GloRilla's "Rain On Me" track is the best gospel song of the year, according to the BET Awards ... darn near blasphemy if you ask Christian music vet, Deitrick Haddon.

The gospel singer tells TMZ Hip Hop Glo is a go for his household  ... let the Bible verse Psalm 150:6 be his guide.

But he's adamant he had to draw the line -- even if the commentary came off as hating when it comes to receiving a "Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award."

Kick off your week with this fun booty-guessin' game ... Can you score which Hollywood hottie put her summer bum on full display in this poolside pic?!

She's a singer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She loves her "Kings & Queens," and you probably have danced to her catchy bops out at the club.

Drake was none too happy after Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh was spotted at Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 2nd Toronto tour date, and Drake blasted him with a diss ... whose side are you on, you "goof"???

The diss came via Instagram DM and was made public after Drake posted it to his stories ... the two Canucks followed each other back in 2019, but had limited interactions over the years.

Singh, the city's former New Democratic Party leader, quickly apologized -- and threw the Compton visitor under the bus ... "I went for SZA, not Kendrick. I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it, I shouldn’t have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city ... For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”

Justin Bieber bared it all early Monday morning, telling the world he's a broken man and trying to fix himself just makes him angry.

Bieber didn't hold back, posting a message on Instagram, "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?"

The 31-year-old singer has been lashing out at paparazzi for months, but it's deeper than just intrusiveness in his life ... Bieber is in the throes of a mental crisis.

Happy Father's Day! Is there anything more badass than having a drummer for a dad?

Now, can you guess which dad is sipping on his coffee?

This drummer is best known for his distinct punk-rock style ... being married to a Kardashian ... and having a daughter who is an aspiring musical artist.

He may be sipping a coffee above -- but when he has drum sticks in his hands, he's selling out shows, performing at Coachella, and even playing piano. Y'know ... All The Small Things.

Elijah Blue Allman overdosed in Southern California this weekend ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, CA after overdosing earlier Saturday morning. We don't know what drugs he was using.

We're told he's still in the hospital and receiving the best care possible ... and, he's very lucky to have survived.

Justin Bieber says anyone thinking about testing him or his family better really question that choice ... 'cause he's not a dad who's going to take that treatment lying down.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to post about his approach to fatherhood on Father's Day Sunday -- and, he used some colorful language to ward off anyone looking to take a run at him.

Bieber shared a black and white pic which it appears he added a middle finger emoji to ... and, the caption reads, "I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with."

Judge Mathis isn't going to show up to Diddy's trial and support him ... but, he says those he's close to should -- though he's also questioning Kanye West's reason for making an appearance this week.

We caught up with the TV star Saturday in Los Angeles on the world-famous Rodeo Drive ... and, we had to ask him if he thought Kanye showing up to Diddy's trial Friday would make an impact.

Remember ... Kanye pulled up to the federal courthouse in Manhattan Friday, but he never actually made it into the courtroom. Instead, officials actually opened up a secondary overflow room just for him to watch the trial on a monitor.

Luigi Mangione, Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried walk into the same prison ... yes, this has happened IRL, but it's also the premise of a new musical that has premiered in San Francisco!

"Luigi: The Musical" premiered at the Taylor Street Theater in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Fran this Friday, and get this -- the show was sold out!

Luigi is the star of the musical -- which makes sense, 'cause the satirical comedy discusses the theme of violence and how it's sensationalized by the media. Not pointing any fingers, of course!

Miley Cyrus has been in the spotlight since she was a tween, so naturally, every relationship’s been part of the show.

First came Nick Jonas -- cue the Disney drama, with fans swearing Selena Gomez stole him from her. Then came a quick spark with model Justin Gaston. But then, drumroll please: Enter Liam Hemsworth: Round 1 in 2010.

After a Patrick Schwarzenegger detour, Round 2 with Liam led to a wedding ... and a divorce. Miley rebounded with Kaitlynn Carter, then slid into a buzzy romance with Cody Simpson.

San Diego Pride just hit a major speed bump on the road to celebration -- several sponsors are pulling the plug on the event due to R&B singer Kehlani's headlining spot in the lineup.

UC San Diego, UC San Diego Health and Mayor Todd Gloria withdrew their support from the festival over Kehlani's vocal support of Palestine during the ongoing war in Gaza, CBS8 reports. Several Jewish groups also reportedly announced their decision to pull away from Pride this year over her "repeated amplification of violent antisemitic rhetoric."

Her views -- which many have deemed antisemitic -- have caused friction before. In April, her Cornell University "Slope Day" performance was cut due to what the university described as her "anti-Israel" stance.

Smokey Robinson is trying to turn up the heat on a woman accusing him of sexual abuse ... asking the court to compel her deposition and to sanction her attorneys.

The singer-songwriter filed the new document Thursday ... claiming Jane Doe 2’s attorneys won't set up a date for her deposition -- and telling the judge the delay isn’t fair to Smokey.

Robinson argues his livelihood is being affected by the delay ... because each day these allegations against him drag out affects his touring income.

9:17 AM PT -- We now have new information on Kanye's shocking appearance ... with court officials telling us they had rows ready for him in the regular overflow room -- but the room became very crowded before he got there.

To accommodate him, the court opened a second overflow room ... where he sat for about 10 minutes before he bounced.

9:04 AM PT -- Kanye definitely knows how to make an entrance ... and, a very quick exit, too -- 'cause he left Diddy's trial after only about half an hour.

Kanye West's comments about supporting Diddy during his federal sex trafficking trial weren't just empty words ... 'cause he just showed up at court to support the embattled mogul.

Our cameras were rolling when Ye arrived at the federal courthouse in Manhattan Friday ... hopping out of a black car in an all-white outfit.

He shook hands with a couple people out front, then headed toward the security check-in, but, before he got to the door, he ran into Christian Combs -- Diddy's son -- dapping him up on the way in.

Taylor Swift just made some real magic offstage -- swinging by a children’s hospital in Florida to surprise fans and totally make their day.

A few clips are making the rounds showing Taylor all smiles in a cute dress, lighting up Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital on Friday -- hugging staff, chatting with patients, and sending the vibes sky-high.

Taylor was a total ray of sunshine -- taking her time, making the rounds, smiling ear to ear, and snapping pics with patients who clearly needed the boost.

Justin Bieber’s done it before -- and he's doing it again ... but this time, he took his time to break it down to the paparazzi that he wants to be left the heck alone.

Check out this clip of Justin outside Malibu's Soho House on Thursday -- he went off on the paps, telling them he was at his wits' end, and declared he's not afraid to set boundaries, especially now that he's a dad.

Justin was one step ahead ... telling the paps he knew they’d twist the footage to make it look like he was the bad guy when, in reality, they were just trying to incite him into overreacting.

The 23rd day of testimony in the federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs in NYC began with testimony from a law enforcement agent who conducted the raid on the disgraced music mogul's L.A. estate in 2024.

Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LaMon took the stand and answered questions from the prosecution first ... he said he works in the L.A. office of the Human Trafficking Unit, and has executed as many as 50 to 60 search warrants during his career.

LaMon was asked about photos of evidence seized in a raid on Diddy's L.A. estate last year, which were shown to the jury. LaMon testified agents found a total of 200 bottles of baby oil, along with 900 bottles of Astroglide, in various locations at the residence, and some lingerie.
