Hilary Duff's music career isn't "so yesterday" ... the former Disney Channel star is set to release new music for the first time in over a decade.

The "Lizzie McGuire" star shared the big career update on Tuesday, when she uploaded to Instagram photos of herself working on a new EP in the studio. She has signed a new deal with Atlantic Records ahead of the album release.

While Hilary didn't share much about her new album, she did confirm that "new music" was on the way ... teasing that there's plenty more to be expected from the upcoming project.

Drake's made incredible music over the years, just at the expense of his top producers, OVO Noah "40" Shebib and Boi-1da's love for one another ... so claims Stat Quo.

The former Dr. Dre protégé recently appeared on Justin Hunte's "Culture United" stream alongside Glasses Malone and several other podcasters, where he referred to the Canadian's behavior as "two-faced" while discussing Young Thug's leaked phone call explosion.

Stat told the chat he saw the Canucks buckin' in real time because 40 and Boi-1da hated one another for years -- and sent a shout out to Boi-1da as a half-apology for spilling the beans.

Britney Spears' divorce from her third husband Sam Asghari left her completely alone ... and we explore the challenges she faced with her family estrangement in the aftermath of her conservatorship in a special documentary that's now on YouTube.

When Britney and Sam divorced in 2023, we took an in-depth look at her life with our TV special, "TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: Divorce & Despair," and it was super enlightening.

Britney's divorce left her with only two people in her life ... her manager and her lawyer. No friends, and basically no family.

Rebecca Black says the grind of touring with Katy Perry nearly broke her -- so she coped the only way she knew how ... by diving headfirst into a whole lotta gay sex.

Yep, the singer let off some serious steam by getting down and dirty on the regular -- calling it a blessing to always have steamy nights to look forward to with her mystery GF ... whose identity she’s keeping strictly under wraps.

Rebecca broke it down for PEOPLE -- the last few months have been chaos ... opening for Katy's "Lifetimes" tour, headlining her own tour in the spring, dropping her "Salvation" project in Feb, and squeezing in DJ sets and festival gigs on top of it all.

Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her derrière on display in this golden shot?! Kick off 'Money Monday' and see if you can cash in on the unknown star ...

She's a brunette baddie who sings and dances ... 'Don't show up, don't come out' unless you're absolutely certain you know who she is ...

Daz Dillinger announced his upcoming album with some art that says "Fuc Death Row Records" with pure vitriol, but fans can relax -- he's not dissing Snoop Dogg!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with Daz at LAX, and he explained his new album rollout for "Retaliation, Revenge, and Get Back 3," where he referred to somebody as "Snoop Knight."

The post featured the legendary Death Row logo with bullet holes, shooting the image to hell and the news threw fans for a loop.

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.

Check out the pics ... there were a handful of post-VMA bashes Sunday night, drawing all types of celebs dressed to impress.

Mariah Carey came ready to party in an all black outfit with a fresh pair of shades ... while Cardi B brought the energy in a cheetah-print outfit.

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.
