Ariana Grande's supporting her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, by hitting Broadway to watch his latest role in "Spamalot" -- and that means coming face-to-face with tons of her fans for the first time in a long time.

The crowd was waitin' for the singer outside the St. James Theater Tuesday night, where Ariana was checking out Ethan's performance in the Monty Python musical -- she left the show with a pal, her Playbill and a "Spamalot" paper crown.

Obviously, word got 'round that Ari was catching the show on Halloween, because loads of folks greeted her once the musical was over, and a lot wanted to snap pics with the singer ... but it sounded like she was a bit nervous for people's safety and instead took to the car.

Ethan plays The Historian & Prince Herbert in the Broadway revival -- it officially opens later this month, so Ari and co. were on hand for the musical's first preview. Always good to be in the with the cast.

Her friend really got into the Halloween spirit, BTW ... taking in the show while dressed as Sir Galahad!

Sources close to Ariana tell TMZ ... she's been having more fun, and going out more often lately -- we're told it's clear she feels safer and more able to be herself in this new relationship.

Lil Nas X sin duda tenía un aspecto interesante para Halloween de este año, mezclando gore con la higiene femenina y optando por vestirse como un tampón sangriento.

El rapero de "Old Town Road" reveló el impactante look en Instagram el martes por la noche mientras las celebridades hacían lo mismo. El video de Nas comienza mostrando una vagina hecha de materiales caseros antes de mostrar su atrevido look.

La mayoría de sus fans vieron el disfraz con sentido el humor, con comentarios como: "Realmente dijo PERIOD" y "no te dejes llevar por la corriente".

Sin embargo, algunos se ofendieron por el atuendo, escribiendo: "Me gusta este look, pero el hecho de que tú personalmente nunca hayas experimentado el estigma, la vergüenza o el dolor que implica tener la regla me hace pararme a pensar........ Pero, ¿por qué?".

Otro dijo: "No es gracioso. En realidad es bastante misógino. Y ser gay no te da un pase".

Lil Nas X no es ajeno a empujar los límites, especialmente en las redes sociales, por lo que esto no debería sorprendernos, aunque claramente, todavía está causando una división.

Lil Nas X certainly had an interesting look for Halloween this year, mixing gore with feminine hygiene ... and opting to dress as a bloody tampon.

The "Old Town Road" rapper revealed the shocking look on Instagram Tuesday night as celebs took to the platform to show off their looks. Nas' video starts out with a homemade vagina before panning out to the rest of his look ... complete with a blonde wig and high white boots.

Most of his fans found humor in the costume, with comments like, "Really said PERIOD." and "Some would say you have a heavy flow."

However some took offense to the outfit, writing, "I enjoy this look but the fact that you personally have never experienced the stigma, shame or pain involved with having a period makes me pause and think……. But why though?"

Another said, "Not funny. Actually quite misogynistic. And being gay does not give u pass."

Lil Nas X is no stranger to pushing the PC boundaries, especially on social media, so the look shouldn't be THAT shocking ... but clearly, he's still causing a divide.

Bradley Cooper and his ex-fiancée Irina Shayk can't show a more united front than this -- rocking his and hers costumes for their Halloween night candy run ... with their daughter Lea, of course.

Despite ending their romance 4 years earlier, the actor and supermodel have always come together to co-parent, and they took that up a notch Tuesday night in Manhattan as they both dressed as Rocket Raccoon ... Bradley's "Guardians of the Galaxy" character!

However, little Lea branched out on her own from mom and dad ... making the swift decision to transform into pop star Taylor Swift from her "22" era.

Just like T-Swift did in the video for her 2012 hit, the young Swiftie wore a black fedora, red lipstick, and a white tee with the lyrics, "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew".

The family made their way through their upscale NYC neighborhood while each parent held Lea's hand as she collected goodies.

As we revealed last month, Irina is no longer dating Tom Brady ... with their brief relationship "fizzling out." The writing had been on the wall for a while as the attractive duo had been in separate cities for a while.

On the other hand, things still seem to be going well for Bradley and model Gigi Hadid ... with the pair being seen together on numerous low-key outings in the last month.

