Fat Joe keeps a world of luxury around him, and that includes his wheels ... recently snagging a $750K custom Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a bunch of sick features.

The Don ordered the custom Rolls-Royce 4 months ago -- an impromptu purchase after he saw a version of the wide-body Rolls while he was out in Dubai.

We're told Joe FaceTimed Will Castro from Unique Whips on Speedvision the second he saw the vehicle, and asked Will to build him one.

Will tells TMZ Hip Hop the job proved to be challenging for the team ... Joe demands the absolute best and the kits are made to order and delivered from Europe.

Joe's dropped $100k for the car's body, and Will and his crew added 24” wheels and tires ... the whole thing took the team over a month to build.

Will did all the bodywork, paint, carbon work and will be self-delivering Joe his new car this weekend. The latest cartraption marks the 3rd Rolls-Royce SUV Will and the team has done for Joe ... just last year, they hooked him up with a sweet RR orange-and-black ensemble.

Robin Thicke knows how to get the spooky party going; however, do you have what it takes to detect the minor switch-ups within these "blurred lines?" Twerk your way right into these two similar images ... Quick, before it's lights out!

The stylish singer looked cool and casual in L.A., recently enjoying a Halloween adventure at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. He may have posed next to a bloody clown, but can you get down with the discreet changes without getting your hands wet? 🤙

"You know you want it!"

Dee Snider is cool with politicians on both sides using his band's anthem on the campaign trail ... but he's drawing a line when it comes to anyone spewing QAnon conspiracies.

We got the Twisted Sister frontman at LAX and our photog asked him where he stands on politicians playing "We're Not Gonna Take It" ... now that campaign season is about to heat up.

Dee says Republicans and Democrats have his blessing to play the song at rallies, appearances and in ads ... but says the same does not hold true for any candidates who go full QAnon.

The issue with QAnon for Dee ... it's all a bunch of lies and BS, and he feels there's already enough of that in the world.

Dee's made his feelings on QAnon well-known on social media over the years ... and he's doubling down here.

We also asked Dee how he feels about the U.S. military using the song as a battle cry now that another war has erupted ... and he explains why the armed forces are more than welcome to rock out to Twisted Sister.

NLE Choppa's mom is worried sick for her son, saying she hasn't heard from him in hours ... and asking anyone who may have contact to get in touch with her ASAP.

Choppa's mom, Angela Potts, posted the concerning message Friday, writing, "Y’all help me pray over my child. He plans on moving back to Cottonwood where we worked hard to get out of just for a mixtape SMH! I ain’t talked to this boy in hours and he usually doesn’t do this. One thing I know about my son is that he doesn’t go ghost for any reason."

She continues with a message to her son, "Whatever your working on I pray GOD is guiding you. If y’all hear from him PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP ! To the fans he wants to please thanks a lot."

What's unclear is whether or not NLE gave Angela -- who is also his manager -- a reason to believe he could be in trouble, or if he's just faced a lot of pressure in keeping up with his own career.

We should note ... a message on NLE's Instagram story (posted by management) also encouraged fans to reach out to Angela if they see the rapper.

DJ Envy's ex-business partner Cesar Pina was arrested on fraud charges Wednesday ... but reports that federal officials raided the iHeartRadio offices and removed electronic equipment are not true ... this according to federal law enforcement sources.

Envy's lawyer Massimo D'Angelo tells TMZ Hip Hop ... the reports are yet another example of the "continued sensationalization" in the media to attach his client's name to this story ... even though he insists Envy is one of the victims, not a perpetrator, of the alleged fraud.

Law enforcement sources tell us the same, and a source iHeartMedia also confirmed to us that no equipment was removed from the building.

We're told the New Jersey Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI all had a part in investigating the case and officials were at the offices to alert Envy that Pina had been arrested.

Pina was charged with one count of wire fraud ... and pleaded not guilty before being released on a $1 million bond.

He's not allowed to leave the state and is restricted to electronic monitoring.

Britney Spears and Wade Robson had a much deeper affair than what Britney claims in her memoir, so says Britney's former songwriting partner ... who tells us Justin Timberlake found a long breakup letter Britney wrote to Wade which blew the whole thing up.

