La gira "Final Lap" de 50 Cent acaba de convocar a su mayor invitado hasta la fecha: Eminem, quien le dio a la multitud la sorpresa de su vida a las afueras de su ciudad natal.

La gira hizo una parada en Clarkston el domingo por la noche en el Pine Knob Amphitheater y se puede escuchar el lugar prácticamente en erupción cuando Eminem subió al escenario para interpretar su verso "Patiently Waiting" del clásico LP de Fif "Get Rich or Die Tryin".

El rapero además se quedó para interpretar "Crack a Bottle", de su propio álbum "Relapse", y animó al público con motivo de las celebraciones de HipHop50, un hito en el que ambos artistas tienen mucho que ver.

Como seguramente habrás oído cientos de veces Dr. Dre fichó a Eminem, que a su vez fichó a 50, ¡¡¡y todos juntos vendieron un monton de discos!!!

Em llamó a 50 uno de los "mejores amigos" que ha conocido" y la unión sigue viento en popa con varios proyectos programados para un futuro próximo y 50 está a punto de recibir su certificado de Diamante por "Get Rich" en cualquier momento.

*NSYNC's JC Chasez and Lance Bass are teasing the potential for fans to see more of the group ... and it sounds like we shouldn't rule out anything just yet!

We got JC at LAX, where he told us how fun it was to get back in the studio to record "Better Place," the song featured in the upcoming film, "Trolls Band Together" ... especially coming 2 decades after their last studio effort.

Now, sources have told us the track would be a one-off for the fellas -- but we couldn't pass up the chance to ask JC his feelings about *NSYNC doing more ... especially because their reunion's drawn so much attention.

He played it coy ... telling us he's just focused on the single for now, but he didn't completely crush the hopes of fans, and even said, "anything is possible."

Lance was also at LAX, separate from JC, and when we asked him the same thing, he had an interesting response -- putting the focus on the ongoing writers' and actors' strike.

He said if people wanna see the group reunite again -- for a tour or a full album -- they better start supporting the strike.

Now, this could be one of 2 things -- he could just be using his platform to shine a light on the thousands of union workers out of jobs. Or ... it's possible the gang is already in talks for another fun reunion, but the strikes might be throwing a wrench in whatever they want to do next.

Just some food for thought. 🤔

As you know, the band's iconic reunion at the MTV VMAs had people in shock, including Taylor Swift, who accepted an award from them early in the night.

Seeing them in the studio is a great sign, too ... and, at the very least, JC and Lance are saying there's a chance for them to do more.

Halle Berry is still firin' shots at Drake after using a pic of her covered in slime for his new song ... clarifying that he did reach out for her permission, and she said no way.

Folks have been chiming in all weekend about the cover art for Drake's new track, "Slime You Out," featuring SZA ... one fan asked why Halle's so pressed about a photo that's owned by Getty Images.

She had an answer --"Cuz he asked me and I said NO that’s why." She added, "Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do ! That was the f*** you to me. Not cool You get it?"

Halle went online shortly after Drizzy dropped the single Friday, cryptically shading him.

She said Drake didn't get her permission to use the photo of her from the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards -- "When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!"

Drake still hasn't responded, but he also went the cryptic route Sunday, sharing a snap of him at the cards table with a shirt that says, "What the hell is going on?"

Is Halle Berry overreacting by being mad about Drake using her photo for his new track's cover art? Vote below.

Maren Morris se está divorciando del género musical en el que se hizo famosa, diciendo que la música country de hoy en día es irreconocible para ella y se ha transformado en pura política.

La cantante, que se formó en el country y, durante mucho tiempo fue considerada una de las favoritas de Nashville. Se ha ido a la "tierra quemada" con sus compañeros después de publicar dos nuevas canciones esta semana que hablan de su ira y desilusión sobre cómo están las cosas en el negocio.

En uno de los vídeos musicales de sus nuevas canciones, se puede ver a Maren alejándose de una ciudad en llamas y ha insistido en ello en una entrevista con el LA Times.

Dice: "Pensé que me gustaría quemarla hasta los cimientos y empezar de nuevo. Pero se está quemando sola sin mi ayuda". Continúa diciendo que se siente muy distanciada de muchas de las historias que cuentan los artistas country de hoy en día y añade que ha intentado evitarlo.

Maren continúa diciendo que se ha cansado de intentar encajar su estilo musical en el paradigma del country tradicional, señalando que todo el género le parece rancio y fuera de onda últimamente.