So, a romantic reconciliation doesn't seem to be in the cards for Bradley and Irina right now ... but still nice to see them happily together as a family.

Bradley Cooper y su ex-prometida Irina Shayk no pueden mostrar un frente más unido que este. Ayer, ambos estuvieron luciendo disfraces a juego para acompañar a su hija Lea en su carrera por conseguir la mayor cantidad de dulces en la noche de Halloween.

A pesar de que terminaron su romance hace 4 años, el actor y la supermodelo siempre se han unido para su rol de padres. Este martes por la noche en Manhattan, ambos se vistieron como Rocket Raccoon, el personaje de Bradley en "Guardianes de la Galaxia".

Sin embargo, la pequeña Lea decidió apartarse de mamá y papá, y prefirió transformarse en la estrella del pop Taylor Swift de su era "22".

Al igual que T-Swift en el video de su hit de 2012, la joven Swiftie llevaba un sombrero de fieltro negro, labial rojo y una camiseta blanca con la frase "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew".

La familia anduvo paseando por su lujoso barrio en Nueva York, con cada uno de los padres tomando de la mano de Lea mientras ella recogía golosinas.

Como revelamos el mes pasado, Irina ya no está saliendo con Tom Brady. Su brevísima relación "se esfumó". El destino estaba escrito en piedra desde hace algún tiempo, ya que ambos habían estado viviendo en ciudades separadas.

Por otro lado, las cosas todavía parecen ir bien para Bradley y la modelo Gigi Hadid. La pareja ha sido vista en numerosas salidas de bajo perfil en el último mes.

Heidi Klum was completely unrecognizable at her Halloween bash Tuesday night ... transforming herself into a giant blue peacock!!!

The iconic supermodel was the center of attention as she put on a dazzling show for the cameras at her 22nd Annual "Heidi Halloween" soiree at Marquee Nightclub in NYC.

For her nearly two-minute performance, Heidi squeezed into a tight blue velvet bodysuit complete with a yellow beak and feathers sprouting from her head.

Ten dancers in spooky green and blue catsuits -- some spreading their elaborate wings -- gave Heidi an assist, twice propping her up before the flashing lights of the photogs.

Heidi and Co. posed for some group shots and then went to party inside the club. Of course, Heidi's family was also there dressed in their own Halloween getups.

Her hubby, Tom Kaulitz, gave Heidi a run for her money, converting himself into a jumbo egg. Heidi didn't seem to mind, as she planted a huge kiss on his white-painted face peeking out of the fake shell.

Their teen daughter, Leni, looked stunning in a sexy strawberry-inspired outfit, while Heidi's brother-in-law, Bill Kaulitz, dressed up as a unicorn.

Plenty of celebs rolled in to show off their costumes. Notables included Rachel Zegler, Taylor Lautner, Camila Cabello, H.E.R., Ice-T and his wife, Coco, as well as Elon Musk's mother, Maye.

Questlove provided the DJ music for the night.  And everyone had an amazing time.

Another Halloween in the books and Hollywood did not hold back this year ... so, we've rounded up some of the best costumes we've seen from this season!!!

"Barbie" was a big hit at the box office and at costume parties ... celebs dressing up as the iconic doll (and movie character) include Kelsea Ballerini and YouTuber Sierra Furtado ... and we just can't get Kenough.

Drew Barrymore went old school with an ode to Bob Ross ... complete with a hairy chest, afro and a goatee. Get Drew an easel, some paint and a fresh canvas, STAT!!!

The most timely duo costume was definitely Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and we saw versions from 2 IRL couples -- Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos and Rachel Zoe and hubby Rodger Berman.

The Casamigos party was littered with celebs who went all out with their costumes. Most of 'em hit home runs, but Heidi Klum just might take the cake here.

As is her tradition ... Heidi got super creative and intricate with her Halloween costume -- a flowing pink cape, tons of makeup, facial prosthetics and a very spooky vibe. Ya gotta imagine it took hours to finish, so props to HK for pulling off another unique look.

