Selena Gomez is finally showing off her and Benny Blanco's gorgeous wedding reception ... and it looks like their big day more than lived up to the hype.

SG dropped a bunch of wedding pics Tuesday night ... including the first time we've seen her in a stunning reception dress.

Selena looks over the moon as she strolls arm-in-arm with Benny. One pic shows her barefoot on the dance floor, kissing him with her arms wrapped around his giving ... while another shows the newlyweds canoodling on a couch, gazing into each other's eyes.

This is not okurrrr -- Nicki Minaj dragged Cardi B's daughter Kulture into their feud when they were trading barbs online Tuesday ... and things got messy.

Check out the tweets -- it all started Monday when Nicki began talking trash Cardi's new album, "Am I The Drama?" It got personal when Cardi hit back and accused her foe of "going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs."

Minaj clapped back, denying she's ever "seen or spoken to a fertility doctor" ... and even threatening a lawsuit.

Diddy's headed for sentencing in his federal criminal case ... because the judge rejected his request for a new trial and to acquit him of his Mann Act conviction.

Judge Arun Subramanian wrote in his 16-page order there's plenty of evidence proving Diddy violated the Mann Act by transporting male escorts across state lines for the purposes of prostitution during his infamous freak-offs. Diddy's freak-offs were marathon sex sessions between his girlfriends and male escorts, with Diddy watching and often recording them.

In the order, the judge said Diddy was right when he argued in his motions for acquittal and a new trial that "the Mann Act’s text and application have changed over the last century."

Bad Bunny is palling around with the cast of "Saturday Night Live" ahead of his quickly approaching hosting gig!

Check out our clip of the Puerto Rican superstar leaving New York City's Lattanzi Restaurant ... where he dined with 'SNL' favorite Marcello Hernández Tuesday.

BB follows the comedian out the door, dressed casually in a green and yellow striped sweater and blue jeans. He appeared to be in high spirits as he waved at excited fans.

Rod Wave's "Last Lap" tour didn't conclude as planned, and the Florida rapper is now staring down a new lawsuit filed by concert giant Grizzly Touring, who says Wave made costly mistakes ... to the tune of $27 million!!!

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Grizzly claims Rod Wave and Hit House Entertainment owe the touring company approximately $27 million in unearned advances, insisting the "Rags To Riches" star flat out REFUSED to honor his contractual obligations to secure exclusivity to his live performances.

Grizzly says they advanced Rod Wave and were set to pay him $40,250,000 for 35 shows -- and even advanced him $20,125,000 upfront to cover various costs, including production ... and then advanced even more money for various expenses, bringing the grand total to more than $57 million.

Yet to date, the touring giant says Rod has only performed 26 shows, earning $29,900,000 against the guarantee, and Grizzly says he or Hit House haven't complied with their demands for the extra $27 million owed on the advances!!!

To add insult to injury, Grizzly says they've been watching Rod's pockets and saw how he spent the unearned advance money on private jets and a lavish 2nd home.

The lawsuit claims Rod Wave also announced plans to launch a new tour through his own touring company ... which Grizzly says is a blatant violation of his obligation to give them exclusivity under the contract.

All in all, Grizzly says it is owed more than $27 million for the advances plus additional damages for their lost profits ... and they want the judge to block Wave from performing any concerts in violation of the exclusivity provision of their deal.

Ricky Martin’s clearly in peak form -- and he’s making sure you know it too ... posting a jaw-dropping thirst trap for the ages!

Take a look -- Ricky’s Monday IG Stories turned up the heat, with him shirtless and flexing that chiseled, gym-built bod. Yowza!!!

Clearly, Ricky was in full-on tease mode -- cropping the shot right before it got too risqué. Sorry guys.

Michael Jackson may be remembered as the 'King of Pop' ... but his pal Lionel Richie remembers him as being one stinky dude -- literally nicknamed 'Smelly'!

The "American Idol" judge talks all about it in his new memoir "Truly," which debuted Tuesday. He writes the late Quincy Jones is the one who offered up the unique nickname ... and MJ didn't take it too personally as he laughed along, "realizing that he was oblivious to the fact that he hadn’t changed or washed his clothes for a couple of days or so."

Lionel says it wasn't the "Thriller" hitmaker's fault -- he was constantly on the road and he couldn't simply hire a dry cleaner, 'cause they would often steal his clothes as a souvenir! He also couldn't just drop by a department store for new clothes due to his level of fame, he further reasons.