Annet Artani -- who helped write "Everytime" with Britney in 2003 -- appeared on TMZ Live Friday ... and she dropped a bombshell.

While we know Britney confesses to cheating on JT in her "Woman in Me" memoir, saying she and Robson made out at a bar while she was still dating Justin ... Artani remembers things much differently.

The songwriter says things were much more serious with Britney and Wade than just a one-night makeout sesh. In fact, she claims Britney had written a 14-page breakup letter to Robson which she hid in her makeup bag.

As Annet says ... you don't write a lengthy letter to someone you only kissed.

Shockingly, Artani claims, Justin ended up finding the breakup letter before Britney could give it to Wade ... and Justin learned all about their affair, calling it quits with Britney a short time later.

Britney Spears y Wade Robson tuvieron un romance mucho más profundo de lo que Britney afirma en sus memorias, según dice su ex compositora, quien asegura que Justin Timberlake encontró una larga carta de ruptura de Britney a Wade que incendió las cosas.

Annet Artani, quien ayudó a escribir "Everytime" con Britney en 2003, apareció en TMZ Live este viernes y reveló la primicia.

Aunque sabemos que Britney confiesa haber engañado a Justin en sus memorias "Woman in Me", en donde cuenta que ella y Robson se besaron en un bar mientras todavía salía con Justin, Artani recuerda las cosas de manera muy diferente.

La compositora dice que las cosas fueron más serias que solo un par de besos. De hecho, dice que Britney habría escrito una carta de ruptura de 14 páginas a Robson que escondió en su bolso de maquillaje.

Como dice Annet, nadie escribe una larga carta a alguien que solo ha besado.

Sorprendentemente, Artani afirma que Justin terminó encontrando la carta antes de que Britney se la entregara a Wade. Se enteró de todo el romance y puso fin a su relación con ella poco tiempo después.

Want to dress like "Tayvis" for Halloween? You're in luck ... 'cause Travis Kelce himself just doled out tips on how to make the costume authentic!!

The topic got brought up at Kelce's media availability on Friday ... when a reporter made the Chiefs star aware that plenty of people across the U.S. are planning to dress as him and his new girlfriend, Taylor Swift, for the October holiday.

Kelce said his side of the getup must include a couple things in order to look just right.

"The mustache is slowly starting to disappear but I tell you what man, that 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic for a little bit," Kelce said, "and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

"So I guess my 'stache and then maybe ... maybe a bracelet or something, I don't know."

Kelce -- who signed a $57.25 million extension in June -- also spoke with media members about his surprise return to "Saturday Night Live" last week in New York City ... and he explained his funny part in the Swift skit wasn't actually his idea.

"They asked me if I kinda wanted to end the skit that was about me and Taylor's takeover of the NFL games which was hilarious," he said.

"I loved every bit of it."

We're sure he's also loving how the Chiefs are currently on a five-game winning streak ... and are the favorites to make it six in a row against the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

¿Quieres vestirte como "Tayvis" para Halloween? Estás de suerte porque el mismo Travis Kelce acaba de compartir algunos consejos para crear un traje auténtico.

El tema salió a colación en una rueda de prensa de Kelce el viernes, cuando un reportero le dijo a la estrella de los Chiefs que un montón de gente en EE.UU. está planeando vestirse como él y su nueva novia Taylor Swift para la fiesta de octubre.

Kelce dijo que, por su parte, el atuendo debe incluir un par de cosas para que quede bien.

"El bigote está empezando a desaparecer poco a poco, pero te digo una cosa... ese bigote y la camiseta del 87 fueron bastante icónicos durante un tiempo", dijo Kelce, "y yo lo tenía cuando conocí a Taylor por primera vez".

"Así que supongo que mi bigote y tal vez un brazalete o algo así, no lo sé".

Kelce -que firmó una extensión de 57,25 millones de dólares en junio - también habló con los representantes de los medios sobre su sorpresivo regreso a "Saturday Night Live" la semana pasada en la ciudad de Nueva York y explicó que su rol en el sketch de Swift no fue exactamente su idea.

"Me preguntaron si quería terminar el sketch sobre mí y la toma de Taylor en los juegos de la NFL, que era hilarante", dijo.

"Me encantó cada pedacito de ella".

