Singer Carly Waddell -- more known for her TV dating conquests -- opened for Nick Carter Thursday wearing a t-shirt with Lady Gaga sitting at a piano. Interesting, since she had a huge issue with the star doing just that during their time together at college.

In fact ... Carly said she would be driven crazy by the singer showing off her vocals on the piano when while they were in an NYU cafeteria -- a statement that caused widespread fury among Gaga's Little Monsters.

But, the musician took the backlash in stride with her choice of stage attire for the Akron, Ohio stop on Nick's "Who I Am" tour.

Remember ... just days earlier, Carly explained on fellow "Bachelor" alum Jason Tartick's podcast that she was "not a fan" of Gaga when they were students at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

She cited Gaga's main offense as her singing "Wicked" at the piano at the top of her lungs during break every single day, which forced her to eat her meals in the hallway away from the commotion.

La cantante Carly Waddell, más conocida por sus citas con estrellas de televisión, abrió para Nick Carter el jueves con una camiseta de Lady Gaga sentada en el piano. Algo bastante interesante, ya que hace pocos días tenía un gran problema con la estrella, haciendo precisamente eso que aparece en la foto durante su tiempo juntas en la universidad.

De hecho, Carly dijo que la volvía loca que la estrella pop se pusiera a cantar en el piano mientras estaban en una cafetería de NYU, una declaración que causó furia generalizada entre los Little Monsters de Gaga.

Pero la artista tomó la mala sangre en redes con calma al momento de elegir su atuendo para su presentación en Akron, Ohio en el contexto de la gira "Who I Am" de Nick.

Recuerden, hace solo unos días, Carly explicó en el podcast de su compañero de universidad, Jason Tartick que ella no era "fan" de Gaga cuando eran estudiantes en NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

Citó como principal ofensa que cantara "Wicked" al piano a pleno pulmón durante el recreo todos los días, lo que la obligaba a comer en el pasillo lejos del alboroto.

Britney Spears' mother says she in no way demolished her daughter's journals or antique dolls ... something Britney accused her family of doing in her memoir.

Lynne Spears defended herself Thursday on Instagram, shooting down Britney's claim -- showing what she says are current pics of Brit's old journals and Madame Alexander dolls. Lynne says, "I'm not sure who told you I got rid of your dolls and journals but I would never do that!"

She says she knows how important they are to her daughter, adding, "They are special to me too because of the years we spent collecting them. Of course I still have your things, and I am happy to send them to you if you'd like me to."

Britney wrote in "The Woman in Me" about storing some of her personal belongings at Lynne's place in 2019, while she was at a mental health facility -- including the dolls and journals.

La madre de Britney Spears, dice que ella nunca demolió los diarios de su hija o muñecas antiguas, esto después de las nuevas memorias de Brit afirmaron que su familia tiró todo a la basura.

Lynne Spears tomó Instagram el jueves para defenderse y derribar las afirmaciones de su hija, mostrando supuestas fotos de los viejos diarios de Britney y las muñecas Madame Alexander escribiendo: "No estoy segura de quién te dijo que me deshice de tus muñecas y diarios, ¡pero yo nunca haría eso!"

Ella dice que sabe lo importante que son para su hija, añadiendo: "Son especiales para mí también por los años que pasamos coleccionándolos. Por supuesto que todavía tengo sus cosas y estaría feliz de enviárselas si lo desea".

Para aquellos que no lo sepan, una de las cosas que Britney afirmó en sus memorias, "The Woman in Me", fue que guardó algunas de sus pertenencias personales en la casa de Lynne en 2019 cuando estaba en un centro de salud mental, incluidas las muñecas y los diarios.

Donald Trump no se olvida de uno de sus primeros partidarios, Lil Pump, quien estuvo presente en el mitin de Florida del ex comandante el miércoles por la noche, y el rapero "Gucci Gang" recibió algunos elogios públicos.

Trump lo señaló entre una multitud de unos 5.200 asistentes, quienes llegaron hasta el suburbio de Hialeah en Miami, según los informes. Tras el reconocimiento, Pump se puso de pie, recogió sus flores y mostró su orgullo de pies a cabeza!!!

Vuelvan sus calendarios tres años atrás, en 2020, cuando Pump fue extremadamente apasionado en su intento por conseguir que Trump fuera reelegido. Esto, a pesar de no ser un votante registrado.

Para Pump, la influencia es lo que cuenta en el largo plazo. Él es un fan de la persona rebelde de #45, al igual que Kodak Black y Waka Flocka.

Donald Trump doesn't forget his day 1 supporters -- Lil Pump was in attendance at the former commander-in-chief's Florida rally Wednesday night, and the "Gucci Gang" rapper got some public praise.

