The *NSYNC boys are attempting some 11th-hour press before the 'Trolls' movie hits theaters -- and one way they'll be plugging the product is with a group powwow in front of cameras.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Justin Timberlake and the other 4 boy band members are planning to attend a premiere, of sorts, later this week in L.A. ahead of the animated film's release ... which drops Friday.

We know this coming-together is happening Wednesday somewhere in Hollywood -- but the exact details are being kept under wraps for now. Our sources do say, however, that all of the fellas started making last-minute travel arrangements for this as late as Thursday.

It probably goes without saying ... this is happening at the behest of the studio, Universal, which we're told wants to try and get *NSYNC out in front of reporters and the public any way they can to promote the film ... they obviously know how popular they are as a unit.

Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, just about every major studio is doing this -- namely, getting their big stars together and attempting to get a little momentum amid some mediocre box office returns lately. Brie Larson tried it this past week ... to no avail.

We're told if the strike would've ended a month or so ago ... Universal would've planned a massive premiere with all 5 members, but instead -- they're whipping up this somewhat smaller event in hopes that it can drum up some buzz for 'Trolls Band Together.'

None of the *NSYNC guys have been able to talk about/plug the flick -- obviously JT voice acts in it, but so does Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick. They all have credits on IMDb ... so it seems their work on this goes beyond that nifty new song.

Now, if you think this public outing as a team signals of a larger reunion tour to come -- you're unfortunately wrong ... sources tell us that ain't happening in the near future. Justin's working on a new album/tour, and scheduling remains an issue. Never say never, though.

Taylor Swift es la última artista en reprender a la audiencia por tirar basura en el escenario durante un show, pero su advertencia tenía un toque dulce.

La estrella del pop estaba haciendo lo suyo el domingo por la noche en Buenos Aires, cuando dejó de cantar después de que los fans comenzaron a tirar "regalos" a ella.

Esa es la palabra que Taylor utilizó para describir los regalos no deseados, a pesar de que dejó claro que no estaba bien, de todas formas apreciaba el gesto.

Dejó en claro que lanzar objetos la asusta, explicó por qué, y luego terminó diciendo que los amaba a todos.

Ella está lejos de ser la primera artista en tener que lidiar con esto, de hecho, las cosas que se lanzan al escenario ha sido un tema recurrente durante todo el año para artistas como Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Maluma y Drake.

Por suerte para T-Swift, nada hizo contacto directo con ella, por lo que el hecho de que ella está recibiendo frente al problema muestra.

A collection of rare, psychedelic drawings by Jimi Hendrix is up for sale ... but fans are gonna need a lot more than a couple impressive guitar licks to score this treasure trove.

Ten drawings by Jimi are being sold by Momentsintime.com -- the guitarist's artwork was drawn with a color pen in the late 1960s ... and as fans know, that's exactly when Jimi's fame rose to an all-time high.

The collection has a price tag of $195k and was originally a part of the Bob & Kathy Levine Collection ... 2 people who worked with Jimi back in the day.

Bob and Kathy actually rushed over to Jimi's home and office in 1970 when the musician died to change the locks -- knowing multiple people had keys to both spots. They wanted to ensure none of his stuff got snatched.

They sent most of Jimi's possessions to his family but kept some mementos -- like these pieces of art -- for themselves. They sold this collection at some point, and it's changed hands over the years ... last hitting the market in 2008.

Una colección de raros dibujos psicodélicos de Jimi Hendrix está a la venta, pero los fans van a necesitar bastante dinero si quieren obtener alguno.

Momentsintime.com pone a la venta diez dibujos de Jimi, realizados con un bolígrafo de color a finales de la década de 1960 y, como bien saben los fans, fue precisamente entonces cuando la fama de Jimi alcanzó su punto álgido.

La colección tiene un precio de 195.000 dólares y originalmente formaba parte de la Bob & Kathy Levine Collection, dos personas que trabajaron con Jimi en su día.

Bob y Kathy se apresuraron a ir a la casa y la oficina de Jimi en 1970 (cuando el músico murió), para cambiar las cerraduras, sabiendo que varias personas tenían llaves de ambos lugares. Querían asegurarse de que no robaran nada.

Enviaron la mayoría de las posesiones de Jimi a su familia, pero se quedaron con algunos recuerdos, como estas obras de arte. Vendieron esta colección en algún momento y ha cambiado de manos a lo largo de los años. La última vez que estuvo en el mercado fue en 2008.

Bebe Rexha has waded into the never-ending debate over who's the better femcee between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B ... and from her POV, it's no contest when it comes to raw talent.