Go easy on the candy, and we'll see ya next year for more Hollywood sights and frights!!!

¡Es otro Halloween y Hollywood no se contuvo este año! ¡Vamos a repasar los mejores disfraces de esta temporada!

"Barbie" fue un gran éxito en la taquilla y en las fiestas de disfraces. Muchas celebridades optaron por encarnar a la célebre muñeca, como Kelsea Ballerini y la YouTuber Sierra Furtado.

Drew Barrymore recordó la vieja escuela con una oda a Bob Ross, con un pecho peludo y afro incluido.

El disfraz más actual fue sin duda el de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce y pudimos ver versiones de Mark Consuelos y Kelly Rachel Zoe.

La fiesta de Casamigos estuvo plagada de celebridades como es habitual y todas acertaron de pleno con sus disfraces, pero Heidi Klum puede que se lleve el premio aquí.

Heidi se puso muy creativa e intrincada con su disfraz de Halloween. Llevaba una capa rosa, toneladas de maquillaje, prótesis faciales y un aura muy espeluznante. Imagino que tardó horas en terminarlo ¡Así que felicidades!

French Montana's flying private, but his travel plans are still coming with headaches ... because he says authorities in Colombia searched his jet for narcotics.

The rapper says he was trying to fly out of the South American country Tuesday, but he was grounded at the airport while officers combed through his plane in search of cocaine.

French posted video of his encounter with law enforcement, and you see a handful of police officers going through the plane along with a drug-sniffing dog.

He's keeping a cool head about it, for the most part, even petting the K-9 in front of officers. He's also proclaiming his innocence ... saying la policia got the wrong idea about him.

Yes, he named his label (and mixtape series) Cokeboys, but French declares there's no contraband on his ride.

Despite the hard time from Colombian police, French says he's still got love for the country ... though he adds, "you don't have to do me like this!!!"

Diddy says his version of Heath Ledger's Joker was so good last year Warner Bros. sent him a cease and desist from doing the look in the future.

If you recall, Diddy masqueraded around L.A. dressed as Batman's arch nemesis during Halloween 2022 and fooled a lot of people in the process who didn't even realize it was Diddy ... just ask Tyler, The Creator and "Power" actor Michael J. Ferguson.

Diddy told Jimmy Kimmel WB's legal team determined his full-blown makeup infringed on The Joker's copyright ... but for Halloween 2023, he's still planning on making them earn their retainer with another take on one of their properties.

Heath posthumously won an Oscar for his take on Mr J. and Diddy did him justice ... staying in character the whole night.

Lizzo hit the bullseye with her Halloween mission to honor female pioneers in entertainment, and all it took was a colorful impression of "Brazilian Bombshell" Carmen Miranda ... and a whole lot of crystals.

Celebrity designer and "Metal-and-Chain Queen," Laurel DeWitt tells TMZ Hip Hop ... it took her days and HUNDREDS of crystal embellishments to recreate one of Carmen’s iconic headdresses -- the colorful fruit arrangements the Portuguese-born actress popularized in her films throughout the 1930s, '40s and '50s.

Laurel says Lizzo's assortment of berries and florals is actually composed of beaded faux fruit and many colored sequins ... which got pretty heavy when fully assembled, but Lizzo's a showbiz pro and mastered the balancing act.

Stylist power couple Matthew and Reginald Reisman fleshed out the rest of Lizzo's homage to Carmen ... a shimmery gown and floral garnishes that capture the elegance of the Latina icon who broke through with American audiences.

Miranda appeared in dozens of films, and released even more music -- something Lizzo has been looking to mirror within her own award-winning career.

Lizzo dio en el blanco con su misión de honrar a las mujeres pioneras en el mundo del entretenimiento este Halloween, y todo lo que necesitó fue una impresión memorable de la bomba brasileña Carmen Miranda y un montón de cristales en su tocado.

Laurel DeWitt, diseñadora de celebridades y "reina del metal y la cadena", le dice a TMZ Hip Hop que le tomó días y cientos de adornos de cristal el recrear uno de los icónicos tocados de frutas que la actriz portuguesa popularizó en sus películas en los años 30, 40 y 50.