Trump singled him out in the crowd of 5,200 reportedly in attendance in the Miami suburb of Hialeah ... prompting Pump to stand up, collect his flowers and show off his fit ... head-to-toe MAGA!!!

Flip the calendars back 3 years to 2020 and Pump was extremely vocal in attempting to get Trump reelected ... despite not being a registered voter himself.

For Pump, it's the influence that counts in the long run. He's a fan of #45's rebellious persona -- as are Kodak Black and Waka Flocka.

Nicki Minaj is very leery of social media these days and says her heart breaks for the younger generation because their entire lives revolve around being online!!!

The "Pink Friday 2" rapper got into detail about her postpartum life after having her son a few years ago, and admits she sought out other moms through social media for parenting tips ... but, overall, she still thinks the future looks bleak for folks who live on apps.

Nicki told Vogue, "It’s gotten so easy to be alone physically, where young people spend 12, 16 hours a day in their rooms on their phones, looking at these false realities, comparing themselves."

She went on to mourn some of the younger generation's late rappers ... "I’ve seen artists gone way too soon, and I wonder if that could have been avoided if they’d just had the chance to talk about what they were going through."

Gen Z has seen the deaths of Juice Wrld, Big Scarr and Mac Miller to drug overdoses in the past few years, in addition to losing Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion and King Von to gun violence, and the effects have taken their toll on the culture as it tries to push forward.

Nicki interjected in a big social media blowup this week when she convinced Soulja Boy to stop flipping out over J. Cole ... instructing the "Crank Dat" rapper to log off and woosah!!!

A rule she's applies to her own life as well, especially when it comes to politics.

¡¡¡Nicki Minaj está muy recelosa de las redes sociales en estos días y dice que su corazón se rompe por la generación más joven, ya que toda su vida gira en torno a estar en línea!!!

La rapera de "Pink Friday 2" entró en detalles sobre su vida después de tener a su hijo hace unos años, y aunque admite que buscó a otras madres a través de las redes sociales para obtener consejos sobre cómo criar a los hijos... en general, piensa que el futuro se ve sombrío para la gente que vive en esas aplicaciones.

Nicki le dijo a Vogue: "Se ha vuelto tan fácil estar solo físicamente, los jóvenes pasan 12, 16 horas al día en sus habitaciones, en sus teléfonos, mirando todas esas falsas realidades, comparándose".

Continuó lamentándose por algunos de los últimos raperos de la generación más joven: "He visto artistas que se han ido demasiado pronto, y me pregunto si eso se podría haber evitado si hubieran tenido la oportunidad de hablar de lo que estaban viviendo".

Juice Wrld, Big Scarr y Mac Miller son algunos de los raperos de la generación Z, que han fallecido en los últimos años por sobredosis de drogas, además de Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion y King Von a causa de la violencia armada... y sus consecuencias han pesado en la cultura y sociedad, que intenta seguir adelante.

Nicki intervino en una gran trifulca en las redes sociales esta semana cuando convenció a Soulja Boy para que dejara de pelear con J. Cole, instruyendo al rapero de "Crank Dat" que se desconectara.

Una regla que ella aplica a su propia vida también, sobre todo cuando se trata de política.

T.I. says his joint album with Boosie Badazz is still coming ... when exactly though, is still up in the air with the moon, stars and rest of the cosmos!!!

We caught the "Rubber Band Man" rapper poppin' tags out on Rodeo Dr. ahead of his southern hip hop Grammy tribute performance alongside Boosie, and we had to get an update on their album.

Just like Boosie told us when he spoke to him this week, Tip promised nothing short of fireworks with his Grammy set, which also costarred Jeezy, but admitted he and Boosie's schedules have been too jampacked to pick up the collab where they left off.

The two rap heavyweights were on the verge of dropping the project at the top of 2023 ... but Boosie got the false impression T.I. was a snitch and went on an interview campaign about it.

After Tip and Boosie patched things up, Young Thug even used his limited social media privileges over the summer -- amid his own incarceration -- to plea for the album to drop, but still nada nearly 6 months later.

They're not capping about their busy schedules ... Boosie told us he's actively working on a new track with Sexyy Redd and an album with Daz Dillinger, in addition to a movie.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince reunited on stage for the first time in years last night in L.A. for the Grammys ... a full-circle moment for the legendary pair!!!

The dynamic duo performed a rendition of hits -- "Brand New Funk," "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It," and "Summertime" -- inside YouTube Theater in Inglewood as part of the Questlove-co-produced "Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop" special.

Will was reportedly taping "Bad Boys 4" when Quest tried to get him for the Grammys' celebration of hip hop's milestone birthday during the award show back in February -- but his hometown brethren pulled through this time around!!!

