Diddy's lawyers are painting him as a loving father and pillar of the community during his sentencing ... and, we've got the video they plan to use to get that message across.

The defense released a nearly 12-minute-long vid they already submitted to the court ... which begins by showing Diddy sitting with his kids -- speaking softly to his twin daughters, D'Lila and Jessie.

The rapper plays with a paper puppet and sits on the floor while his kiddos try to steal his sunglasses ... looking every bit the attentive father.

Nicole Kidman made an appearance at Keith Urban's first concert since their divorce ... well, a picture of her did at least -- one Keith himself showed to the audience.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in Hershey, Pennsylvania Thursday night ... and, during one track, People reports a photo of Nicole and their two children appeared as part of a pre-existing slideshow.

It seems likely Keith simply didn't have enough time to take the pic out ... because photos show he's still not wearing his wedding ring -- just like he wasn't when he landed in Hershey earlier Thursday -- so, it doesn't seem he's pining to reconcile.

Taylor Swift’s new track "CANCELLED!" is stirring the tea ... she doesn’t drop names, but fans are all over it, convinced Blake Lively’s in the crosshairs after her 12th album finally dropped!

The pop icon's spilling on how she likes her friends "cancelled," singing ... "Like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers” -- sure, could be generic, but diehard Swifties are convinced it’s 100% Blake.

One X user, @damnitchristine, went full detective -- pointing out Blake’s the face of Gucci, played a florist in "It Ends With Us," and supposedly has her own whiskey brand -- which, fun fact, she doesn’t ... she actually has a canned cocktail line called Betty Booze.

Taylor Swift's carefully calculated and constructed "Life of a Showgirl" lyrics have drawn a line in the sand -- only 50 Cent is worth a mention!!!

The "In Da Club" creator got wind Taylor detailed ambiance he once created for her on the track "Ruin The Friendship" when she crooned, "And it was not an invitation / But as the 50 Cеnt song played."

50 Cent certified Taylor's "sh*t" as popping right now and gloated in the face of whomever it may concern -- "😏she shout me out, 🤫she don’t shout you out. LOL 😆 THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS ONLY! @50centaction wait I’m the only shout out on the whole album."

Taylor Swift has dropped her most recent album and fans are already picking it apart like it's the Zapruder film ... and they insist one song is totally a diss track.

Here's the deal ... everyone on the planet knows "The Life of a Showgirl" dropped last night ... and there's a song on it titled "Actually Romantic" ... which Swifties are positive takes shots at Charli XCX.

Bear with us ... in the track are the lyrics, "I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave. High-fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me. Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face.”

There's gonna be a Taylor Swift listening party at the Chiefs' facility on Friday ... 'cause Patrick Mahomes says he will be blasting her new album all day!!

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback revealed his plans with Carrington Harrison on "The Drive" radio show ... just hours before Swift's 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," dropped on Friday.

"I'm super excited," Mahomes said. "I haven't been able to hear the album yet, but I'm super excited to be able to do that. It will be blaring all through the Chiefs' facility tomorrow."

Think Joe Alwyn was in the clear? Think again ... Taylor Swift just dropped a Shakespearean shade-bomb at the "Hamlet" star on "The Life of a Showgirl," and Swifties are screaming -- it’s totally about him!

On "The Fate of Ophelia," Taylor flips Ophelia’s drowning tragedy on its head ... fans think that "dug me out of my grave" line is all about Travis rescuing her from the mess Joe left behind.

Taylor’s basically saying she went from Ophelia-level despair to full-on redemption thanks to her fiancé -- clearly choosing him over Joe, who, funnily enough, just starred in a new "Hamlet" movie. The connection? Oh, it’s so there!

Taylor Swift has been completely swept off her feet by Travis Kelce, and she's making that well-known in one of her hit songs on her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl."

The pop icon just released the sexy tune, "Wood," and the lyrics more than suggest she's madly in love with Travis, who broke her losing streak with men.

Just read the lyrics ... “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes / Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.”

