Dua Lipa is taking a break from the stage to show off her shredded bod ... posing in various bikinis while on a sun-filled vacay!

Check out the "One Kiss" hitmaker's latest Instagram shots -- she's taking the chance to model a range of swimsuits, from teeny polka dot bikinis to a hot pink string 2-piece that leaves little to the imagination.

Dua's enjoying her oceanside holiday from the pool and beach, making sure to get the perfect shot at all her picturesque viewpoints.

Derek & the Dominos founder Bobby Whitlock has died, TMZ can confirm.

His "heartbroken" manager Carol Kaye tells us he passed Sunday morning at 1:20 AM "after a brief illness." He took his last breath at home in Texas, surrounded by family.

His family is currently working to pinpoint a charity fans can send donations to in his honor, Kaye says.

Dua Lipa's soaking up every last bit of summer ... kicking back and baring some skin on a relaxing seaside vacation.

The singer-songwriter shared a few photos Saturday morning from her trip to some tropical locale ... wearing a white shirt over a matching bikini top and shooting a smoldering look at the camera.

Dua's got some tiny white swim shorts on that match the rest of her outfit ... covering very little of the star's backside as she lounges around the water.

Justin Bieber's fans certainly don't need him to say "Sorry" for his new video ... 'cause they got the chance to ogle every bit of the guy -- including his "Peaches."

The singer-songwriter shared a clip to social media on Saturday from right after he jumped out of a body of water ... walking across the grass in a pair of wet tighty-whities that aren't doing a dang thing to cover his backside.

Check out the clip ... Justin's covering his you-know-what with his hand as he approaches -- but does nothing to stop his skin from shining through behind.

Tevin Hood -- a rapper from Georgia better known as T-Hood -- was shot at his home, and later died  ... TMZ has confirmed.

The Gwinnett County police officers responded to reports of a dispute that resulted in a shooting in unincorporated Snellville Friday ... and an investigation into the shooting is currently underway.

We're told first responders rendered aid at the scene and transported a man to the local area hospital where he ultimately died from his injuries.

Sean "Diddy" Combs would be Team Trump if the President doles out a pardon ... and for a variety of reasons ... so says his longtime attorney Mark Geragos.

Harvey asked Geragos on the "2 Angry Men" podcast if Diddy would pledge allegiance to Trump in exchange for clemency.

As Diddy's longtime attorney, Mark talks to Diddy often ... and he says Diddy would absolutely become a Trump supporter overnight ... but not for the reason you may be thinking.

Jordon Hudson apparently thinks she's a public relations pro, as good as some of the best in the field ... but then broke down in tears on a call with reporters.

Here's the deal ... Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill -- hosts of "The Sports Gossip Show," which was just acquired by The Athletic -- dished on a few late-night phone calls they had with Jordon.

During the call, Charlotte and Madeline say Jordon agreed with their assessment that she's Bill Belichick's version of Tree Paine. For those of you who don't know, Tree is Taylor Swift's PR point person -- highly regarded and respected in her field.

Forget Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, the man who created "The Match" tells TMZ Sports he wants the next iteration of the famed golf event to feature the Backstreet Boys vs. *NSYNC!

Bryan Zuriff -- a film and TV producer who brought "The Match" to life in 2018 -- said on Friday he's all in on the idea of the boy band battle on the links ... after he heard BSB issue Justin Timberlake and Co. the challenge on TMZ Sports this week.

Zuriff said he's got a big vision for the potential event ... explaining he wants it to go down at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas -- with the Sphere (where BSB are currently performing) in the backdrop!

Ronnie Radke is laughing off the catfishing drama he got roped into with Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan ... his new music video pokes fun at the couple, but he says the jokes are harmless fun.

We got the Falling In Reverse frontman at Beachwood Cafe in Los Angeles on Friday and our photog asked him about the "All My Women" music vid.

A woman with cartoonishly huge lips is cast as Brittany and Tommy is getting the puppet treatment and punching puppet Radke ... and there's a bunch of not-so-subtle references to the catfishing saga that briefly caused problems between Brittany and Tommy.

