Time to TAP-IN y'all! Gen-Z was up and at 'em this week! Here are the MUST-KNOWS:

The long-lived feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar may be reignited with tonight's World Series game. Earlier this week, Toronto native Drake went from zero to 100 real quick when the Blue Jays secured their spot in the World Series, while Kendrick -- who's from Compton, California -- is backing his beloved Dodgers 💯!

The question is:

JoJo Siwa's relationship garnered buzz this week -- She hit the carpet at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala ... and packed on the PDA with partner Chris Hughes. The smooches were flying, and so were the comments online; some peeps are over this relationship, while some are totes here for it 😘!

Romance rumors have been swirling around Keith Urban and his guitarist, Maggie Baugh ... but her friend, singer Alexandra Kay, wants to put a stop to it.

Some have speculated Maggie has been dating Keith following his split from Nicole Kidman ... even suggesting she may have had some involvement in their divorce. But in an interview with "Taste Of Country" on YouTube, Alexandra insisted the rumors are "absolutely not true."

She said, "I've met her boyfriend. She's very happy and she has nothing to do with that whole relationship."

Paul McCartney left the 'Strawberry Fields' behind for a different idyllic location -- an overpass in Tulsa, Oklahoma ... no, we aren't kidding.

The singer-songwriter shared a video on TikTok Thursday of himself in the Sooner State on the bank of a river ... sitting on a slope set just a bit down from a huge highway overpass.

PM says he's got a beautiful view of the "pretty big, groovy" Arkansas River ... and, he flips the camera to show his followers the view he's looking at.

Megan Thee Stallion was front and center, cheering on her beau, Klay Thompson, for his NBA season-opener when he and his Mavs got blown out by over 30 points -- and she's doubling down her affection in a new single!!!

On Friday, Megan unleashed her "Lover Girl" single -- independently released on her Hot Girl Productions imprint -- lyrically gushing over Klay's moves off the court ... "My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby / D****n' me down, spoiling me, driving me crazy."

Meg proudly refers to Klay as "her n***a" but says he never stoops low and labels her a "b*tch" ... but raps how the Splash Brother has no issues turning her lady parts into "Splash Town" -- backing up all the liquid language she flexed on her Diamond-selling collab with Cardi B, "WAP."

The song also borrows its sample from female R&B group Total's 1995 hit, "Kissin' You" from back when they were signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records

Could Tyla be any cuter??? The singer-songwriter looked insanely hot in a new video posted Friday.

The 23-year-old Grammy winner stunned in a skimpy polka-dot bikini reminiscent of a maid's outfit, strutting and twisting on a soundstage to her new song, "Chanel."

She wrote, "CHANEL OUT EVERYWHEREEEE" promoting her latest banger.

Jeremy Allen White is already racking up praise for playing The Boss ... and if you need a reference, his costar Odessa Young is ready to co-sign the hype!

Catch the clip -- we grabbed the Aussie star in NYC on Friday, right as "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" hit theaters ... and she told us she's not shocked Jeremy used his real voice on screen ... 'cause the guy’s just that good.

You can literally see Odessa light up, gushing over Jeremy’s performance ... backing the guy who told us last month it took months of vocal coaching to nail Bruce’s legendary sound.

New Edition is celebrating their newly minted hometown street sign in a major way ... through "The New Edition Way" Tour ... boosted by Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton!!!

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny made the grand announcement Friday with a virtual tour visualizer ... with Mike, who was Boyz II Men's first manager, Facetiming the legendary trio before everyone deciding Toni would be the perfect queen for the 30-city tour.

"The New Edition Way" Tour was put together by Black Promoters Collective, and has a combined 150-million-plus records sold ... which includes the NE and Bell Biv DeVoe hits.

Even celebs get starstruck ... Ariana Grande practically lost all chill when the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker acknowledged her existence!

On the "Shut Up Evan" podcast, the "Wicked" star got a surprise voicemail from none other than the "Sex and The City" queen herself. But before Ariana could even answer SJP’s burning question, she was already tearing up like a total fangirl.

Ariana was so shook, she blurted out to Evan, "She knows who I am!" ... then pulled it together just enough to dive into how fame looks now versus what she dreamed it’d be as a kid.