Estamos seguros de que también está amando la racha ganadora de los Chiefs, con cinco victorias consecutivas, y muy probablemente seis este domingo, ya que son los favoritos en el partido contra los Chargers en el Arrowhead Stadium.

Quavo's time away from music last year to mourn the death of his nephew Takeoff left an incomplete collaboration on the table ... but now, he's finished it up.

Up-and-coming rapper Swxm dropped his new single "Swim" Friday which includes a vibrant feature from Quavo ... a track he recorded in Spring 2022 after Swxm sent the track over to one of their mutual friends.

Swxm and Quavo shot the video that summer in both Long Island and Atlanta ... and he and his team worked diligently with clearance attorney lawyer Bob Celestin to get the appropriate paperwork.

Tragedy struck near the day Quavo's label QC/Motown was to sign the side artist waiver agreement -- Takeoff's death on Nov. 1, 2022 -- leaving the song to dwell in purgatory.

Swxm's team tells us Quavo's team reached out just last week excited about dropping the visual, and now we've got the song. Early reactions are good, and the vibes are classic Quavo.

Directed by WillC & Richie4K, the breezy record addresses topics of floating and pushing through life's adversity ... we're told making for an easy bond between Swxm and Quavo.

Swxm lost his mom ahead of the 2020 pandemic and we're told he stays busy by pouring his all into his music.

Since losing Takeoff, Quavo has also been on a mission for the better ... he and his Rocket Foundation just stormed Washington D.C. meeting with members of Congress in an effort to thwart gun violence.

Russell Simmons has been around for all of Hip Hop's 50 years, and isn't phased by the outpouring of complaints about the current quality of rap music this year.

We caught up with the Def Jam co-founder and DJ Cassidy Thursday ... still reeling from the blowout Hip Hop concert from the recent City of Hope x Pass The Mic fundraiser celebration.

T.I., Big Daddy Kane, Redman, EPMD, and an extremely brolic LL Cool J helped lead the festivities for the night ... Russell tells us he flew all the way from Bali just a be a part of it, he couldn't miss it.

Russ also praised fellow friend and hip hop mogul Lyor Cohen for the millions he helped raise toward cancer treatments mostly impacting minorities ... $4.3 million to be exact, proving the culture can still make a difference at the end of the day.

Many artists this year ... Joe Budden, Layzie Bone, Bow Wow and Fabolous, to name a few ... have cast doubts on the future of rap and Juicy J took things even further, declaring a "state of emergency.

Justin Bieber earned the J in his first name on Thursday ... showing off his solid jumper as he drained buckets in a basketball game.

The pop superstar showed up at The Surgeon's studio in Los Angeles to ball out in the famous shoe customizer's organized hoops league ... suiting up for Team Nahmias in their matchup against SRGN.

JB had a couple highlights in the contest ... showing off his range and passing abilities as he played alongside his longtime buddy Ryan Good and fashion designer Doni Nahmias.

It wasn't enough to help his team get the win, though ... as Nahmias fell to SRGN, 109-71.

Of course, the "Stay" singer is no stranger to showing off his athleticism -- whether it's on the hardwood, soccer field or hockey rink ... the guy can hold his own.

It looks like Bieber has stayed busy in the gym ... as his technique has never looked better.

Britney Spears describes the at-home abortion she had, and turns out the whole thing was shrouded in secrecy and torturous for her.

TMZ broke the story ... the bombshell in Britney's memoir -- "The Woman in Me" -- is that Justin Timberlake got her pregnant and made it clear he did not want the baby. Although she apparently wanted the baby, after some emotional discussions, she agreed to an abortion.

She wrote, "I'm sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. I don't know if that was the right decision. If It had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn't want to be a father."

Now we learn Britney and JT made a pact that no one would know she was pregnant and chose to have an abortion ... so they decided to terminate the pregnancy at home, without a doctor and without telling their family or anyone else.

She writes, "It was important that no one find out about the pregnancy or the abortion, which meant doing everything at home."

Britney says the procedure was "excruciating." The medication caused her severe physical pain.

She writes as she lies on the bathroom floor sobbing, Justin tried comforting her with music -- strumming his guitar.

Britney Spears describió el aborto que tuvo en casa y resulta que todo el asunto estuvo envuelto en un manto de secretismo y dolor para ella.