The singer sounded off -- in a very respectful way, of course -- on an IG Live she did this weekend ... where she and a pal went back and forth on the merits of the argument, and BR ended up landing mostly Nicki's camp in terms of who she prefers as the queen of rap.

Check out how she breaks this down ... Bebe seems to think Nicki's longevity and quality as been top-notch for a long time, plus she admires the fact that she writes her own rhymes.

Bebe's friend here jumps to defend Cardi in the same breath, noting she's quite talented too ... but concedes that it's well-known she doesn't always put pen to paper for her own lyrics, and might outsource that part of the job at times.

Both of them say this isn't meant to pit the two ladies against each other -- which they say happens far too often, for no reason other than to rile up one another's respective bases.

With that said ... Bebe makes it clear, she simply likes Nicki's rapping ability more -- but notes she does appreciate Cardi's personality and authenticity more than anything.

As we all know ... Nicki and Cardi have had beef in the past, and every now and then -- there seems to be jabs taken from either side online ... but more so among their fans.

Barry Manilow came out as gay a few years ago -- a decision he pinned on fans at the time ... but now, he says he just didn't think it was a big deal to announce it to the world.

The singer got into this topic yet again this weekend with Chris Wallace on his Max show ... where the former Fox News anchor asked why'd he taken so long to confirm he was a gay man, despite having been in a relationship with his manger, Garry Kief, for years.

Before answering Chris' million-dollar question -- which he actually addressed head-on back in 2017, when he officially came out -- BM explained he'd actually been married to a woman years ago ... even though he says he knew he was attracted to men from a very young age.

Now, in terms of why he came out when he did ... Barry's answer in this sit-down differs from what he first said 6 years ago -- at the time, he said he worried he'd turn off his fans.

While talking to Chris, however ... he suggests he simply didn't give a rip -- saying the idea of "coming out" in some grand, public way never even crossed his mind ... as he was content with his life. That changed, though, when he actually married Garry in 2014.

Hace algunos años Barry Manilow salió del clóset y todos supimos que es gay. Una declaración que fue intensa en su momento, pero ahora, dice que simplemente no le pareció gran cosa.

El cantante abordó este tema una vez más este fin de semana con Chris Wallace en su programa de Max, donde el ex presentador de Fox News preguntó a quemarropa, ¿por qué había tomado tanto tiempo para confirmar que era un hombre gay, a pesar de haber estado en una relación con su manager, Garry Kief, durante años?

Antes de responder a la pregunta del millón de Chris (que en realidad abordó de frente allá por 2017, cuando salió oficialmente del clóset), Barry explicó que en realidad había estado casado con una mujer hace años, aunque sabía que se sentía atraído por los hombres desde muy joven.

Ahora, en términos de por qué salió cuando lo hizo... La respuesta de Barry difiere de lo que dijo por primera vez hace seis años, en el momento, dijo que le preocupaba que iba a desilusionar sus fans.

Sin embargo, Mientras hablaba con Chris, sugiere que simplemente no le importaba diciendo que la idea de "salir" de manera pública ni siquiera pasó por su mente, ya que estaba contento con su vida, pero eso cambió cuando se casó con Garry en 2014.

A$AP Rocky está ocupado con asuntos legales en este momento, ya que lucha contra los cargos penales en los tribunales y se podría pensar que su amada Rihanna estaría a su lado en público, pero no lo es así.

La pareja se mostró frente a las cámaras dos veces esta semana, justo después de la audiencia preliminar de alto perfil de Rocky en un juzgado el miércoles. En ambas ocasiones no estaban juntos. Y para este fin de semana, ni siquiera estaban en la misma parte de la ciudad.

El jueves, RiRi fue fotografiada en el San Vicente Bungalows en West Hollywood con algunas amigas, mientras que Rocky estaba en una parte diferente en la misma ciudad, sin compañía de Rihanna pero con un grupo de amigos.

Ambos parecían bastante neutrales el jueves, pero el sábado fueron vistos saliendo de nuevo (por separado) y se veían algo más alegres.

Rocky y Rihanna estaban vestidos para impresionar, pero solo él mostró una sonrisa mientras paseaba por una calle después de lo que nos dicen que fue una sesión de estudio nocturna en WeHo. Tiene un álbum que supuestamente saldrá pronto, así que es lógico que esté trabajando.

Rihanna, por otro lado, estaba en el lado opuesto de Tinseltown Sábado y se le pudo ver en su restaurante favorito, Giorgio Baldi en Santa Mónica, el cual ella suele frecuentar.

Como hemos dicho, ella no parecía muy feliz. Lucía gafas de sol y su semblante se notaba un tanto grave. Teniendo en cuenta que los fiscales van detrás de su hombre por cargos de armas.