The Fresh Prince was decked out in a Phillies jumpsuit and allowed his world-famous DJ to showcase his skills on the wheels of steel -- much to all the rappers' delight in the audience.

Flavor Flav couldn't contain his excitement and surprised Will on stage with a bear hug as he was finishing up his "Summertime" performance ... and was soon followed by DJ D-Nice, Chance The Rapper and tons of other giants of hip hop!!!

Will and Jazzy Jeff won the first Grammy presented for Best Rap Performance with 1988's "Parents Don't Understand," and were also the first hip hop act to perform at the awards.

The special is set to air on Paramount+ in December and also features Queen Latifah, E-40, Rakim, Latto, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Quik, Too Short, Remy Ma, YG, GloRilla, Gunna and many more.

There's a Hollywood connection to a deeply disturbing crime ... the son of a powerful former Hollywood agent has been booked for murder after a woman's dismembered torso was found in a bag.

LAPD arrested 35-year-old Samuel Haskell Wednesday following the grisly discovery -- the bag containing the female victim's body was in a dumpster in Encino, CA. Haskell's wife, Mei Haskell, and her parents are currently missing. The coroner hasn't identified the victim yet ... but in the meantime, Haskell's being held on $2 million bail.

Haskell's father, Sam Haskell Sr., is currently the President of Magnolia Hill Productions -- the company behind several Dolly Parton specials -- including "Dolly Parton's Magic Mountain Christmas" and "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors."

Haskell Sr. was once a powerful agent at William Morris Agency ... he retired as an agent in 2005, but during his 27-year-career represented the likes of Dolly, Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Romano, George Clooney, Martin Short, Kirstie Alley, Tony Danza, Debbie Allen, Kathie Lee Gifford ... and even King Charles' younger brother, Prince Edward.

As for the criminal investigation into Haskell's son, investigators are currently searching through Junior's Tarzana home where he lived with his wife and her parents Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshen Li.

So far, police say they've found evidence of a crime with blood in the home.

The dismembered torso was reportedly found Wednesday by a homeless person who was sifting through a strip mall dumpster. Haskell Jr. and Mei have 3 kids who are safe in the custody of L.A.'s DCFS.

El hijo de un poderoso ex agente de Hollywood ha sido fichado por asesinato luego de  que un torso desmembrado de una mujer fue encontrado en una bolsa.

La policía de Los Ángeles detuvo el miércoles a Samuel Haskell, de 35 años, tras el espeluznante descubrimiento. La bolsa que contenía el cuerpo de la víctima estaba en un contenedor de basura en Encino, California. La esposa de Haskell, Mei Haskell, y sus padres se encuentran en paradero desconocido. El forense no ha identificado a la víctima todavía, pero mientras tanto, Haskell está detenido bajo fianza de 2 millones de dólares.

El padre de Haskell, Sam Haskell Sr., es actualmente el Presidente de Magnolia Hill Productions  —la compañía detrás de varios especiales de Dolly Parton— incluyendo "Dolly Parton's Magic Mountain Christmas" y "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors".

Haskell Sr. fue una vez un poderoso agente de William Morris Agency, se retiró como agente en 2005, pero durante sus 27 años de carrera representó a gente como Dolly, Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Romano, George Clooney, Martin Short, Kirstie Alley, Tony Danza, Debbie Allen, Kathie Lee Gifford, e incluso el hermano menor del rey Carlos, el príncipe Eduardo.

En cuanto a la investigación criminal sobre el hijo de Haskell, los investigadores están buscando actualmente a través de la casa de Tarzana de Junior, donde vivía con su esposa y sus padres Yanxiang Wang y Gaoshen Li.

Hasta ahora, la policía dice que han encontrado evidencia de un crimen con sangre en la casa.

Según los informes, el torso desmembrado fue encontrado el miércoles por una persona sin hogar que estaba hurgando en un contenedor de basura de un centro comercial. Haskell Jr. y Mei tienen 3 hijos que están a salvo bajo la custodia del DCFS de Los Ángeles.

Shawn Mendes & his potential new boo enjoyed a day at the beach ... strippin' down to their undies for some fun in the sun after she had his arm around him at a WeHo eatery.

The singer and TV personality Charlie Travers hit up Point Dume and El Matador Beach Wednesday out in sunny SoCal -- and it appears their trip to the ocean might've been an unplanned one, seeing as they have no bathing suits on hand.

No worries, 'cause Charlie took off her top and pants, while Shawn got down to his boxer briefs to enjoy the day -- and we're assuming Shawn's strip down helped any ladies nearby enjoy their day, too.

