trial actually suggested he was flirting with Kylie that night.

As the story goes ... Meg appeared to be angry with Tory for seemingly trying to get with Kylie, and she left the kickback early ... with Tory staying behind. Eventually, Meg and her pal Kelsey came back for him -- and everything went downhill from there in the SUV.

As prosecutors argued in court, Tory allegedly shot at Megan ... and she was injured as a result. A jury found that to be true, and he was convicted on felony gun and assault charges.

Seeing how this whole thing kicked off at Kylie's crib ... some feel it's strange that she's publicly embracing Tory's song, even if it is in jest. On its face, at least to some, it almost feels like she's taking sides ... this after remaining relatively neutral throughout the saga.

The other weird thing here is ... Kylie actually made a cameo in Meg's 'WAP' music video with Cardi B -- and that, at the time, seemed to be a sign of solidarity with MTS.

Kodak Black was both star and sage to a group of South Florida children, whose spirits were clearly boosted at a pretty cool charity event.

TMZ Hip Hop got this footage of Kodak putting down his platinum raps at the Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Teen Leadership conference, where scores of young men and women were in attendance.

The event went down Wednesday night at the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, FL, and was put together by the org's Greater Fort Lauderdale Chapter to honor its top recruits.

We're told Kodak didn't give the crowd a skimpy performance, either. He rapped about 10 songs and, at the end, he stuck around and answered questions posed by the teen leaders about alternative careers ... and his own inspirations.

Kodak's on a tear right now ... his latest album "Pistolz & Pearlz" made for a Top 20 release and he also celebrated his 26th birthday this week.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are continuing a theme for the Kardashian family ... coming together to support their kids, despite a lot of past drama.

The exes both showed up for son Saint's basketball game Friday at the Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks ... though they both rolled up separately, with Kim bringing Saint to the game.

Kanye came with an entourage ... it doesn't look like his wife Bianca Censori was there this time ... but we've seen her support his kids recently, holding hands with North at Kanye's birthday party.

Kim and Kanye coming together to support Saint is an extension of what we've seen recently among the Kardashians.

Remember ... Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, Khloe Kardashian, Angela White (formerly Blac Chyna) and Tristan Thompson were all under the same roof earlier this month to celebrate their little ones' finishing preschool.

Gucci Mane had a few things to get off his chest on his new Lil Baby collab "Bluffin" ... an ode to cleaning up his act in and out of the rap game.

Midway on the track, Gucci took a shot at Wack 100's Clubhouse legacy, rapping ... "I want my M's up to one, two, three, four, five one-hundred (Go)/I ain't arguin' on no internet, I'm not Wack100 (No)."

Wack eventually got wind of the lyrics and, although he and Gucci share plenty of mutual friends, vowed to return fire on a diss track of his own after the weekend is over.

The longtime manager of both The Game and Blueface doesn't rap per se, but seems to think he can beat Gucci at his own game.

Priscilla Presley is signaling a family truce ... seemingly showing they all made nice after the end of a bitter dispute over her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley's trust.

Priscilla just posted a photo with her granddaughters ... Riley Keough and twins Harper and Finley. It's unclear when the photo was snapped, though Priscilla says it's from the twins' middle school graduation ... and it's currently grad season.

It's a pretty strong signal from Priscilla ... remember, she was recently battling with Riley over control of Lisa's trust after Elvis Presley's only child died suddenly.

As we reported, Priscilla and Riley ultimately settled their beef ... Riley is the sole trustee and Priscilla walked away with a seven-figure payday, though her request to be buried next to Elvis at Graceland was denied.

Riley filed legal docs this week asking the court to approve the settlement ... which also calls for Lisa's ex-husband Michael Lockwood to be the guardian ad litem regarding these estate matters for Harper and Finley.

Boosie Badazz went full out of the frying pan and into the fire over his gun case in San Diego, because while local prosecutors dropped charges ... they really just made way for the feds to go after him.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... federal agents nabbed Boosie Wednesday outside the San Diego courthouse where he thought he'd just gotten great news about the gun case. According to new docs we've obtained, ATF hauled him for possession of a weapon by a felon -- essentially, the same charge San Diego dropped.

In the federal docs, they say Boosie was seen on an Instagram live feed, back on May 6, with a gun tucked into the the waistband of his red jeans. The feds say San Diego PD was watching that IG feed and mobilized officers to pull over a vehicle that had Boosie riding in the back seat.

According to the feds, right before the Mercedes SUV pulled over, the SD officer noticed movement in the back seat they believe looked like someone "attempting to conceal firearms or illegal contraband" ... in their experience.

Once the vehicle was pulled over, Boosie told the officer he didn't have any weapons, but his security did. During the search, the cop found a loaded Hellcat 9mm in the guard's bag, and also a loaded Glock 9mm on the rear passenger seat.

All 3 people ... Boosie, his guard and driver were taken into custody, and cops say they heard Boosie yell at the guard, "You told me they were in the bag."

Once cops reviewed the IG footage, they matched up the Glock with the weapon in Boosie's waistband ... and that's why they busted him. Boosie was released from Louisiana State Prison in 2014 after serving more than 4 years for drug charges.