Gigi Hadid got cuffed by none other than Sabrina Carpenter ... and let’s just say, the pop star was burning up over the supermodel.

Check out the clip -- Sabrina had her sights set on Gigi during her "Short n' Sweet" tour in Pittsburgh Thursday evening, playfully asking the model in the crowd where she's from ... and when Gigi said Bucks County, Sabrina fired back with a flirty, "Wow, maybe we're soulmates!"

Sabrina confessed she was "hot and flustered" over Gigi before slapping her with some furry pink handcuffs ... bold doesn’t even cover it!

Bad Bunny just keeps racking up the wins -- and probably driving his haters nuts -- after snagging the "Best Artist of the 21st Century" award at the Latin Billboard Awards.

Check out his big moment ... Bad Bunny hit the stage Thursday as legendary Puerto Rican actress Rita Moreno handed him his milestone trophy after praising him for being an artist with immense "strength and passion."

As for the "DtMF" hitmaker, he agreed he's worked hard to reach this pinnacle point in his career -- but doesn't forget to mention his team hustling there right alongside him, or the other Latin music artists also driving the genre to the mainstream.

Electric duo LMFAO -- made up of Redfoo and Sky Blu -- stormed the music charts with their hit songs "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy And I Know It" back in 2009.

In 2012, they went their separate ways to focus on solo careers -- and have yet to reunite for a PARTY!

"Party rock is in the house tonight. Everybody just have a good time. And we gon' make you lose your mind. We just wanna see you, Shake that!"

Bon Jovi fans livin' on the prayer that Richie Sambora will tour with the band next year are going to be crushed ... 'cause TMZ has learned a full reunion isn't in the group's future.

Here's the deal ... after Bon Jovi announced their "Forever" tour scheduled for next summer, fans flocked to social media, totally convinced the group would bring Richie back for a show or two.

However, sources with direct knowledge tell us fans who are trying to "Never Say Goodbye" to Sambora are delusional ... because we're told such a reunion isn't going to happen. Ever.

Ace Frehley did the impossible ... bringing his former bandmates back together to celebrate him at a private funeral held earlier this week in the Bronx.

Eddie Trunk -- a well-known radio DJ and close friend of the band for many years -- shared a summary of the intimate affair ... as well as a photo of what looks like Ace's grave marker.

The plaque has Ace's full name written out with the dates of his birth and death sitting above the Bible verse John 14: 1-3, 27 ... which reads, in part, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" ... so, it sounds like Ace is trying to provide comfort even though he's gone now.

Bunnie XO doesn't take nothin' from no one ... and is clapping back at a hater shaming her for staying with Jelly Roll after he cheated on her.

Check out the screenshot -- the interaction went down on Instagram after a troll posted they can no longer look up to Bunnie after she'd take a cheating man back ... adding they're "super bummed."

The media personality had an epic response ... she flipped the narrative on its head by applauding herself for being a strong woman who can "face pain head-on, do the work, and rebuild with the man she loves instead of running or gossiping."

Nicki Minaj sent her loving fans a wave of positivity through a post on X, telling everyone that they're "beautiful" -- setting up the perfect punchline for James Blunt to plug in his magnum opus!!!

The UK-bred singer -- whose international chart-topping hit "You're Beautiful" turned 20 years old this year -- reposted Nicki with the cheeky reply, "You’re a little slow to the party."

Referring to Nicki as "slow" is definitely a risky jab ... the "Pinkprint" rapper has been slicing and dicing everyone in her social media path, but it's easy to understand why he couldn't resist.

"You're Beautiful" recently crossed the 1-billion-stream mark on Spotify and has been certified 4x platinum since its release, in addition to being the soundtrack of many a millennial moment.

Megan Thee Stallion isn't the only one embracing the new NBA WAG lifestyle! GloRilla is, too ... the rapper, rockin' his jersey number around her neck, was sittin' courtside cheerin' on her man, Brandon Ingram!

The "Typa" star was at State Farm Arena on Wednesday to support the Toronto Raptors in their season opener against the Atlanta Hawks.

GloRilla was front and center as she watched the Raptors forward net 16 points in the team's 138-118 win ... and she was all smiles!