Prosecutors currently want to bury Diddy under the jail for a decade, but West Coast rappers Jay 305 and Jay Anthony are championing the embattled Bad Boy's catalog for life -- the music means too much to the culture!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with both Jay's outside the fresh fashion boutique Dover St. Market in DTLA, fresh off the release of their joint album, "No Guestlist."

The L.A. duo led off the LP with their banging single, "Dumb Dumb," which samples "All About The Benjamins" -- by way of The Jackson 5's "It's Great To Be Here" ... although the sample flip favors Diddy's classic.

Method Man and Havoc of Mobb Deep fame started collabing on an album before it got stalled during the COVID-19 pandemic, but now the Wu-Tang legend says work on the record is heating back up again!

TMZ interviewed Meth about the project and the hip hop legend told us he needed to tinker with the tunes a bit, so it never initially came out after it was plugged for release some time between 2019-2020 around the time of the pandemic.

Now, Meth has a well-timed update with the project set to be released soon -- and Meth and his team are currently boosting the track list!

Meth's revelation arrives perfectly for Mobb Deep fans ... as the rap group is set to release their 9th studio album, "Infinite," on October 10, through Nas' Mass Appeal Records.

If you needed another reason to hop on our "TMZ After Dark" tour (and trust, we’ve got plenty) -- Justina Valentine gave the ultimate sales pitch by turning the weekend into a full-blown rager!

The 'Wild N Out' rapper totally owned the crowd ... freestyling wild about everyone on the party bus -- like a private concert on wheels.

Check out the full vid ... Justina even dropped a bar about Ray J, who made a special -- and shirtless -- guest appearance during this night out in Hollywood.

It looks like Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" won't be crossing the Atlantic anytime soon ... because the singer's postponed the dates on his North American book tour due to visa issues.

The 1970's hitmaker, who also uses the name Yusuf Islam, shared the announcement on his Instagram account on Monday and claimed his team had waited months for their visas to be approved -- although the documents never came through.

Cat and his team are still holding out hope, though, as he stated they'd still be interested in heading to North America if their visa approvals eventually come through.

Keith Urban separated from Nicole Kidman and is already involved with a new woman ... at least that's what Nicole and Keith's inner circle and the Nashville community believes.

Multiple sources connected to Nicole say "all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it."

One Nicole source adds, "It's all over Nashville."

Jared McCain was hitting the high notes after going under the knife on Tuesday ... crooning his favorite songs in a post-op karaoke session -- from Drake to Lil Baby, Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae!!

The 21-year-old shooting guard went on his Instagram right from his hospital bed ... saying he felt "really good" following his procedure to fix his UCL tear he suffered last week.

With his eyes half open, McCain hilariously treated his 1.9 million IG followers to a private concert.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark has spoken ... and she wants Dolly Parton to play her in a biopic about her life!

Check out our chat with the actress -- she gushes that DP's got "all the assets they need" for her to portray her in a hypothetical film about her life. Hey Dolly, what do you think?

As you know, Elvira -- born Cassandra Peterson -- rose to fame in the '80s as the vampy, gothic host of "Elvira's Movie Macabre," where she would provide playful and often risqué commentary on horror films.

Lola Young is taking an extended break from the spotlight after she passed out during a performance over the weekend.

The "Messy" hitmaker announced on Instagram Tuesday she will be "going away for a while" and that all her shows will be canceled for the foreseeable future. She did not go into further detail about where exactly she will be going during this performance hiatus.

She thanked fans for their support but also apologized in her announcement, pleading ... "I really hope you'll give me a second chance once I've had some time to work on myself and come back stronger."

Latto swooped in at the 25th hour with a remix for Cardi B's new album's "ErrTime Edition" ... and admits to TMZ Hip Hop the process was strenuous, the payoff was worth it ... they're STUNTING on their female rap competition!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Latto in NYC, looking like a "Dapper Daniela" while leaving "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" -- and we got the scoop on how the "Errtime (Remix)" came about ... the collab popped up a week after Cardi released "Am I The Drama?" straight to the top of the Billboard 200.

Latto tells us Cardi had her stressed with a 24-hour turnaround -- the song needed to be recorded, pressed, and sent back to make the next week deadline ... but she made it happen!!!
