Lily Allen's getting clever with the marketing for her new album ... using a beloved childhood character to push a song allegedly roasting her estranged husband.

The singer-songwriter stepped out on Halloween night with some pals in Los Angeles ... dressing as Madeline -- the intrepid French heroine from a series of children's books.

Allen looks just like her in her baby blue jacket, bright red wig and straw hat ... and she stopped to pose for the cameras before heading into the Vas J. Morgan Halloween party.

Sia and her son looked ready to color in the Three Little Pigs together ... matching as a pair of pink crayons while going Trick-or-Treating amid a vicious custody battle.

The singer-songwriter took her one-year-old son, Somersault, around their Los Angeles neighborhood Friday ... and, the two dressed in their bright pink outfits -- with the little dude sitting up in his mom's arms.

Sia looked happy while out with her kiddo ... smiling wide in multiple photos -- and, Somersault got off his feet while rolling around in a stroller which was pushed by a man who appears to be his uncle Jon Bernad -- his dad's brother.

Meek Mill had a scary end to his Halloween night -- he was detained by New York City Police Department officers ... and he says it was for no reason!

Here's the deal ... video is circulating online that shows the rapper standing with his arms behind his back, seemingly being questioned by police as supporters rally behind him early Saturday morning.

A spokesperson for the NYPD tells us police responded to reports of a male with a firearm at just after 4 AM this morning ... which led to officers stopping three men in a vehicle matching the description and license plate they received.

Taylor Swift had herself a fall night out in New York City this week -- flashing her dazzling engagement ring and wearing an outfit that seems to draw inspiration from her cheeky new song, "Wood!"

Check out our gallery ... the "Opalite" singer is cozied up in an all-brown outfit, wearing a short sweater dress paired with matching knee-high suede boots and a brown bomber jacket. She's toting along the Louis Vuitton Camera Box bag and has her her long, blonde hair in a ponytail and styled in a fishtail braid.

And, we can't miss her stunning Kindred Lubeck engagement ring from Travis Kelce, which sparkled along with her festive nail polish.

Tay spent time at Chez Margaux, a private member’s club in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, Thursday and walked as peacefully as a breeze-blown tree as she made her way out of the ritzy spot.

The popstar last popped up for some grub at Travis and Patrick Mahomes' new Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, about 2 weeks ago. She made herself right at home, unsurprisingly, considering she has a signature cocktail on the menu!

As you know, Taylor has been quite selective about where she's seen as of late, largely avoiding attention at Chiefs games this season. So, any sighting Swifties get is extra special.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are back with another spot-on couples costume for Halloween ... dressing up as Jack and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas!"

The pair absolutely crushed their looks, with Kourt even rocking a wig to replicate Sally's ghoulish glow, and the Blink-182 drummer painting his entire head white to bring his costume to life.

The pair posted an on-theme video on Instagram to celebrate -- cruising down the street in a vintage black Chevy Impala convertible with "This is Halloween" playing from the 1993 film's soundtrack. It's not clear where they're heading ... perhaps to Halloween Town to visit some monster pals!

Justin Trudeau's giving a nod to his new boo Katy Perry with his Halloween costume ... and he even got his son involved.

The former Canadian prime minister joined forces with his son for a joint costume this year ... Justin's in a shark suit and his son Hadrien is a bloodied surfer whose board is missing a chunk from a shark bite.

It's a pretty cool father-son costume ... even before considering the reference to KP.

If there’s one thing you can always count on ... it’s celebs going all in for Halloween -- serving up scares, laughs, and spooky slayage!

We’ve got Paris Hilton channeling her inner Britney, Meghan Trainor and Kris Jenner teaming up for some killer costume snaps, and one total hunk giving us chills by suiting up as Ghostface.

Here’s Ed Sheeran looking totally unrecognizable and clowning around -- yeah, you could say he’s bringing the "It" factor!🤡

Here's the first look at Sean "Diddy" Combs as an inmate at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and he's all bundled up behind bars.

TMZ obtained this photo of the Bad Boy Records founder walking around the prison yard Friday during his recreation time.

As you can see, Diddy's got an orange prison beanie and a navy blue puffy jacket to keep warm. It was in the 50s today in Jersey, and Diddy's dressed for the cold.

