Talk about a Beyonc-SLAY. The singer effortlessly performed through a major wardrobe malfunction at her Thursday night "Cowboy Carter" tour show in London  ... continuing to belt out "I'm That Girl" after her chaps fell to the floor!

Check out the video ... the "16 Carriages" singer didn't miss a beat after her chaps broke loose and fell to her ankles. She simply slid down as if it were part of her choreography and smoothly pulled them right back up with a smile.

A backup dancer rushed in for a quick fix, securing the metallic fringe chaps like nothing ever happened ... like the true pros they are.

Jay-Z will have an extra close eye on the NBA Finals this year ... 'cause the hip-hop mogul just placed a gigantic wager on the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the 'chip in five games!

TMZ Sports has learned Hov threw down $1 MILLION with his good friend Michael Rubin's Fanatics Sportsbook ... and if he's right, he will profit $2,300,000, on top of the milli he wagered (he'll walk away with $3.3m total).

The Thunder, led by this year's NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, are heavy favorites to beat Tyrese Haliburton's Indiana Pacers.

But, Jay's bet isn't as simple as picking the overwhelming fav to win ... it's gotta be in five games, meaning the Thunder cannot lose more than once in the best-of-seven series.

It's a bit of a longshot ... though if Jay-Z ultimately loses the wager, don't cry too hard for his bank account. He's worth around $2.5 BILLION, according to Forbes.

The woman who just overtook Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire isn’t letting that get to her head -- she's shaking off the Taylor Swift "dethroning" talk, and making one thing clear ... she’s a proud Swiftie first, mogul second.

Lucy Guo -- the 30-year-old Scale A.I. co-founder with a billion-dollar-plus empire -- tells TMZ Taylor’s the icon, and yep, she fully fangirled when she met her at Coachella last year.

Lucy kept the Swift praise coming … saying Taylor was super chill, and they even bonded over knowing folks in Ice Spice’s circle.

Too $hort's says he's got the win-win solution to get hip hop music poppin' again -- by having all the new rappers comb through his catalog and discover a classic sound of their own!!!

The Oakland OG tells TMZ Hip Hop that veteran gatekeepers and freshman artists both need to do some soul-searching about the piss-poor product they've been pumping out -- and the repetitive subject matter that gives rap, a bad wrap!!!

It's kinda funny hearing a fan shout out $hort's trademarked "Biatch!" from the street as he complains about rap's misogyny but he sees the writing on the wall.

Miley Cyrus took the Big Apple by storm Wednesday ... putting on a wild performance and then dazzling her gazillion fans in her super sexy outfit right on the street.

It all started with Miley's concert last night ... the singer jumped onstage and belted out a bunch of tunes off her new album, "Something Beautiful," at Rough Trade Below in the famed Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan.

Video shows Miley -- clad in jean shorts, fishnets, a shirt and jacket -- standing in front of a mic and singing one of her hits, "Easy Lover."

Wayne Gretzky now knows of a special place where boys and girls can all be queens every single day ... 'cause the Great One got a lesson in Chappell Roan's hit song, "Pink Pony Club" on live TV -- thanks to TNT co-host Paul Bissonnette.

Biz's session took place after the Edmonton Oilers' overtime win over the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final ... when the former NHLer started talking about how the popular tune has become an unofficial anthem for the Canadian squad.

The Great One didn't want to be left out -- so he started asking questions.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are back on everyone's radar, enjoying a cozy dinner together at a Florida bistro Wednesday -- and it was all caught on camera!

The couple popped up at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach last evening as they gradually resurface in the public eye after keeping a low profile for the past few months. Photos and a video posted to Instagram tell the story about their sweet date night.

In one snapshot, Taylor and Travis are seated side by side at a table sharing a menu. At another point, Travis is photographed laughing his butt off about something.

Lil Scrappy's recent performance in Columbus, OH hit a snag when a man rushed the stage, only to get knuckled before he bucked -- and police are now investigating the case!!!

Sgt. James Fuqua of the Columbus Police Department tells TMZ Hip Hop that police weren't originally notified of the head-bussin' incident ... but investigators say they are now combing through the video.