Laurel dice que el surtido de bayas y flores que Lizzo lleva como tocado se compone en realidad de frutas de imitación hechas de cuentas y muchas lentejuelas de colores, que pesan bastante al montarlas... pero Lizzo es una profesional del mundo del espectáculo y sabe cómo dominar el equilibrio.

La pareja de estilistas Matthew y Reginald Reisman dieron forma al resto del homenaje de Lizzo a Carmen, que incluyó un vestido brillante y adornos florales que capturan la elegancia del icono latino que se abrió paso entre el público estadounidense.

Miranda apareció en docenas de películas, y también lanzó música, algo que Lizzo ha estado buscando reflejar dentro de su propia y exitosa carrera.

Halloween es un día muy popular en TMZ y nuestro equipo no escatimó esfuerzos para vestirse como algunas de sus celebridades favoritas e icónicas de la cultura pop.

Este año tuvimos a Barbenheimer, Kendall Jenner con una botella 818 de Tequila posando junto a Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande y Bob Esponja (en otras palabras, su nuevo novio, Ethan Slater) y Britney Spears con su compañero de baile... un cuchillo.

Taylor Swift durante su gira "Eras" fue otro punto alto, al igual que su nuevo enamorado, la estrella de la NFL, Travis Kelce.

¿Quién puede olvidar a Rihanna, embarazada, actuando en el show intermedio del Super Bowl rodeada de sus bailarines y sus fans?

Junkrat, uno de los héroes en Overwatch fue otro personaje que se robó las miradas.

Halloween's a very popular day in the TMZ office, and staffers pulled out all the stops this year ... dressing as some of your favorite celebs and pop culture moments.

We had Barbenheimer, Kendall Jenner plugging 818 Tequila with Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande and Spongebob (aka, her new boyfriend, Ethan Slater), and Britney Spears with her concerning dance companion -- a knife.

Taylor Swift during her "Eras" tour was also another highlight ... as was her new romance with NFL star Travis Kelce.

Who can forget pregnant Rihanna performing at the Super Bowl halftime show surrounded by her backup dancers and adoring fans?

Another highlight was Junkrat, one of the heroes in Overwatch ...

Kate Upton's still got her fastball -- the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model just made her debut on TikTok this week ... recreating her viral "Dougie" dance to celebrate the occasion.

Of course, the 31-year-old lit the internet on fire 13 years ago ... when she busted out the iconic moves to the Cali Swag District hit at a basketball game.

The clip garnered millions of views and stole the hearts of horny kids all over the world ... so it's only fitting Upton reprised her role for her first post on the social media platform.

The vid starts by showing Upton search "Teach Me How To Dougie" on DuckDuckGo ... before letting loose with her moves.

"Teach me how to TikTok…? #dougie," Justin Verlander's wife said in the caption.

Safe to say she hasn't lost a step in over a decade ... duplicating the dance for her followers just like she did back in the day.

BTW -- she currently only has just over 500 people tuning in to her page ... but we assume that number is going to explode now that she's gone public with the profile.

So ... Cat Daddy next??

A$AP Rocky was more than willing to chat it up with TMZ Hip Hop during his daily workout, and although his workout is jogging at a swift pace ... he invited us to come along -- and, umm, we did our best!!! 😂

The superstar rapper ran our photog straight outta her shoes as he was jogging Monday afternoon in WeHo .... and belted out a hearty laugh when we asked him about Rihanna's desire to have a couple more kids.

Rocky and Rihanna just welcomed their 2nd child, Riot Rose, this past August and have their hands full ... juggling parenthood and their long-delayed projects!!!

Rocky tells us he's currently working on his next album, "Don't Be Dumb," in real-time and fans will be on the edge of their seats wondering if he'll respond to Drake's shots from his "For All the Dogs" album.

Champagne Papi referred to his sexy time with RiRi as "average," and made it clear he didn't envy Rocky's current situation.

He didn't have much to add to that topic, but did recommend the perfect running shoes for our photog. Watch the clip ... we should definitely take the suggestion. 😉