Como informamos, uno de los ex miembros de Rocky A$AP Mob, Relli, subió al estrado y testificó que Rocky le había disparado en 2021 luego de una pelea y presunto enfrentamiento. Relli incluso afirmó que Rocky había amenazado con matarlo antes de supuestamente apretar el gatillo.

El abogado de Rocky, Joe Tacopina, Relli a la parrilla en la cruz, pero su cliente se debe de nuevo en la corte a finales de este mes para ver si esta cosa va a ir a un juicio con jurado en toda regla o no. AR abandonó el edificio de muy buen humor y emanaba confianza mientras firmaba autógrafos.

No se puede decir lo mismo del comportamiento de Rihanna aquí, sin embargo ... se ve un poco triste.

A$AP Rocky is in hot legal water right now as he fights criminal charges in court -- and you'd think his baby mama, Rihanna, would be right by his side in public ... but she isn't.

The couple stepped out in front of cameras twice this week -- right on the heels of Rocky's high-profile preliminary hearing in a DTLA courthouse Wednesday -- and on both occasions ... they were not together. And for this weekend, they weren't even in the same part of town.

On Thursday, RiRi was photographed hitting up the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood with some gal pals in tow, whereas Rocky was in a different part of WeHo ... unaccompanied by Rihanna, and instead being trailed by his own crew of fellas.

Both of them looked fairly neutral on Thursday ... but come Saturday, they were seen stepping out again (separately) and seemed a little more chipper -- well, AR was anyway.

Rocky and Rihanna were both dressed to impress, but it was only him who flashed a grin as he strolled along a street following what we're told was a late-night studio sesh in WeHo. He's got an album that's supposedly due out soon, so it makes sense he's working.

Rihanna, on the other hand, was on the opposite side of Tinseltown Saturday ... hitting up her favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica -- which she always frequents.

Like we said, she didn't look all that happy ... sporting sunglasses and a somewhat serious mug. Considering prosecutors are going after her man on gun charges, that also lines up.

As we reported ... one of Rocky's former A$AP Mob members, Relli, took the stand and testified that Rocky had shot him in 2021 -- this after a falling out and alleged face-off. Relli even claimed that Rocky had threatened to kill him before allegedly pulling the trigger.

Rocky's attorney, Joe Tacopina, grilled Relli on cross ... but his client is due back in court later this month to see if this thing's gonna go to a full-blown jury trial or not. AR left the building in a very good mood and emanated confidence as he signed autographs.

The same can't be said for Rihanna's demeanor here, though ... she looks kinda glum.

12:17 PM PT -- And just like that ... Travis Kelce is outta here.

The Chiefs tight end boarded a private jet Sunday to fly out of Argentina and presumably head back to the States. His team doesn't have a game until the 20th, but he's probably expected at practice and team meetings in the coming days.

No sign of Taylor here to send him off ... but ya gotta imagine they had a great night together after a huge PDA moment the day prior. Dude's got a pep in his step, for sure.

Don't cry for Taylor Swift in Argentina ... she had an amazing show Saturday night, after which she passionately made out with her man.

We've seen Travis Kelce and Taylor hold hands, wrap their arms around each other, etc, but this is the first big PDA moment. She races to Travis as she leaves the stage and they embrace and make out in a "get-a-room" type way!

As for why there seemed to be electric passion between the 2 ... well, Taylor changed the lyrics to "Karma" ... the OG version -- "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me." The updated version -- "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me."

Travis is stoked when he hears the lyrics ... you see it in his face and he begins vibing to the song.

Taylor doesn't need it, but Travis sorta served as her hype man during the show ... getting the frenzied crowd into an even more intense frenzy.

BTW ... Taylor's dad was at the show and gave his stamp of approval to the relationship by wearing a Chiefs' lanyard. It's a big deal 'cause he's an Eagles fan.

This is the first show Travis has attended since their relationship went public, although we knew for weeks before it was the real deal.

T&T have been making the rounds in Argentina the last few days ... they were holding hands Friday during a romantic dinner at the swanky Four Seasons in Buenos Aires.

Travis doesn't have a game this weekend so he was clear to fly to his girl. Long-distance relationships are tough, but private jets and other perks make it a lot easier for sure, so good luck you two!

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

12:17 PM PT -- Y así como así... Travis Kelce se va.

El ala cerrada de los Chiefs abordó un jet privado el domingo para volar fuera de Argentina y presumiblemente regresar a los Estados Unidos. Su equipo no tiene partido hasta el día 20, pero es probable que se le espere en los entrenamientos y reuniones del equipo en los próximos días.