Did anyone know Taylor Swift is a HUGE fan of Baby Spice from the Spice Girls? Well, if not, you do now because Taylor just gushed about it to none other than Baby Spice!

Taylor sat down Friday with Emma Bunton — AKA Baby Spice — to chat about her new smash hit record, "The Life of a Showgirl," on Bunton's "Heart Breakfast" show, co-hosted by Jamie Theakston in London.

During the interview, Taylor turned into a fangirl right before everyone's eyes, revealing she completely freaked out over Baby Spice back when the Spice Girls were still a thing.

Ray J has responded to Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner's defamation lawsuit ... and his rebuttal is as stunning as it is brazen.

TMZ broke the news ... Kim and Kris were fed up with Ray J claiming they're the subject of a federal criminal racketeering investigation ... and slapped him with a suit for defamation.

On a recent livestream, Ray went through the lawsuit ... and said they were trying to make him a "slave" ... and prior millions they allegedly paid him as hush money went unmentioned in the paperwork.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show could very well feature something no other NFL act ever has -- a WWE Superstar as a backup dancer!!!

Damian Priest tells TMZ Sports ... he's super down to hit the SB LX stage in February to give his good pal Benito a lift if he wants one.

"If you need me to learn some dance moves and break it down," the wrestler said, "I can figure it out!"

Keith Urban's not letting his personal life get in the way of his professional ... hopping back onstage for the first time since Nicole Kidman filed for divorce.

The singer-songwriter took the stage at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania Thursday. According to PEOPLE, the country star paid tribute to his family by displaying a photo of Nicole and their daughters in a slideshow while performing his 2024 song "Heart Like a Hometown."

Urban reportedly reflected on his own beginnings, recalling how his parents supported his dream by allowing him to leave school and chase music full-time.

It's unclear if Maggie Baugh performed with him ... remember, she's the musician who he changed the lyrics of "The Fighter" for back in April -- singing to her instead of about his now-estranged wife Nicole.

Nicole Kidman's tried to fly under the radar in Tennessee Thursday after a rough week that saw her file for divorce from Keith Urban ... but she couldn't escape the camera lens of the paparazzi.

TMZ obtained photos of the iconic actress making her first public appearance since her split with Urban and she was clearly trying to keep a low profile.

We caught her in Nashville as she walked to her vehicle, wearing athletic gear and a baseball cap pulled down low with black sunglasses. She also seemed deep in thought.

Just like Urban, Nicole's no longer wearing her wedding ring in these pics ... so, it seems safe to say this relationships isn't going to revived -- at least, not easily.

Diddy is staring down one of the biggest days of his life -- his prison sentencing -- and now just one day before that goes down, he’s been hit with two new sexual assault lawsuits.

In new court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Lakeisha Ward and Dejoan Bledsoe ... both represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who’s unleashed a flurry of cases against the hip-hop mogul -- claim in separate lawsuits they were sexually assaulted by the mogul.

Ward alleges Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted her at a pool party he hosted at his L.A. home in 2018.

Now that September 28 has been cemented as "K Camp Day" in Atlanta, the platinum-selling virtuoso is eyeing yet another music milestone ... his own festival.

K Camp tells TMZ Hip Hop that he's been tremendously honored by the city of Atlanta and hopes to have his own RARE Sound Festival the next time his holiday rolls around.

He joins an extensive lineage of legendary Atlanta artists each with their own day ... Outkast, Future, Killer Mike, Ludacris, 21 Savage, Jeezy, the late Rich Homie Quan -- we told you the list is extensive!!!

50 Cent's screwing with Diddy a day before the mogul finds out whether he's headed off to prison or if he gets to go home ... telling the judge to think of the general public's need for baby oil.

The rapper shared the message on Instagram Thursday afternoon ... kicking it off by addressing Judge Arun Subramanian directly and mentioning his longstanding beef with Puffy.

50 claims he's feared for his life multiple times over the years, and he wants the judge to think about the "safety of the general public" when it comes to his impending sentence.
