Benny Blanco's locked in his signature scent ... and spoiler -- it reeks of romance overload!

Check out this TikTok -- Benny straight-up admits he douses himself in Selena’s Rare Beauty perfume when she’s away ... because it reminds him of her.

It all started when Selena asked where the smell of the scent transports him -- and his answer had her blushing, even if she tried to play it cool by calling it cheesy.

Damon Dash says he's found a way to resurrect his dearly departed girlfriend Aaliyah ... by signing the white, lesbian version of her -- who also happens to be a rocker!!!

The embattled mogul introduced his latest protégée, Nicky Licky, during his recent interview with "The Art of Dialogue" and gushed over her talent and fashion sense, claiming she was a spitting image of the late "One in a Million" singer.

Judging from Nicky's perplexed reaction, it was the first time she had heard the comparison ... we're not sure if the tagline will stick.

Offset didn't miss a beat on the Joe Budden Podcast to flex on his ex ... not just Cardi B but ALL OF 'EM!!!

The "Active" rapper got looped into participating in a "dating up vs. down" game scenario between Budden and Melyssa Ford, where they argued which outcome had the best leverage for a new relationship.

Ya know ... with Cardi now dating NFL star Stefon Diggs and all. 👀

Juvenile wants Megan Thee Stallion to back her azz up off the "Hot Girl Summer" grill -- he's reclaiming the warmer months, and brought reinforcements!!!

The Cash Money Records OG tells TMZ Hip Hop his new "Hotboy Summer" record featuring B.G. and Jacquees reflects his "grown man" POV these days ... all love to Meg but she must've forgot who originally put the fire to the BBQ!!!

NBA star Klay Thompson has been occupying Meg's time as of late, so the lane appears to be all Juvie's as the race for "song of the summer" still heats up.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? If this old clip of his dating dealbreakers is any clue, these two have long been going at it like rabbits!

Check it out -- Travis told fellow guest Ramona Singer on "Watch What Happens Live" back in 2016 that if a girl’s not in bed with him by the end of the third date, he’s pretty much out.

Travis' comments left Ramona in shock, so he explained himself -- saying if a girl didn’t want to get intimate, he’d think twice ... especially after spoiling her with top-tier dates the first two times. In his mind, date three was the perfect setup for the grand finale.

Metro Boomin and DJ Spinz's Atlanta culture-inspired "Futuristic Summa" album isn't streaming so hot, and DJ Akademiks says his A&R sense tingling told him it's because the guest appearances are mostly has-beens!!!

Ak says he didn't listen to the album but noticed Metro kicked things off with rappers such as j money, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash and Travis Porter, predicting that NO ONE on God's "green earth" was going to hop on the wave because they didn't see familiar names. T.I. also somehow caught a stray through the rant.

Ak did skim over tons of superstars reading through the tracklist, however ... Lil Baby, Quavo, 2 Chainz, Young Thug and Future also appear multiple times on the 24-track album.

New aerial shots just dropped of Ozzy Osbourne’s UK mansion -- revealing where the Prince of Darkness has been laid to rest.

Tucked deep in the rolling countryside hills of Buckinghamshire, Ozzy’s 125-year-old, Grade II-listed mansion sprawls across 350 acres -- plenty of room for his final resting place, which you can spot in these pics.

It’s the ultimate Prince of Darkness palace, his burial site draped in bouquets of deep purple blooms.

LiAngelo Ball says his decision to fire up a rap career was purely money-motivated ... the NBA G League's puny paychecks couldn't satisfy this grown-ass man!!!

The "Tweaker" rapper recently joined DJ Clue, Esso World, and Hynaken on the "BagFuel" podcast, where he admitted that just because his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo Ball were rich, it didn't mean that he was.

LiAngelo -- who raps under his nickname Gelo -- told the hosts that the G League only paid him $3,000 every month, and once he learned he could make real money from Hip Hop, he split!!!

Britney Spears will not be performing at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, despite a wave of online rumors ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Britney won't be hitting the stage at this year's VMAs -- not for a 10 minute set or any performance at all -- despite viral fan theories claiming she was secretly planning a surprise return, even bringing her son Jayden along for the big night.

The speculation kicked off after several Britney fan accounts teased a possible comeback performance, with some even claiming she'd be doing a medley of hits in a primetime slot.

Drake's rumored to have an "October's Very Own" release date for his new "Iceman" album -- which is NOT a call for fanfare, if you ask Joe Budden.

On the latest edition of the "Joe Budden Podcast," Drake's current buzz came up, and Joe admitted things were looking lukewarm in the aftermath of his latest single, "Which One," with Central Cee.

Joe spent a good chunk of the segment parodying the record for its Caribbean-riddims -- scoffing that the song will only get spins during filler hours at NYC hotspots Pergola and Sei Less ... like when NBA nepo-brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo requests the record!!!

Juvenile says he had to watch in horror from the sidelines when his fellow Cash Money Hot Boys brother Turk got booted from their reunion tour ... things were contractually out of his control!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Juvenile, who openly admits he saw the tour unraveling the exact same time as the fans -- and his hands were completely tied!!!

Hot Boy Turk was openly vocal against his payout on the tour -- Juvenile tells us they all signed separate contracts -- and had been labeled by promoters as "a security risk" for feuding with B.G. on social media.

Justin and Hailey Bieber's son Jack Blues Bieber is getting some screen time in a new music video ... and it's the most we've seen yet of their little bundle of joy.

The Biebs just dropped the music vid for "Yukon" -- the second single of his new album, "Swag" -- and Justin and Hailey are playing with Jack Blues as the camera rolls.

Justin's mostly dancing and singing on a yacht ... and Hailey's doing some swimming in a bikini ... and then we've got shots of both parents playing with Jack on the boat and in the water.

Hold onto your hats, 'cause Rihanna is using her blossoming bump as the ultimate accessory ... proving absolutely nothing will stop her from serving bold, boundary-pushing looks.

Case in point -- the queen stepped out in L.A. Monday, serving up a maternity look like no other ... rocking a sheer, pleated maxi dress with a dramatic swirl of pastel pink, peach, and yellow.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any cooler, RiRi threw in a sporty twist with neon green and silver sneakers -- and to top it off, oversized floral earrings brought the high-drama glam.

If there’s one thing Lizzo’s strutting with pride, it’s her weight loss -- and she’s spilling the tea on how the journey has totally flipped her perspective on body positivity.

The singer got real with Women's Health ... saying she's still rocking plus-size clothes with the same belly, rolls, and thighs, she’s just a smaller version of herself -- and she’s owning it!

Lizzo breaks it down, saying the body positivity movement isn’t about staying the same -- it’s about the radical act of daring to exist loudly in a world that keeps telling you you shouldn’t.

Offset saw a beautiful day in New York City on Tuesday and seized the opportunity -- by creating a traffic jam in Times Square to announce his new album!!!

We obtained video of Offset making his presence felt in the tourist hotspot ... successfully causing a scene as fans waved posters emblazoned with the "Kiari" album cover -- Offset's gov't name.

Offset was dressed in loose-fitting fashion and stood on top of a car while shooting content as the fans screamed "Set it off!" at the top of their lungs.

Justin Timberlake's taking a load off after getting done touring and announcing he has Lyme disease ... and his sweatshirt says it all.

The singer just posted to his Instagram Story on Monday ... and he's rocking a gray sweatshirt that reads, "I'm not doing s*** today."

Justin's top also says ... "Mission accomplished" with a green check mark. He added some check mark emojis to his post.