Ella va a la yugular diciendo esto: "Después de los años de Trump, los prejuicios de la gente estaban en plena exhibición. Simplemente reveló quiénes eran realmente las personas y que estaban orgullosas de ser misóginas, racistas, homofóbicas y transfóbicas."

Maren termina con este pensamiento final: "Todas estas cosas estaban siendo celebradas y estaba encajando extrañamente con esta rama hipermasculina de la música country. Yo lo llamo butt rock".

Maren Morris is divorcing herself from the music genre she got famous in -- saying modern-day country music is unrecognizable to her ... and has morphed into pure political posturing.

The singer -- who cut her teeth in country and, for a long time was considered a Nashville darling -- has gone scorched earth on her peers ... this after dropping two new tracks this week that speak to her anger and disillusionment over where things stand in the biz.

In one of the music videos for her new songs, Maren can be seen walking away from a burning town ... and she hit that point home in a follow-up interview with the LA Times.

She says, "I thought I'd like to burn it to the ground and start over. But it's burning itself down without my help." She goes on to say that she feels very distanced from a lot of the stories that mainstream country artists are telling today ... adding she's tried avoiding that.

Maren goes on to say that she's done trying to fit her musical style within the traditional country paradigm -- noting that she finds the entire genre stale and out of touch lately.

She goes for the jugular by saying this ... "After the Trump years, people’s biases were on full display. It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic."

Maren finishes with this final thought -- "All these things were being celebrated, and it was weirdly dovetailing with this hyper-masculine branch of country music. I call it butt rock."

Travis Kelce is said to be "hanging out" with Taylor Swift -- something the NFL world just can't get enough of ... and which bled into Sunday's broadcast of his big game.

NFL announcer Ian Eagle -- who called the Chiefs game Sunday -- snuck in a Swift reference after TK scored his first touchdown of the season against the Jags. It was a simple toss from Mahomes into the end zone ... but a big deal since Trav missed last week's opener.

As Travis and his teammates were celebrating ... Eagle said, "Kelce finds a blank space for the score!" His broadcasting partner didn't say anything, but everyone picked up on it.

Even right after this, Eagle kept it going ... saying Kelce was able to shake it off considering he didn't play last week following an injury. So, yeah, everyone's still giddy about the news.

ICYMI ... word of Travis and Taylor possibly dating first started to percolate earlier this week after The Messenger reported they've been seeing each other lately. Other outlets confirmed they're spending time together ... but stopped short of saying they're full-blown dating.

Based on what Travis's bro had to say about it on TNF ... sounds like they're just banging.

Remember, back in July ... Travis revealed he tried shooting his shot with Taylor during one of her concerts -- but apparently got denied at the time. Since sharing this story, however, it sounds like TS got in touch and then some -- which just goes to show, manifesting is real!

If Taylor and Trav are, in fact, keeping it casual ... that lines up with how she handled the Matty Healy fling earlier this year. TayTay's obviously doing her thing post-Joe Alwyn.

Tinashe says she regrets her collaboration with Chris Brown -- something he heard loud and clear, and which he didn't kindly to ... trashing her by suggesting she's not big time.

The singer was on a podcast earlier this week and at one point, she was asked about her R. Kelly and CB joints in 2015 ... which made Tinashe cringe, not to mention explain. She actually laughs out loud in distancing herself, saying she didn't want to work with them.

For the R. Kelly team-up -- 'Let's Be Real Now' -- she says she blocks that memory out of her mind. Tinashe also says it was strictly a label decision ... and says the same thing applied for her Chris collab. From her POV, having him on the song didn't make sense.

Of course, most media outlets ran headlines pointing out Tinashe seemingly bashing Chris -- even though she really didn't go all that hard on him -- and Chris caught wind of it.

He responded to an IG post that captured a headline which read, "Tinashe Regrets 2015 Collaborations with R. Kelly & Chris Brown: 'That Is So Embarrassing.'" In the comments, Chris wrote, "NAME 5 TINASHE songs or die ... EVERYBODY DEAD."

After Chris's burn, the Internet has reacted a couple different ways -- naturally, many people are slamming Chris for trying to diminish Tinashe's career ... and some are even saying they couldn't name 5 Chris Brown songs with a gun to their head. Twitter's calling cap, though.

Fact is, Chris has far more recognizable of a catalog than Tinashe does ... and a more decorated music career in general. Others are also saying the song they did -- that Tinashe now regrets -- is actually a bop ... going on to speculate that she's only saying this because it's fashionable these days to stiff-arm CB over his controversial personal history.

