Beyoncé hit the stage at LA's SoFi Stadium Monday night -- belting out a slew of her biggest hits and giving a double surprise to her screaming fans.

The iconic singer performed a three-hour set before a live audience, playing a total of 36 of her hits, including "Ameriican Reqiuem," “Formation,” “Cuff It” and “Crazy in Love,” as well as songs from her 2024 country album, "Cowboy Carter," which is also the name of her tour.

At one point, Beyonce brought out her kiddos, Rumi and Blue Ivy, to help her crank out "Protector" -- and everyone went wild.

Dua Lipa's latest outfit will get her fans feeling like they're "Levitating" ... 'cause she looked like she was floating while walking around New York City in a tight dress.

The singer-songwriter was out in the Big Apple Monday night for the 50th Chaplin Award Gala ... wearing an all-black, slightly see-through ensemble that clung to her frame.

Dua's skin seemed to show through the outfit ... shining through the sheer material at her chest and hips.

Terrence Howard didn't want to get it on as Marvin Gaye on the big screen ... passing on a starring role in a biopic because Marvin was gay.

The actor revealed his very specific reason for rejecting a Marvin Gaye project when he was a guest on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast.

Terrence says the movie called for him to kiss another man ... and he balked.

NBC's documentary about Menudo and the group's ties to Jose Menendez is doing serious damage to the Menudo brand, and now their promoter wants the network to fork over at least half a billion dollars!

Darrin McGillis is suing over "Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed" -- which has been streaming on Peacock since 2023 -- and he's particularly upset about what he calls "scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of 'sexual,' 'molestation,' 'gay,' and ultimately 'homosexual' behaviors of past members of the Menudo group."

The documentary features former member Roy Rosselló Diaz alleging Jose -- father of Erik and Lyle Menendez -- molested him back in the '80s. However, in his lawsuit, McGillis tries to discredit Roy ... claiming he became a heavy drug user after leaving the group, and was bitter about several homosexual relationships he'd had with older men.

Beyoncé’s not used to missing a step -- but with "Cowboy Carter" tour tickets struggling to sell, fans are saddling up with jokes ... and she’s stuck taking the heat.

With her tour kicking off tonight at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium, there are still more than 3,800 tickets up for grabs -- and resale prices have dropped to $20. Pretty wild, considering it’s Queen Bey we’re talking about ... and she literally just snagged an Album of the Year Grammy for "Cowboy Carter"!

Bey seemed a little oblivious over the ticket sales ... dropping an IG teaser Sunday showing off the venue with the caption, "SHE COMING" -- but someone might wanna give her a heads-up that "NO ONE COMING."

1:37 PM PT -- A source familiar with the situation tells TMZ ... Green Day was running 15 minutes behind due to the fireworks debacle during Green Day's set. In turn, this caused Travis Scott's set to begin 5 minutes late. He had been at the festival for hours before going on.

Travis Scott's carefully curated Cactus Jack-themed Coachella didn't come without a price ... the hip hop headliner cost the festival's organizer $20,000 for squeezing out a few extra minutes!!!

A rep for the city of Indio tells TMZ Hip Hop that Goldenvoice will be charged $20,000 for one night of missing the curfew timeline, on Saturday, April 12, when Travis was on center stage.

It was the only fine issued for Goldenvoice across both Coachella weekends and Stagecoach festival, which went down on April 25 - 27.

Potential jurors in Diddy's federal trial are gonna get grilled on several subjects before they get picked ... and a questionnaire's hot topics include their taste in music, and their views on drugs, celebs and group sex.

With jury selection just a week away for Diddy's trial, his attorneys are submitting the 30 questions they want to put to the jury pool. Not shockingly, considering the charges, sex is raised several times.

For instance, "There may be evidence in this case about people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners. Would hearing about that type of evidence be difficult for you?"

Part of Diddy's defense involves his mental capacity to commit the crimes while he was, essentially, wasted -- he even has a doctor lined up to testify -- but the feds think it's a totally irrelevant point.

Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and in the docs they say Diddy wants to have the doctor -- who's a Columbia professor -- testify he had a "mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt."

So, what does that mean exactly?

Well, the detail of his alleged condition is redacted throughout the documents ... but, there are some clues, including a bit about Diddy's alleged drinking and drugging.

Rapper Yung L.A. of "Ain't I" fame passed out while performing over the weekend -- and the only thing more scary was the fall he took afterward!!!

The weathered Atlanta rapper was live at the Elite Lounge in Greenwood, SC and appeared to be bursting with energy as the opening chords of his hit song "Futuristic Love" began to blare through the club. Yung L.A. then tried to pass the microphone to a woman standing onstage ... but he quickly nosedived to the floor, landing flat on his face.

Two men attempted to hold Yung L.A. before his body went limp and he sank to the floor. It didn't appear to be too serious ... both guys were cracking up laughing!!!

Cowboy hats? Check. Shades on point? Check. Festivities in full swing? You bet. And of course, celebs like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were out in full force, soaking it all in.

We’ve got a whole gallery for you from Day 3 of the annual country music fest, where Luke Wilson, Garth Brooks, and DJ Pee .Wee -- AKA Anderson .Paak -- were out and about too, at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California ... where the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is also held.

The piece of music memorabilia sparked a bidding war on the site ... with five people making a total of 11 bids before a winner was ultimately crowned.

Sanders looks like the life of the party at the event ... drawing a ton of eyes with his big smile -- and even thrilling members of the crowd -- like Yung Miami -- with his music skills.

Travis and Jason Kelce were living it up in Las Vegas — and they had a music legend by their side.