Freddie Gibbs wasn't lying when he told a fan he sliced and diced the orange from his "Alfredo 2" flick in one take ... his manager just posted the footage as proof!!!

It's pretty impressive stuff ... Freddie squares his shoulders like he's at home plate and takes a whack at the orange, successfully protecting the Japanese scenery from any potential scurvy outbreaks.

Director Nick Walker and Freddie's manager Ben "Lambo" Lambert can be heard off-screen expressing amazement over the fresh pulp in their face.

Kelly Clarkson’s deep in grief over ex-hubby Brandon Blackstock’s death -- but her talk show’s still slated for a fall return, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ ... "The Kelly Clarkson Show" is locked for a 7th season and the plan is to still drop fresh episodes in September.

Rumors circulated this year that Kelly was going to leave the show because of her numerous absences ... though we learned that was because of Blackstock's illness. We’re told the whole staff knew about Brandon’s illness -- but kept it under wraps out of respect for Kelly and Brandon's privacy.

Leon Thomas needs a crown, robe and a royal scepter for the bang-up job he's doing in the R&B world -- words from his EZMNY label boss Ty Dolla $ign he's gotta live up to now!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Leon outside of producer Jae Murphy's single release party to celebrate the new bop "Stop Cryin'" and got his reaction to his whirlwind past 365 days ... even getting a cosign from rapper Siya in real-time!!!

Leon's blossomed into quite the draw since winning a Grammy with SZA for "Snooze" last year ... his signature hit "Mutt" has taken a life of its own with a Platinum plaque, remixes with Chris Brown and Freddie Gibbs.

Baby oil and Astroglide were a big part of the government's case against Sean "Diddy" Combs ... but his lawyer used federal prosecutors' obsession with Diddy's personal lubricants against them ... and he tells us the moment he knew the jury was buying what he was selling.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo joined us on "TMZ Live" and we asked him if he mocked the baby oil and Astroglide elements of the case as a way to diminish the prosecution.

Agnifilo had been making light of the baby oil aspect since September 2024, when the feds started crowing in their federal indictment and ensuing press conference about finding 1,000 bottles of lubricant in raids on Diddy's homes ... and now the endgame is clear.

Rapper JID allowed his personal life to seep into his new album released on Friday -- he's a proud Daddy-O!!!

On the very last waning seconds of the Atlanta native's 4th project, "God Does Like Ugly," JID gets validation for his rapping skills from his son after asking, "Does 'Daddy' have the best bars?" ... revealing his parenthood for the first time.

The album touches on various social commentary topics and features guest appearances from  Pusha T and Malice's revamped Clipse, Ciara, Ty Dolla $ign and more -- and even got love from the Atlanta Falcons ahead of their first game of the 2025 NFL preseason.

Brandon Blackstock was fighting a difficult cancer battle before his death ... but, you could hardly tell a couple weeks ago when he was grinning big in a photo with his daughter.

Savannah Blackstock Lee, Brandon's daughter from his first marriage to Melissa Ashworth, shared a photo on Facebook last month standing alongside her dad with a sprawling wilderness behind them ... and, Brandon's arm is slung over her shoulder.

Blackstock's got his Uggs on ... bringing his leg up on a bench Captain Morgan-style. Savannah's totally beaming in the pic -- and, from the outside, it seems like nothing's wrong. She captioned the picture, "Back home to the mountains & my daddy."

Machine Gun Kelly is spilling the tea on his split from Megan Fox in a new track ... and he’s admitting he made a mess that landed him a secret stay in rehab.

On MGK's raw track "Treading Water" from his latest album "Lost Americana," he drops some brutal lines like, "This’ll be the last time you hear me say sorry, That’ll be the last tear you waste on me crying, I broke this home."

Machine also belts out, "The beast killed the beauty; the last petal fell from the rose," before going full confessional, describing packing his bags and spending Christmas in "Room Three" at rehab.