TMZ broke the story, Charlie had her arm around Shawn at a restaurant in West Hollywood on Tuesday ... witnesses told us the pair was pretty touchy-feely, too.

Unclear if her arm around him was a sign to ward off the ladies, or something more mild ... but there's obviously something going on here.

Of course, this potential romance comes after Shawn's relationship with Camila Cabello, which first ended in November 2021.

Shawn Mendes y su probablemente nueva novia disfrutaron de un día de playa, sacándose la ropa hasta quedar en ropa interior para divertirse bajo el sol después de que ella lo tuviera abrazado en un restaurante en West Hollywood.

El cantante y la celebridad televisiva Charlie Travers fueron hasta Point Dume y El Matador Beach para pasar un soleado miércoles en el sur de California, y parece que su viaje al océano puede haber sido improvisado, ya que no tenían sus trajes de baño a la mano.

No se preocupen porque Charlie se quitó la camiseta y los pantalones, mientras que Shawn quedó en calzoncillos para disfrutar el día. Estamos asumiendo, además, que la performance de Shawn ayudó a que las otras damas en la playa disfrutaran también.

TMZ publicó la historia, Charlie tenía su brazo alrededor de Shawn en un restaurante en West Hollywood este martes, y testigos nos dijeron que la pareja estaba bastante cariñosa.

No está claro si el brazo alrededor de él era una señal para alejar a las otras mujeres, o algo más relajado, pero obviamente algo está pasando aquí.

Por supuesto, este potencial romance viene después de que la relación entre Shawn y Camila Cabello terminara por primera vez en noviembre de 2021, y luego a principios de este año, después de una breve reconciliación.

Priscilla Presley was very nearly a Kardashian ... had her unwavering loyalty to her ex, Elvis Presley -- and lack of cooking skills -- not been an issue for Robert Kardashian.

In light of the new movie based on her romance with the King of Rock & Roll, Priscilla has been doing lots of promo lately ... revealing in a Q&A that she had "never wanted to marry again" after Elvis because no one would match up to him.

And no one had better first-hand knowledge of her devotion to the icon post-split than Robert ... who was head over heels for her when they first met and thought they would marry and have babies together.

However, in the 2017 unauthorized biography, "The Kardashians: An American Drama," the author says Rob frequently felt like a third wheel, because Elvis repeatedly interrupted their romance in bizarre and controlling ways.

In the book, a close pal recalled Robert complaining Elvis called while he was making love to Priscilla ... who then propped the bedside receiver on the pillow between them, forcing Rob to listen to their convo. Awwwkward.

According to the biography, Elvis just didn't want his ex to see other men ... for the sake of their daughter Lisa Marie.

Another blow for Robert was that romancing Priscilla came at the expense of family affairs as his older brother Tom was also interested in her ... and when she chose Rob, his bro grew envious.

But, Rob's bud Joni Migdal said the final straw for their relationship was when Priscilla cooked a meal for Robert, which he hated so much ... he suggested she never make dinner for him again!

His desire to forge a life with Priscilla dissipated soon after, and as we all know, Rob went on to marry Kris Jenner and have their 4 kids ... Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob. Rob and Kris were married from 1978 to 1991.

King Kong no tiene nada que envidiarle a Jared Leto, mucho menos después de que escalara hasta la cima del Empire State Building solo para promocionar la nueva gira de su banda 30 Seconds to Mars.

El cantante y actor se encumbró por encima de los cielos de Nueva York el jueves por la mañana, diciendo a los anfitriones de "TODAY" que llegó a la cima del icónico rascacielos, algo que siempre había tenido como objetivo.

Dice que en su camino hacia la cumbre se detuvo alrededor de la planta 80 y vio a su madre en el interior, lo que fue una agradable sorpresa, pero cuando llegó a la cima del edificio, en el piso 102, dijo que las vistas eran increíbles, especialmente cuando el sol empezó a salir.

La hazaña no se hizo sin un poco de derramamiento de sangre, con los anfitriones Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie, Carson Daly, Craig Melvin y Sheinelle Jones mostrando sus golpes y raspaduras, pero parece que valió la pena.

La gran escalada de Jared no es solo uno de sus objetivos en la lista de cosas por hacer antes de morir, también es parte de su campaña de promoción de la gira mundial de su banda, 30 Seconds to Mars, que comienza en marzo.

Hay que admitir que es una manera bastante única de vender entradas.

Ahora, el chico no es ajeno a las escaladas atrevidas como esta. Jared Leto lleva escalando edificios y algunas dementes formaciones rocosas desde hace un tiempo, lo que sin duda lo preparó para llevar a cabo esta hazaña en el rascacielos.