Scrappy was performing during the Day 2 lineup for the SUMMER614 — Where Music is Therapy Festival, when a man crept up from the side of the stage and climbed onto a speaker -- only to be pushed with tremendous force by another man standing onstage before he could even make it on the platform.

Terrence J claims he's drawing a blank in selecting hip hop's top businessman ... probably because his top pick is a bit problematic at the moment!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the former "106 & Park" host outside LAX on Tuesday ... he's pumping a new financial podcast titled "Money Talks" that's all about the Benjamins and shares he's been most impressed with Daymond John's guest advice thus far.

Of course, you too can get Daymond's invaluable advice every Friday on "TMZ Live"'s "Follow The Money" segment, so it's no surprise Terrence gravitated to the pointers that help save his pennies.

Diddy's defense team came to life during their cross-examination of Bryana Bongolan ... with one of his attorneys straight-up asking if she's even telling the truth on the stand.

The fashion designer started testifying Wednesday morning and continued into the late afternoon ... and, during cross, Westmoreland asked questions about the alleged incident where Bryana claims Diddy threw a knife at Cassie and she threw it back.

Westmoreland asked Bongolan what started this incident, and Bryana says she doesn't know.

It's guessing time y'all! Can you guess which famous gal TikTok-ed her pants off and put her golden buns on full display?

Her big claim to fame came from her viral TikTok dances, and her popularity propelled her into Kourtney Kardashian's friend circle. Oh, and she popped out onstage during Charli XCX's Coachella performance.

Singer Normani wanted nothin' more but to hit up Disneyland with her besties for her 29th birthday!

Indulging in some sweet treats, Normani and her girls munched on some powdery funnel cakes!

Nothin' beats livin' your inner princess dreams more, than grabbin' hold of your girl squad and strollin' the pathways of Disneyland!

Morten Harket -- the singer of Norwegian band A-ha's iconic song "Take On Me" -- has revealed a shocking medical update ... he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

The '80s pop star announced his diagnosis on the band's website Wednesday ... revealing he's had two advanced surgeries -- one in June 2024 and the other in December 2024 -- to have electrodes implanted deep inside each side of his brain, which greatly alleviated his symptoms.

Still ... it's a long journey ahead with the disease. The band's biographer, Jan Omdahl, spent a weekend with Morten and described his handling of Parkinson's as "a round-the-clock effort to balance medication, signals from the electrodes in his brain, sleep, blood sugar and mindset in a way that keeps the symptoms and side effects more or less in check."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial continues in NYC Wednesday morning ... and the 16th day of testimony begins with the prosecution calling a forensic video expert to the stand.

In terms of his qualifications, Frank Piazza says he runs a website called Legal Audio Video and has previously worked with the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, the New Jersey Bar Association and private law and investigation firms. When asked by the prosecution this morning if he's been qualified as an expert in his field, he responded, "50 times." The defense has no objection to his qualifications as an expert witness.

Piazza is asked how many times he's worked for the Southern District of New York -- the federal body prosecuting Diddy in the case -- and he says "50 or 100 times," and he's asked if that will influence his testimony. He points out he does "75 percent defense work." He says he's paid $295 per hour.

Travis Kelce is cheering on Taylor Swift days after she announced she officially owns her first six studio albums.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end supported his pop superstar girlfriend on Wednesday's episode of his and his brother Jason Kelce’s "New Heights" podcast, with special guest Shaquille O’Neal.

Turns out Shaq is a major Swiftie, and he began playing his "favorite song in the world" -- her "Red" track "I Knew You Were Trouble" -- on his phone, receiving an elated response from TK.

Jessie J just dropped a major health update -- in a candid and surprisingly lighthearted Instagram video, she announced she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The "Bang Bang" singer shared the heavy news Tuesday -- and is keeping an eye on that silver lining as she highlighted her cancer was found on the earlier side, noting ... "Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding onto the word 'early.' I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."

The mother of one says she was diagnosed two months ago ... ironically, just before she released her single, "No Secrets."
