Jessica Simpson ain't too rattled by the buzz over her snake-sperm-quaffing confession -- insisting she’ll keep using it to prime those vocal cords from here on out.

The singer was spotted strutting into LAX Sunday, proudly declaring that chugging down on the specialty Chinese herb cocktail was a fang-tastic approach to clear her throat and make her a better vocalissst.

JS is clearly the ultimate snake semen spokesperson -- so much so, we asked if she's down to strike while the iron's hot and officially endorse it ... so catch the clip to hear exactly what she hisses next.

Event planner Andy King is disappointed in Billy McFarland -- saying he hoped prison would've knocked some sense into him after the first Fyre Fest fiasco, but clearly not ... 'cause round two is already going up in flames.

In a lengthy IG post, Andy said he was all for giving Billy a second chance -- standing by him when no one else would ... even linking up with him a year and a half ago to help him focus on empathy and paying back people from the OG festival. But clearly, it was all for nothing.

Andy added that on top of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money, his career also took a hit -- getting labeled as toxic for his ties to the infamous fraudster.

Madonna and Elton John have finally kissed and made up ... and all it took was her confronting him backstage at "Saturday Night Live."

Madonna says after years of being trashed by Elton in public, she decided she needed to talk to him in person ... and she took advantage of him being in New York City for a musical gig on 'SNL.'

She says she went backstage to confront Elton ... and all the tension died instantly when he saw her and blurted out, "Forgive me." Madonna says Elton's apology made the wall between them fall down, and they hugged.

A stray dog with moves like Jagger -- well, actually more like another massive star -- named Taylor Swift after giving Florida highway authorities the ultimate dodge has officially been adopted.

Caught on video, this pup’s getaway attempt last week was straight-up "Fearless" -- she darted, dashed, and dodged troopers like a pro ... turning the highway into her own concert stage and forcing a full shutdown just for her grand performance.

Taylor Swift was eventually caught and scooped up by the Humane Society of Broward County for some well-earned R&R, a medical check, and a quick spray.

Fyre Festival 2.0 will not go down in Playa del Carmen, Mexico next month, and the organizers say it's because they got royally screwed by the Mexican government.

TMZ has obtained text messages sent by a Fyre Fest event producer saying they've been backstabbed by Mexican officials. Not mincing words, the event producer says, "They f***ed us."

According to the event producer, the government is acting like they had no idea the festival was going down in May ... "They [the government] posted on X, Instagram etc giving their blessing and support and then yesterday they say we've never heard of them its hilarious."

Kylie Schultz -- an Ithaca College senior and rising social media star -- is throwing her hat into the ring after Chu has denied chatter that Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Millie Bobby Brown are currently auditioning ... saying she's ready to play the Princess of Pop.

Kylie tells TMZ she was born for the role -- not only because she's been studying theater, acting and song her whole life, but also 'cause she understands Brit on a deeper level -- she too is a middle child raised by a blue collar fam in a rural area.

Beyoncé giving fans the secret to getting flowing locks just like her ... pushing a new hair care product in a fabulous, low-cut outfit.

Fans go wild at the end of "Ms. Whitman" ... showing they're all for the beef.

Justin and Hailey Bieber are proving they still got that yummy yummy for each other ... heading out for a date in Los Angeles Saturday, matching outfits and all.

"Saturday Night Live" didn't miss a beat during last night's cold open ... taking aim at both Donald Trump and Morgan Wallen following the latter's headline-making appearance on last week's show.

James Austin Johnson reprised his role as Trump and mocked his tariff plan -- which placed a 10% rate on the uninhabited Australian Heard Island and McDonald Islands.

"I want to go to there," Trump said as he held up artwork showing a happy-looking cheeseburger and chicken nuggets on a sunny beach. "Get me to God’s country, right?"

The band -- which boasts nearly 300K fans on X -- shared a handwritten apology Saturday admitting they erred by posting the recent birthday clip.

ICYMI ... the four bandmembers shared a clip where they danced to the hit 2003 track -- while wearing their hats askew and big gold chains around their necks, basically parodying clothing some rappers might wear.

Billy McFarland and the Fyre Festival 2 team are sticking by the location for the event ... claiming they've been working closely with Playa Del Carmen to ensure the festival happens -- despite the government's claims to the contrary.

Here's the deal ... earlier this week, officials for Playa Del Carmen -- a small town just south of Cancún in Mexico -- wrote a message in Spanish, part of which translates to "There is no existence of a registry nor plans that would indicate such an event taking place in this municipality."

They also add, "... No such event with that name will take place in our city" -- indicating they haven't even heard of the event before.

Someone shouted from the crowd in the moment -- and LY snapped "SHUT THE F*** UP!" ... before getting help from the crowd to figure out who said it.
