Sabrina Carpenter shook the VMAs with a bold trans rights message -- and Katseye is standing loud and proud right behind her!

We caught up with the hottest girl group of the moment Monday -- and when asked about Sabrina’s message, member Lara Raj didn’t hesitate, telling us, "Trans rights, forever!!"

Not to mention, Katseye's song "Mean Girls" has the lyric, "God bless the T girls and all the in-between girls," so their support shouldn't come as a shock!

Britney Spears is perfectly fine dancing on her own ... even if it's in the middle of a bathroom during a "horrible" sushi date.

The singer shared a grim update on her love life Sunday, when she uploaded a video of herself on Instagram dancing solo in a bathroom. As she explained in the caption, the vid was taken during a break from a date at an undisclosed sushi restaurant ... where she had a less than ideal time.

Per Brit, the food was "yummy," but the guy was "absolutely horrible" -- he allegedly showed no effort.

When Busta Rhymes shoots his shot, he is NOT subtle about it ... like the NSFW line he threw at Mariah Carey during a VMAs after-party, sending the crowd and the singer into a tizzy.

Watch the vid ... Busta grabs the mic at a wild bash after the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where he propositions Mariah for some dirty dancing, laying out his proposal in stark detail.

He states in front of the party, "You ain't got a husband no more, I wanna hump on your leg."

Two months after launching their relationship, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are once again stepping out in public ... this time at a star-studded Jay-Z event!

TMZ Sports has learned Klay, 35, and Meg, 30, plan to hit up Hov and billionaire Michael Rubin's REFORM Alliance Casino Gala at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City on Saturday, one of their few public cameos together.

Of course, the future Hall of Famer first got people talking about him and Meg on July 12 ... when he posted a pic kissing a woman whose back was to the camera. Fans speculated it was the rapper.

The MTV VMAs may have been a blast ... but the real fun started after, with stars hitting the biggest hotspots in NYC.

Bad Bunny's wrapping up his Puerto Rico residency on a sour note after the singer came up hobbling mid-performance with a knee injury.

Check it out ... footage from Bunny's final show from his "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency in San Juan shows the singer hopping back and forth while serenading his adoring fans. Though moments later, his knee seems to move in a direction it shouldn't.

Fans captured several angles of the onstage ouch and posted 'em on TikTok ... and each clip looks worse than the one before it.

The MTV Video Music Awards highest honor goes to the "Video of the Year" winner ... but, these stars lit up the stage live an in person at the show Sunday night.

Some of the biggest stars in the world ... took the stage -- and not always dressed in an elaborate costume. Take Tate McRae, who rocked the stage in just her underwear.

Sabrina Carpenter belted out her hit track "Tears" ... and, then won Album of the Year for "Short n’ Sweet" -- adding a second Moon Man to her collection, as she pointed out.

Ozzy Osbourne's friends came together for another magical tribute ... with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler even getting onstage to show his love for the late rocker.

The tribute kicked off with Ozzy's son Jack and his family speaking to the crowd in a prerecorded message ... saying they couldn't make it, but thanking them for the outpouring of support since his dad passed away.

YUNGBLUD -- an English singer topping the rock charts these days -- came out first ... crushing the iconic "Crazy Train" before Tyler and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry slowed the performance down with the song "Mama, I'm Coming Home."

Mariah Carey's clearly not onstage a ton anymore ... 'cause her choreography was a bit awkward onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards -- including a fake slap she really didn't sell.

The singer-songwriter took the stage at UBS Arena in New York Sunday night to perform some of her hits and accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award -- a lifetime achievement presented at the ceremony each year.

After finishing up a song, a woman in an all-red outfit -- who Mariah called Bianca, a reference to a character from the 1999 "The Heartbreaker" music video -- came out ... and, Mariah pretended to smack her in the face -- all rehearsed choreogrphy.

The MTV Video Music Awards always make for some crazy moments -- Sabrina Carpenter making out with an alien, anyone? -- and, this year's edition brought out some wild fashion we gotta show ya.

Speaking of Sabrina, she pulled up in a sparkly red, mesh outfit ... adding a lavender wrap to the ensemble. Tate McRae arrived in a sheer white dress ... which allowed her matching underwear to peek out from beneath the fabric.

Doja Cat seemed to channel her inner Dolly Parton in a low-cut minidress and big hairdo ... while Livvy Dunne proved orange can't replace the classic black, looking like an awards show pro with a short black blazer over matching bra -- and a pair of black slacks to boot.

Lady Gaga gave a speedy speech at the MTV Video Music Awards ... 'cause she's a busy artist whose gotta put on a show across town soon!

The singer-songwriter was named Artist of the Year at the VMAs Sunday night ... and, she took the stage to thank her fans and her fiancé Michael Polansky -- becoming visibly choked up as she did so.

LG then said she's sorry she can't stick around ... but, she's got a good reason -- she's actually performing at Madison Square Garden tonight!

Rick Davies -- a founding member of the band Supertramp -- has died ... according to the group.

The singer-songwriter passed away in his Long Island home on Friday after a long battle with cancer, the band announced in a public statement. The group offered its condolences to his widow, Sue Davies.

Rick founded Supertramp in 1970 with fellow singer and songwriting partner Roger Hodgson ... and the two teamed up with Dougie Thomson, Bob Siebenberg and John Helliwell to form the original lineup form 1973 to 1983.

Master P might be in control in the studio ... but, Farrah Abraham took charge while with him on the TMZ Tour Bus -- throwing it back in his face Saturday night!

Our "TMZ After Dark" tour is so popular we've decided to add a second bus on Saturday nights to give more fans a chance to experience a wild evening out in Hollywood ... and, we got the two stars to each host one of the rides!

Master P's bus left at 7:30 PM while Farrah's left at 8 PM ... but, the two stars got on the same bus for a minute -- during which Farrah out on a show using the pole up front.

The Jonas Brothers pulled out all the stops in Los Angeles this weekend -- shocking fans by bringing out John Legend for an unforgettable duet.

The trio lit up the Intuit Dome in Inglewood on Saturday during their 20th anniversary tour, running through hits like "S.O.S.," "Only Human" and "L.A. Baby (Where Dreams Are Made Of)." But the real show stopper came mid-set, when Nick Jonas teased a "legendary" guest and the crowd erupted as Legend hit the stage.

Nick told fans, "We got to absorb just a tiny bit of his light, his artistry and his brilliance ... Los Angeles, please welcome our friend, Mr. John Legend!"

TMZ Sports has learned the former NBA superstar -- who was just ordered to 30 days of electronic home monitoring for firing a gun during a 2023 parking lot dispute -- hit Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Wednesday to get down at "The Carter VI" tour.

He didn't seem like a guy too concerned about the sentence he was getting set to serve -- as video we obtained showed him vibing to Weezy's tunes.
