Kendrick Lamar and SZA have finally unveiled their chart-topping "Luther" music video ... with the help of one of Drake's most successful video collaborators!!!

The romantic duet, which has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 7 weeks, follows both Kendrick and SZA around a modern high-rise building.

The song highlights the Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn sample used to create the record, but the video is directed by Karena Evans -- whose name most definitely rings bells in Drake's OVO camp. 👀

Bhad Bhabie served up an alarming admission on Ari Fletcher's "Dinner With The Don" podcast ... revealing her mother’s ex-boyfriend allegedly molested her from the ages of 3 to 6.

According to the rapper-turned-OnlyFans star, the early abuse sparked off a pattern that followed her as her infamy grew into the spotlight.

She also said another person allegedly molested her when she was a minor ... Ari described him as that "big guy that used to be with you" in between voice bleeps, which BB confirmed.

Coachella is already proving to be a disorganized and chaotic mess for attendees ... an experience at least one festivalgoer is calling "literal hell."

The gates to the Coachella campground opened at 9 AM Thursday ... a change from past iterations of the event, several regulars at the famous festival in Indio, California told Business Insider.

Hailey Maxwell -- who is hitting Coachella for her fifth time this weekend -- told BI usually the gates are open much earlier ... and, the lateness of opening has led to a much longer entry line.

Mick Jagger's found his rainbow, and he's looking to lock her down for the rest of his life ... because he and his longtime partner Melanie Hamrick are engaged -- and have been for some time.

Hamrick let the news slip during an interview with Paris Match, published Wednesday ... revealing the Rolling Stones lead singer actually asked her to marry him "two or three years" ago.

For anyone thinking Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood should start practicing Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," don't be fooled ... Mick and Melanie aren't rushing into marriage -- 'cause Hamrick says she's too afraid to change their current routine.

A security guard tried to give a heads up to the band playing onstage right before the roof collapsed at the Dominican Republic nightclub that killed 221 people.

In the clip, the guard gestures at band members behind Pérez, then he shines a flashlight at them and says something. After that, the guard points the flashlight at the roof just before it collapses.

Weezer bass player Scott Shriner's wife is getting lots of attention for being shot by LAPD officers and getting booked for attempted murder ... but before she got famous for being shot by cops, she shot an episode for Zak Bagans' TV show.

Production sources tell TMZ ... Jillian Lauren Shriner filmed an episode of "Ghost Adventures" back in November at Zak's Haunted Museum in Las Vegas.

We're told the episode was all about serial killer Samuel Little ... Jillian's an expert on the guy because she once wrote a book about him.

Alicia Keys is still coming in strong with the love -- even while clapping back at the folks doubting her recent claim she's never argued with her hubby Swizz Beatz.

We caught up with Alicia outside NYC's Empire State Building, and she's making it clear she has no idea why there's so much hate over her having zero domestic disputes in 15 years of marriage.

You've gotta catch the clip -- 'cause Alicia lets us know just how tight she and Swizz are, so their no domestic dispute deal's clearly working a treat for them.

Weezer bassist Scott Shriner isn't offering much in the way of details about the incident involving his wife getting shot by the cops this week ... other than to cheerfully say she's "all right."

Our photog caught up with Scott as he walked his four dogs in their L.A. neighborhood Thursday, two days after his wife, Jillian Lauren Shriner, was injured in a police shooting and later booked for attempted murder -- for allegedly pointing a gun at cops and pulling the trigger.

Asked how Jillian is doing, Scott said ... "She's all right. Thank you for asking." Is he upset by the way the police handled the situation? "I can't comment on that."

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with DJ Paul at LAX this week, and the desert excursion will be a first for him -- he was unaware he'd be playing for both weekends at first -- but it'll be double the fun ... and double the payday!!!

The Memphis-born hip hop legend reveals to us that they'll have several special collaborators pop up during their set, including Travis Barker -- who will also be paired with a mystery guest who has a logical connection with the legendary drummer.

It could be Trav's red-hot rookie rapper daughter Alabama ... could be his longtime punk-pal Yelawolf ... we'll just have to wait for the Three 6 Mafia Coachella set on Friday!!!

Toni Braxton and Birdman are married, and have been for 8 months ... though it seems the honeymoon period was pretty damn rough.

According to documents, obtained by TMZ ... Toni and Birdman quietly -- and very secretly, obviously -- tied the knot on August 8, 2024.

Now, here comes the shocker ... we know that's when they got married, because the wedding date is mentioned in the divorce docs Toni filed 2 weeks later!!!

At last, Coachella is upon us and celebs 'n friends are en route to the desert! These hot Hollywood besties are 'bout to turn up, bop around, and lucky for you ... we've got the BEST, best friend pics in town!

3 PM PT -- Los Angeles Police Dept. Spokesperson Jennifer Forkish tells TMZ ... "Our investigation revealed evidence such as a shell casing and video footage showing she repeatedly ignored police commands to disarm and that she fired her weapon at LAPD officers. She was subsequently booked for attempted murder of a peace officer."

We're learning more about the police-shooting incident involving Jillian Lauren Shriner, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, in L.A. this week ... and she's been released on $1 million bond after allegedly firing a single shot and being booked for attempted murder.

TMZ also obtained police-scanner audio, which provides new insight into Tuesday's crazy shootout between Jillian and the LAPD.

As you can hear, officers on the ground and helicopters flying overhead coordinate a response to search for a male suspect ... who apparently stripped down to his boxers and dove into a pool in an attempt to throw off the chase.

Jillian was shot by police when she emerged from her house with a gun in her hand as the male suspect prowled her next-door neighbor's backyard, where the pool was located.

Justin Bieber's got jokes for Stevie Wonder ... he says he likes to do video calls with Stevie, but Stevie never sees him!!!

Justin just shared a screenshot of a FaceTime chat with Stevie ... he posted it on his Instagram with the caption, "This fool never sees my facetimessss."

The Biebs is mugging hard for the camera, but as he points out ... Stevie will never see it. Newsflash -- the legendary musician is blind after all.

Weezer bass player Scott Shriner is going to play Coachella with his bandmates ... just a few days after his wife was shot by cops in Los Angeles and booked for attempted murder.

Our sources tell us Weezer will be at full strength Saturday when they take the stage at Coachella ... with Scott committing to play despite some pretty extraordinary circumstances back home.

TMZ broke the story ... Scott's wife, Jillian Lauren Shriner, was shot by LAPD during a wild police chase Tuesday in their Eagle Rock neighborhood in L.A.

It seems everyone wants to roll with the winners -- 'cause the UConn Huskies were spotted hanging out with none other than Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz after their national championship victory!!

Stars like Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and Kaitlyn Chen commemorated the massive accomplishment in the best way they knew how -- a dinner at world-renowned Asian fusion restaurant Sei Less in Manhattan ... but the party got even more hype with Alicia and Swizz!!

The musical power couple rented out the whole joint to celebrate one year of Alicia's Broadway show, "Hell’s Kitchen" ... and from the looks of it, the UConn girls were more than happy to join in on the fun.