Joyner Lucas put it quite well in a video ... saying he'd defend Chris to the death, and that he wouldn't accept any slander of him. Per usual, everyone's divided on the issue.

As for Tinashe ... she's moving on. On Sunday, she appeared to respond to all the hubbub, taking to Twitter and writing ... "Anyways ... stream NEEDS." It's her new single, and that's clearly what she wants to focus on -- as opposed to ancient history.

Still, it is interesting that Chris continues to be as polarizing as he is. Anytime somebody works with him these days -- or even reflects on working with him -- it creates a buzz.

Taylor Swift puede estar saliendo con Travis Kelce, al menos hay humo que apunta a eso, pero el sábado fue noche de chicas.

Taylor y su amiga, Blake Lively, fueron a Zero Bond en Nueva York. Es la segunda vez que las 2 comparten el pan en una semana. El lunes pasado, Taylor fue al restaurante Emilio's Ballato con Blake y su marido Ryan Reynolds junto con Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, y Gigi Hadid.

Taylor tuvo un fin de semana muy ocupado, comiendo el viernes con Selena Gomez en un restaurante cerca de la finca de Taylor en Rhode Island.

Gomez y Taylor son amigas desde hace años y Selena subrayó su amistad con palabras de lealtad.

Selena escribió: "Thas my best frien -she a real bad", haciendo referencia a la letra del tema de "Best Friend" de Swift.

"Dancing With The Stars" siempre está dispuesto a aprovechar los rumores más grandes de Hollywood y casi tuvo un ménage à trois para las edades.

Como sabemos, Mauricio Umansky se pondrá los zapatos de baile en la próxima temporada. Las nuevas noticias son que los productores también se pusieron en contacto con su esposa, Kyle Richards, y su buena amiga Morgan Wade.

Bueno, las damas le dieron al programa un 1 sobre 10 para esa propuesta, pero ¿no habría sido increíble? Suponemos que los 3 habrían tenido bailarines profesionales como compañeros pero tal vez habrían intentado algo nuevo si el trío estuviera totalmente a bordo.

Nos han dicho que los 3 fueron abordados al mismo tiempo, pero Kyle y Morgan pasaron. Ambas mujeres están ahora en París rodando el documental de Morgan.

La cosa es que no habría tensión si hubiera sucedido. Sabemos que Mauricio y Kyle todavía se llevan muy bien, e incluso Mauricio y Morgan se ven cercanos.

Kyle y Mauricio siguen viviendo bajo el mismo techo, aunque su estado sigue siendo "separados".

Taylor Swift may be hooking up with Travis Kelce -- at least there is smoke pointing to that -- but Saturday was girl's night out.

Taylor and her bud, Blake Lively, hit up Zero Bond in NYC ... it's the second time the 2 broke bread in a week. Last Monday, T.S. hit up Emilio's Ballato restaurant with Blake and her hubby Ryan Reynolds along with Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, and Gigi Hadid.

Taylor had a busy weekend ... chowing down Friday with Selena Gomez at a restaurant near Taylor's Rhode Island estate.

Gomez and Taylor have been friends for years, and Selena underscored their friendship with words of loyalty.

Selena wrote, "Thas my best frien -she a real bad," referencing lyrics from Saweetie's track, "Best Friend."

"Dancing With The Stars" is always down to tap into the biggest rumors in H-Wood, and almost had a ménage à trois for the ages.

As you know, Mauricio Umansky will be puttin' his dancing shoes on for the upcoming season. What you DIDN'T know ... we've learned producers also reached out to his estranged wife, Kyle Richards, and her good friend, Morgan Wade.

Well, the ladies gave DWTS a 1 out of 10 for that proposal, but wouldn't it have been awesome? We're guessing all 3 would have had professional dancers as partners, but maybe they would have tried something new if the troika was fully on board.

We're told the 3 of them were all approached at the same time, but Kyle and Morgan passed. Both women are now in Paris, shooting Morgan's documentary.

Thing is ... there'd be no tension had it happened. We know Mauricio and Kyle are still getting along great, and even Mauricio and Morgan seem kosher.

Kyle and Mauricio are still living under the same roof, although their status is still "separated."

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are married again!!! They went back to the scene of the OG nuptials and recommitted.

Chrissy and John dressed to the 9's Saturday and renewed their vows in Lake Como .... where they tied the knot 10 years ago.

This time around, they brought a gaggle of kids ... Luna, Miles, Esti and Wren, who's only 3 months.

