Are ya ready kids ... for Elon Musk's estranged daughter's NSFW dance at a "Spongebob Squarepants"-themed drag show???

Vivian Wilson -- one of the tech billionaire's eldest kids -- hit the stage in Downtown Los Angeles Friday night ... painting her face bright blue and embodying the essence of Squilliam Fancyson, Squidward's frenemy in the hit animated show.

In the drag show, it seems Squidward and Squilliam are lovers ... until Vivian's character turns down the other's proposal before lip-syncing to lyrics from Cupcakke's "Squidward Nose" -- a song focused on an appendage that certainly ain't a nose.

Todd Snider -- known for majorly influencing the alt-country and Americana music genres -- has died.

His label, Aimless Records, shared the sad news on Facebook Saturday morning after his family revealed Friday he had been hospitalized due to an "undiagnosed case of walking pneumonia."

Aimless said he passed on Friday and remembered him as "the one who always had the right words, who knew how to distill everything down to its essence with words and song while delivering the most devastating, hilarious, and impactful turn of phrases."

Sydney Hardeman, who went viral for her stunned reaction to Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella set, is dead ... TMZ has learned.

Sydney's mother, Jamie Hardeman, tells TMZ ... Sydney died by suicide.

We're told Sydney took her own life last Saturday. She was engaged and set to be married this upcoming April.

Tyler, the Creator and his Camp Flog Gnaw cohorts had to make the tough decision to postpone the festivities scheduled this weekend due to heavy rainfall in the Los Angeles area ... leaving some ticketholders' plans completely WASHED!!!

The announcement came just a day before CFG was slated to take over Dodger Stadium ... the new dates are now Nov. 22-23.

To add more drizzle to the downpour, the schedule change now makes it impossible for The Alchemist, Clairo, Don Toliver, Men I Trust, Sombr and TEMS to attend next weekend -- time to phone in some replacements!!!

Taylor Momsen says it felt like a Christmas miracle to recently reconnect with Jim Carrey 25 years after starring with him in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" ... telling us it feels like her career's coming full circle.

We caught up with the actress and singer in New York City Friday ... and we asked her about posing with Carrey at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in L.A. last weekend. Jim was on hand to induct Soundgarden.

Momsen said it felt surreal and amazing to see him again ... adding Jim "feels like home" to her.

Quavo is Lids' newest Brand Ambassador with a multi-year collaboration ... and he wasted no time putting his home team of the University of Georgia Bulldogs on the front goal line!!!

On Friday, Quavo unveiled his debut offering, the Quavo UGA x ’47 Collection, directly inspired by the former Migos star's upcoming solo album, "SATCHMO."

Georgia has a big SEC matchup against Texas this weekend, and the launch coincides with the marquee game.

You never know what or who you're going to see on the TMZ Celebrity Tour ... and one bus full of lucky folks will live on forever in a Meghan Trainor music video ... because she included us in the final cut for "Still Don't Care."

Meghan was filming the music video for her new single last week in Beverly Hills, and our tour bus drove by while she was shooting a scene on the corner of Beverly Drive.

She stopped our tour and hopped on the bus to take selfies with everyone on board ... and brought her camera crew with her.

It's Friday y'all, which means it's TIME TO TAP-IN to this week's hottest Gen Z stories. No need to scroll socials, cuz TMZ's got you covered:

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's friendship was put on the line this week after a fan leaped a barricade and grabbed Grande at the "Wicked: For Good" premiere in Singapore. Cynthia's instincts flew in immediately, protecting Ariana. Ariana is the latest celeb to experience an unruly exchange between a fan and a celebrity. Hats off to Cynthia!

HO HO HO! Nothin' beats a holiday special featurin' a Jo Bro! Lucky for fans, their latest project, "A Very Jonas Christmas Movie," features not one, but three of the New Jersey boys 😜. They've been slaying on stage all year, and here they rocked out their fashion game for the movie's New York premiere ... Will you be watching?!

Drake finally had time to address the years-long claim that T.I.'s late friend once (accidentally) peed on him during a film screening ... and he's calling the story fake news!!!

Champagne Papi rained down in the comments of a Canadian hip hop pub who were retelling the alleged pissy incident ... "Nuh man never pissed on me in life that story was for the net cause mans don't have sh*t to say to get their interviews watched 🤣"

It was Meek Mill who first set it off, referencing the incident in his 2015 Drake diss, "Wanna Know" ... "You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater n****, we ain't forget / Real n****s back in style this shit is lit / This that Ja Rule shit and 50 Cent."

Former music manager Scooter Braun is taking a pass on OnlyFans ... after the platform tried to entice him to snatch it up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, OF reps met with Scooter, hoping to make him an offer he couldn't refuse.

We're told he asked them for paperwork on the potential deal, and 2 weeks later they got back to him ... but when he looked it over, Scooter decided it wasn't for him.

Taylor Swift made it clear to Liam Payne she was in his corner ... in a touching handwritten note she gave the late singer -- a message now expected to fetch thousands at auction.

Taylor wrote the note on December 1, 2017, ahead of their performances at London’s “Jingle Bell Ball.”

The note reads ...  “Liam, Long time no see! I’m so excited for you, you’re crushing it out there. I’m obsessed with ‘Bedroom Floor.’ It’s so cool to see you from afar, I’m always cheering you on. Good luck tonight!”

Bad Bunny won big at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards Thursday night, walking away with 5 new trophies to further cement his status as a Latin music icon.

Most notably, the "DtMF" hitmaker was awarded the prestigious Album of the Year award for his highly acclaimed "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" album and dedicated the award to "all the youth of Latin America."

He also seemingly pushed back at all the backlash he's received after being announced as the Super Bowl LX headliner, noting ... "There are many ways of being patriotic and defending our homelands. We chose music."

The Jonas Brothers were starstruck on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" Thursday ... no, it wasn't a celeb who had their jaws on the floor -- it was the man whose résumé was being examined in the crowd at their show!

Here's the deal ... a video started blowing up on TikTok earlier this week when someone filmed a concertgoer reviewing Scott's CV at the JoBros show.

Several celebs -- including Nick Jonas and even Paddington Bear's official TikTok -- commented on the video, praising Scott ... and Jimmy Fallon surprised the brothers with him on the show.

Rock legend David Coverdale is calling it quits after six decades in the music biz.

The Whitesnake singer released a YouTube video Thursday announcing his retirement from the rock world and thanking his many fans for their support.

Coverdale kicked things off by saying it had become evident in recent years he needed to hang up his "rock and roll platform shoes and my skin-tight jeans."

Cardi B's wasting no time getting ready for her upcoming tour ... just days after having her fourth child, TMZ's exclusive video shows she's already back working on her fitness!

We got the clip of her Thursday morning in a New Jersey gym, rocking just a sports bra and leggings as she went through a workout sesh ... you can see she wasn't shy about showing her midsection. The whole scene made us think Cardi might have had the baby, and now that she's confirmed the birth, it all makes sense.

Eyewitnesses tell us she hit the gym with a couple trainers, and -- other than taking short breaks -- she was intensely focused on exercising.

Offset is feeling dapper these days and for good reason, as he's about to be spotlighted at GQ's 2025 Big Men of the Year Party!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Offset at LAX on Thursday, who just released his new single "Fashion Icon," ripe for the GQ party season.

We had to get his expertise on Hip Hop's most fashionable rappers ... a long list to choose from but Offset certifies himself, Pharrell and Gunna as the most stylish in the game.
