Addison Rae is "feeling beautiful" and making sure you know it -- dropping a flurry of sultry IG snaps to really drive the message home.

Peep the pics -- the internet personality turned music star rocked a barely-there look, with a lacy purple bra spilling over a tiny crop top, and lace-up micro shorts that left very little to the imagination.

Addison was clearly feeling herself, serving up sexy poses with her mouth slightly open and major "look at me" energy in every frame.

Hollywood stars are deep in the heart of Texas ... with the Backstreet Boys, Jelly Roll, Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini among the celebs in the house for a big award show.

The Academy of Country Music Awards is going down at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco ... and ya gotta see what all the celebs are wearing.

We've seen Gretchen Wilson, Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, Mickey Guyton, Morgan Wade, Reba McEntire, Rita Wilson and Wynonna Judd ... just to name a few.

The iconic home of late music producer Quincy Jones is hitting the market ... and the place looks amazing.

Quincy designed the nearly 25,000 estate and lived there until his November 2024 death ... and now the property is being listed for $59,995,000.

The home features 5 bedrooms and all the bells and whistles ... we're talking an infinity pool, tennis court, indoor garden, wine bar, game lounge, home gym and a screening room.

DDG boasting to us about releasing hip hop's first-ever album created on live stream has backfired ... DJ Statik Selektah will be damned if any young whipper-snapper will take credit for his credentials!!!

Last week, we spoke to DDG about his new album "Blame the Chat," which he made for fans in real-time and even let them in on the creative control by picking beats and features.

On Thursday, Statik angrily entered said chat and gave DDG a history lesson on his discography -- including his joint projects with Freeway, Freddie Gibbs and the 4 collab albums with Bun B he created live on YouTube!!!

Federal prosecutors are taking a big gamble with one of their star witnesses in Diddy's sex trafficking trial, because the woman they call "Victim 3" has always made it clear she does NOT want to testify ... TMZ has learned.

During jury selection this week, lead prosecutor Maurene Comey admitted the feds do not know whether the alleged victim -- one of Diddy's ex-girlfriends -- intends to appear in court to testify against him. Comey said the woman does not live locally, there's an issue getting in touch with her attorney ... and she may not even show up to court despite a subpoena.

Our sources with direct knowledge say the woman has never cooperated with prosecutors, and never gave them an indication she would be willing to take the stand during the trial.

DON'T SLEEP ON THIS -- This sexy star recently blessed her 87 million Instagram followers with a little tease in bed!

Here's another clue for ya ... she walked the steps earlier this week and owned her Met Gala look.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially willing to take less for their massive marital home ... cutting the price by $8 million -- even though J Lo really didn't want to.

The famous exes cut the price of their Beverly Hills estate from $68 million to a touch under $60 million ... a massive $8-mil price drop.

The home's been on the market for nearly a year now ... so, it makes sense the couple's willing to take the L and take a lower price -- though our sources have been clear that Jennifer was willing to wait it out.

Miley Cyrus is in a good place with her father ... because we're told she's been spending time recently with Billy Ray.

Sources close to the Cyrus family tell TMZ ... Miley and Billy have a good relationship and they have been hanging out.

There were a bunch of media reports last year speculating things were icy between them -- mostly after Miley snubbed Billy Ray in an acceptance speech at the Grammys -- but we're told the two have maintained a good relationship over the years and see each other in person from time to time.

Memphis rapper Big Boogie has been known to say some outlandish things ... but he wasn't joking when he had to suck up his fear of Chuck E. Cheese -- to please his daughter!!!

Boog posted video of himself admitting he hasn't confronted the pizza-slicing rat since he ran away scared from the mascot as a kid, and his profession as a street rapper has kept him distanced from rodents ever since.

It's a moment of hilarity when Boogie and Chuck E. Cheese meet face to face, prompting the rapper into a wide-eyed stance ... but he manages to overcome his anxiety, at least for the moment.