Even the kids sported their finest duds, including Miles, who wore a mini version of dad's tux.

They've been together way longer than their marriage. John and Chrissy hooked up in 2006 -- 17 years ago -- meeting on the set of one of John's music videos.

¡¡¡Chrissy Teigen y John Legend se han vuelto a casar!!!

Chrissy y John renovaron sus votos en el Lago Como, donde se casaron hace 10 años.

Esta vez, trajeron una pandilla de niños; Luna, Miles, Esti y Wren, que sólo tiene 3 meses.

Los niños lucieron sus mejores galas, incluido Miles, que llevaba una versión en miniatura del esmoquin de papá.

Llevan juntos mucho más tiempo que casados. John y Chrissy se conocieron en 2006, hace 17 años, en el rodaje de uno de los vídeos musicales de John.

El drama se desarrolló el 30 de agosto en L.A. Crypto.com Arena, y en la llamada de emergencia obtenida por TMZ Hip Hop, un operador estaba bastante sorprendido al escuchar que alguien había sufrido un trauma contundente a causa de un micrófono.

Como informamos, el micrófono le cayó a Bryhana Monegain de Power 106 en la frente, y la dejó sangrando profusamente ... lo que provocó la llamada al 911. No está claro qué tendría de relevante para la lesión, pero, por alguna razón, el despachador preguntó: "¿Quién actúa esta noche?".

A pesar de la pregunta desenfadada, el operador se aseguró de enviar asistencia médica al lugar de inmediato. Para ser justos, también preguntó si Bryhana estaba despierta.

Resulta que Bryhana sufrió múltiples laceraciones en la cabeza y la cara tras ser golpeada con el micrófono.

Al parecer, el aparato no funcionaba correctamente y 50 lo tiró con rabia...pero puede que acabe arrepintiéndose.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que han completado su investigación, y el caso está ahora en la oficina del Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles siendo revisado por posibles cargos de delito grave.

The saying, "keep your eye on the prize" comes to mind when ya hear the 911 audio from 50 Cent's hurled mic incident -- although a radio DJ suffered a head injury, the dispatcher wanted to know who was performing.

The drama unfolded on August 30 at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, and on the emergency call obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, a dispatcher is quite surprised to hear someone had suffered blunt forced trauma ... from a microphone of all things

As we reported, the mic smashed Power 106's Bryhana Monegain square in the forehead, and left her bleeding profusely ... prompting the call to 911. It's unclear why it would be relevant to the injury, but, for some reason, the dispatcher inquired ... "Who's performing tonight?"

Despite the lighthearted query, the dispatcher was sure to send medical assistance to the scene right away. To be fair, he did also ask if Bryhana was awake.

As it turns out, Bryhana suffered multiple lacerations to the head and face after being decked with the mic.

The device apparently had been malfunctioning, and 50 chucked the thing in anger ... but he might end up seriously regretting that.

Law enforcement sources tell us police have completed their investigation, and the case is now at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office being reviewed for possible felony charges.

Rolling Stone's founder just lost decision-making power in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- all because he called Black and female artists inarticulate ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Hall tells us Jann Wenner has been booted from the famed HOF's Board of Directors for their Foundation -- this after a vote was taken among the current members.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the only dissenting vote was from Jon Landau.

Jann Wenner -- who helped launch RS Magazine way back in 1967 -- did an interview with the NYT this week in which he talks about who he interviewed for his forthcoming offering, "The Masters," which contains wide-ranging sit-downs with 7 rock and roll gods.

That includes Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Jerry Garcia and Pete Townsend ... all of whom, as the NYT journo noted, are white and male.

The Q: "There are seven subjects in the new book; seven white guys. In the introduction, you acknowledge that performers of color and women performers are just not in your zeitgeist. Which to my mind is not plausible for Jann Wenner. Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, the list keeps going ... What do you think is the deeper explanation for why you interviewed the subjects you interviewed and not other subjects?

Wenner's answer is telling. He says, "When I was referring to the zeitgeist, I was referring to Black performers, not to the female performers, OK? Just to get that accurate. The selection was not a deliberate selection. It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way. The people had to meet a couple criteria, but it was just kind of my personal interest and love of them."

He adds, "Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level." The reporter pushes back, incredulously asking if he really doesn't think Joni Mitchell was articulate enough to talk music on an intellectual level.

Wenner responded, "It’s not that they’re not creative geniuses. It’s not that they’re inarticulate, although, go have a deep conversation with Grace Slick or Janis Joplin. Please, be my guest. You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock."