TMZ dio la noticia, la mayor bomba de su nuevo libro de memorias "The Woman in Me" es que Justin Timberlake la dejó embarazada y dejó muy claro que no quería tener al bebé. Aunque aparentemente ella sí lo quería, después de algunas discusiones emocionales, ella accedió a realizarse un aborto.

Ella escribe: "Estoy segura de que la gente me odiará por esto, pero estuve de acuerdo en no tener el bebé. No sé si fue la decisión correcta. Si hubiera dependido solo de mí, nunca lo habría hecho. Y, sin embargo, Justin estaba tan seguro de que no quería ser padre".

Ahora nos enteramos de que Britney y Justin hicieron un pacto para que nadie supiera que ella estaba embarazada... así que decidieron interrumpir el embarazo en casa, sin médico y sin decírselo a su familia ni a nadie.

Ella escribe: "Era importante que nadie se enterara del embarazo o del aborto, lo que significaba hacerlo todo en casa".

Britney dice que el procedimiento fue "insoportable". Los medicamentos le causaron fuertes dolores físicos.

En el libro describe cómo ella estuvo yaciendo en el suelo del baño, sollozando, mientras Justin trataba de consolarla con música, rasgueando su guitarra.

Bronny James was teachin' fans how to Dougie at a USC hoops event Thursday night ... dancing his tail off during player introductions -- but he sat out all of the night's competitions, an indication he's still not quite 100 percent after suffering cardiac arrest.

LeBron's oldest son received a super warm welcome at the annual Trojan HoopLA shindig at the Galen Center in downtown Los Angeles ... and he sure seemed to love it all, gyrating to Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How To Dougie" as people in the stands roared.

However, that was about all the physical activity he did during the evening ... electing not to participate in the skills competition, dunk contest and the 3-point contest.

Of course, it's not unexpected at all ... Bronny required surgery just a few weeks ago after he had the issue with his heart back in July -- and everyone involved has been making sure he's been brought along slowly ever since.

It's unclear when he'll be able to officially start putting basketballs in hoops for the Trojans this year ... a timetable has not been given -- but LeBron said just days ago the goal is for his son to make an impact at USC soon.

Meanwhile, there were plenty more highlights from the Trojans event Thursday ... including when freshman forward Brandon Gardner threw down a massive slam over star USC quarterback Caleb Williams during the dunk contest.

Rap stars YG & Saweetie also performed!!

Britney Spears está hablando de lo que ella asegura fue un romance caliente de dos semanas con Colin Farrell hace años, el que comparó con una "pelea callejera".

La estrella del pop escribió acerca de su aventura con Colin en su nuevo libro de memorias, "The Woman In Me", que se publicará el próximo martes.

En un nuevo extracto del libro obtenido por TIME, Britney dice que conoció a Colin por primera vez a través de un promotor en el set de su película "S.W.A.T." de 2003.

Britney dice que las chispas saltaron de inmediato y las estrellas terminaron teniendo un montón de sexo apasionado, que ella describió como una "pelea de dos semanas."

Añadió que "trifulca es la única palabra para describirlo: estábamos el uno encima del otro, forcejeando tan apasionadamente que era como si estuviéramos en una pelea callejera".

Britney también dice que su revolcón con el actor nominado al Oscar se produjo después de que su entonces novio Justin Timberlake terminara con ella en 2002.

Ella admite que no había "superado a Justin" cuando apareció junto a Colin en el estreno de su película "The Recruit", de 2003. Aún se sentía vulnerable tras la ruptura con Justin, pero intentó convencerse de que "no era para tanto" y que "sólo se estaba divirtiendo" con Colin.

En el estreno, Colin le dijo a los medios que "no estaba saliendo" con Britney, pero se refirió a ella como "una chica dulce, dulce."

Ese mismo año, Britney le contó a "W Magazine" que besó a Colin y pensó que era la "cosa más tierna y sexy del mundo", pero que su relación no era "nada serio".

En sus memorias, la cantante no cuenta lo que llevó al final de su fugaz relación con Colin, pero en su lugar dice: "Por un breve momento, pensé que podía haber algo ahí. Las decepciones en mi vida sentimental eran sólo una parte de lo aislada que me sentía. Me sentía tan incómoda todo el tiempo".