No Limit rapper Fiend is experiencing a serious music catalog boost after performing at the Cash Money-No Limit Verzuz last week ... but half his thoughts are still with rapper Young Bleed following his brain aneurysm.

Turns out, Fiend and Bleed are tighter than they've ever been in their 30-year history!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Fiend -- who collaborated with Bleed on his 1998 debut album, "My Balls & My Word" -- he says their conversations had increased tremendously leading up to the Verzuz face-off.

Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers are going to pay Tory Lanez a visit in prison ... because a judge just ordered him to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit she filed.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Tory's attempt to dodge the deposition was denied.

Megan is suing blogger Milagro Cooper for an alleged online campaign to spread misinformation about her in the wake of Tory's conviction in the case about shooting her ... and Megan’s lawyers want to grill Tory under oath.

Lily Allen is going all out for her new album "West End Girl" ... by gifting supporters something to put, ummm ... all in.

Get this ... the singer hosted a celebration for her new record -- her first in 7 years -- last Friday, and according to The London Standard, she gave out butt plugs! Some social media users claim they're actually USBs with her album on them ... but we haven't gotten to the bottom of it.

FYI, Lily sings about finding butt plugs and other pleasure toys in her new song "P***y Palace," and accuses her partner of using them -- plus a myriad of other kinky items -- to cheat on her with.

Joe Giudice says money goes a long way at Fort Dix -- the minimum-security prison where Diddy’s now doing time -- and it can make life a whole lot easier behind bars.

The former reality star -- who did hard time there from 2016 to 2019 -- tells TMZ inmates are “all about money,” and says Diddy could even dodge certain responsibilities if he’s willing to cough up some cash … like his new gig in the laundry room.

Joe says he used to pay other inmates to do the chores he didn’t want to do -- including prison work -- and claims Diddy could easily slide someone a few bucks to mark him as showing up for his job.

2:28 PM PT -- TMZ just obtained the first image of Diddy at FCI Fort Dix, and he's walking around the prison yard in a beanie and a jacket.

Diddy's gray beard is also visible in the photo, which was snapped Friday, and it's the first time we've seen him since his September 2024 arrest ... aside from court sketches from his criminal trial.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is being put to work behind bars, and his first federal prison job has him doing the ol' fluff n' fold.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Diddy's first gig at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey plants him in the laundry room ... washing and drying dirty clothes.

Manual labor may come as a shock to Diddy ... during his criminal trial, federal prosecutors claimed he couldn't even charge his own phone or fetch a bottle of water, and would send his army of personal assistants to basically do everything for him.

Katy Perry's staying loyal to new boyfriend Justin Trudeau ... because she cited their relationship when a fan at her concert asked her to get married.

Check out this fun clip from KP's "Lifetimes" Tour show in Prague Thursday ... a fan in the crowd has a sign asking Katy to marry him and he's even got a ring in his hand.

Katy's response ... "No, I'm dating someone else!!!"

The Artist Formerly Known as NLE Choppa just unleashed an explosive diss aimed at NBA YoungBoy in the vein of Tupac Shakur ... but YB's mother thinks his Memphis rival needs to worry about other things -- like coming out the closet!!!

NLE is currently ongoing a rebrand as NLE The Great, and he hammered home his new existence with his new single "KO" ... a visual where NLE transforms into both Michael Jackson and 2Pac, while spoofing YoungBoy as a crackhead who's leading his young fans down a dark path.

Sherhonda Gaulden, YB's mom, devoted plenty of time to ripping NLE on IG ... accusing him of homosexual activity.

Time to Tap-In, y'all! We've circled Gen-Z nation and here's this week's hottest stories:

In a rare Benson Boone outing, the 23-year-old showed off his rock-solid bod this week ... He posted this shameless gym selfie with his swolemate (also a handsome fella), but we gotta know: Should Benson keep his slippery shots solely for stage appearances, or are y'all down for what he's puttin' out on socials 🔥?!

Ariana Grande had fans and followers hootin' n' hollerin' when she shared this mirror pic, a total brunette baddie! With "Wicked: For Good" gearing up for its highly anticipated debut, some are puzzled by her ditching Glinda's signature blonde 'do. The question is: Are y'all wanting Ariana back in her pop star era -- on the mic-droppin' 'Popular' pop music?! ... or should she go back to Blondiana for the 'Wicked' press tour?!