No hay señales de Taylor para despedirlo, pero imaginamos que tuvieron una gran noche juntos después de un gran momento amoroso en público el día anterior.

No lloren por Taylor Swift en Argentina... tuvo un show increíble el sábado por la noche tras el cual se besó apasionadamente con su hombre.

Hemos visto a Travis Kelce y a Taylor tomados de la mano, abrazados y riendo; pero esta es la primera vez que vemos tanta pasión. ¡Ella corre hacia Travis mientras sale del escenario y se abrazan y se besan de una manera candente!

En cuanto a por qué había tanta pasión... bueno, Taylor cambió la letra de "Karma" cuya letra originalmente dice: "Karma es el tipo en la pantalla viniendo directamente a casa". La versión actualizada dice: "Karma es el chico de los chiefs viniendo hacia mí".

Travis se sorprende cuando escucha la letra, (se ve en su cara) y comienza a vibrar con a la canción.

Taylor no lo necesita, pero Travis hizo que el público se volviera aún más loco.

A propósito, el padre de Taylor estaba en el show y le dio su aprobación a la pareja usando un cordón de los Chiefs. Es un gran gesto porque él es fan de los Eagles.

Este es el primer concierto de Taylor desde que su relación se hizo pública, aunque ya sabíamos desde semanas antes que se trataba de algo real.

La pareja ha estado paseando por Argentina los últimos días. Se les vio tomados de la mano el viernes durante una cena romántica en el elegante Four Seasons en Buenos Aires.

Kim Kardashian es una mujer muy ocupada, pero se hizo el tiempo el sábado por la noche para un buen trabajo de caridad.

Kim y un montón de otras celebridades se presentaron en la gala Baby2Baby en Los Ángeles, una organización benéfica que proporciona ropa de bebé y pañales para niños desfavorecidos.

La lista de invitados era una locura: Hailey Bieber, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum, Julie Bowen, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, Sofia Richie, la esposa de Steph Curry, Ayesha, Alessandra Ambrosio, Molly Sims, Camila Alves, Jonathan Scott, Zooey Deschanel, Drew Scott, Jenna Dewan, Sarah Hyland, Zoe Saldaña, Vanessa Bryant, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Colton Underwood, Lucy Hale... ¿Suficiente?

Kim Kardashian is a busy woman these days, but she made time Saturday night for some good charity work.

Kim and tons of other celebs showed up at the Baby2Baby Gala in L.A. ... it's a charity that provides baby clothes and diapers for underprivileged kids.

The guest list was insane ... Hailey Bieber, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum, Julie Bowen, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, Sofia Richie, Steph Curry's wife Ayesha, Alessandra Ambrosio, Molly Sims, Camila Alves, Jonathan Scott, Zooey Deschanel, Drew Scott, Jenna Dewan, Sarah Hyland, Zoe Saldaña, Vanessa Bryant, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Colton Underwood, Lucy Hale ... is that enough?

Woman-to-woman, Xscape's LaTocha Scott thinks Bre Tiesi should've spared the world her Michael B. Jordan secret ... although she understands why she did it.

We caught the R&B vet in NYC this week and her stance on Bre's spill was quite clear ... today's social media-driven society has made it cool to let it all out on the internet but she personally lets private matters be just that!

Bre made the bombshell reveal on the Season 7 opener of Netflix's "Selling Sunset" -- even drawing a response from Nick Cannon, the father of her son, who was totally unbothered by the news.

As Nick put it, everyone's got a past!

Time brings change to situations -- be they romantic or professional -- but, one thing LaTocha tells us is still intact is her place in Xscape.

Behind this mashed-up pic is a St. Louis native who recently celebrated her birthday. She's got a big heart, and she's here to show you just "What Lovers Do!" Put your celeb knowledge to the test, and see if you can guess this scrambled star!

This sizzlin' celeb is hitting the stage for this weekend's Camp Flog Gnaw music festival. Yes, she owned the stage earlier this year on "Saturday Night Live," but she's also written music for music hotshots like Rihanna and Beyoncé.

"I might kill my ex, not the best idea."

Detrás de esta foto se encuentra una nativa de St. Louis que recientemente celebró su cumpleaños, tiene un gran corazón y está aquí para mostrarte "¡lo que hacen los enamorados!". ¡A ver si adivinas quién es!

Este fin de semana, esta celebridad se subirá al escenario del festival de música Camp Flog Gnaw. Fue la dueña del escenario a principios de este año en "Saturday Night Live", pero también ha escrito música para estrellas como Rihanna y Beyoncé.

"Podría matar a mi ex, pero no es la mejor idea".