Boogie kept his distance for the most part and wedged his daughter between himself and Big Chuck for a photo-op she'll likely tease him about when she gets older.

That Charles Entertainment Cheese childhood trauma probably led to making decisions to turn down multimillion-dollar college scholarships ... but the party appeared to be a hit with the tykes, at least.

Gloria Estefan says Diddy was nice to have as a neighbor ... but that doesn't mean they had any "Freak Off" parties together.

We got Gloria leaving iHeartRadio in New York City on Thursday and our photog asked her about a lawsuit she was named in last month ... where a man claimed he was sexually assaulted, raped and humiliated at a "freak off" party in Miami attended by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James, Diddy, and Gloria.

Gloria says the guy behind the lawsuit is "not well in the head" ... and she's doubling down on her vehement denial of some serious allegations against her.

12:55 PM PT -- Tish Cyrus doubled down on the fact she did NOT unfollow her daughter, saying via X, "I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we’ve always been. Period. Love you Little ❤️"

Tish Cyrus is slamming the brakes on all that family feud chatter -- insisting she never hit unfollow on daughter Miley, despite the internet spiraling into full meltdown mode.

TC set the record straight in the comments of her "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast’s IG on Thursday, saying she had no idea how Miley’s account got unfollowed -- and declared it definitely wasn’t on purpose.

Tish made it loud and clear -- she has zero idea how the unfollow even happened, and swears up and down she’d never intentionally boot Miley from her account.

The New York Knicks' unexpected 2-0 lead in their playoff series against the Boston Celtics isn't sitting well with the green team's core fan base ... and veins are popping out of temples as a result!!!

On Thursday, Benzino dared all Knicks fans to bet him that his Celtics would prevail in Game 3 ... at Madison Square Garden with their backs against the wall.

Benzino noted how the Knicks haven't won a chip since 1973 and didn't foresee it happening this year ... they're running with the Mets colors, for cryin' out loud.

Sam Asghari gave fans a front-row seat to his workout with an eye-popping fitness video -- and LBR, this will have you questioning if the only thing getting a workout in is his muscles.

In an IG clip, shirtless Sam was fully locked into beast mode -- while fans were, ahem, equally fixated ... particularly on one standout asset that had some serious airtime during enthusiastic jumping rope.

Yup, you need to see the video for some serious bounce -- 'cause honestly, it speaks for itself. But just to drive it home one last time: Britney Spears’ ex? Yeah, he’s got the whole package, no question.

Cassie is set to testify against Diddy in his federal trial ... and, it better be sooner rather than later -- 'cause it looks like she may need to rest, recuperate and get ready for baby number 3 soon!

Photogs snapped Cassie out in New York City Wednesday ... standing on a stoop in a gray sweater that just barely covers her massive baby bump.

It's hard to tell exactly how far along the singer-songwriter is here, though she did announce she's with child back in February ... but, it's clear she's deep in pregnancy mode now -- and, she'll be waddling up to the witness stand soon to testify.

Ashanti wouldn't be the R&B star she is today if it wasn't for Irv Gotti ... so says his brother Chris, who's also pissed she'd deny her past sexual relationship with the late mogul!!!

Chris appeared on the "Let's Keep It 100" podcast and ripped into Ashanti ... pointing out how she and 50 Cent's career lineage will always be tied in with Irv's Murder Inc.

Irv died from suspected stroke complications in February, further highlighting the rift between him and Ashanti after Murder Inc. was dismantled.

Simon Cowell's known for being a bit nasty to contestants on the TV shows he judges ... but, a couple wanted him to get nasty in the bedroom too -- asking him to judge them while they did the deed.

The former "American Idol" judge sat for an interview on the "How to Fail with Elizabeth Day" podcast ... and, Day asked him what people say to him most when they stop him in the street.

Cowell says fans -- particularly Americans -- used to ask him all the time to be rude to them ... a request he usually turned down.
