Can you guess which sizzlin' star put her toned bod on full display in these eye-popping shots?! We got you set with a few clues, then it's on you to work your magic 🪄!

She's a singer from Argentina who skyrocketed to fame with her role on Disney Channel's "Violetta." Steve Aoki is just one of the big celebs this star's collaborated with ... and if you're still unable to recall who this baddie is -- she often shares scorchin'-hot shots like this to her 21 million IG followers ...

The Game gave TMZ Hip Hop the inside scoop on his controversially titled upcoming track "The Assassination of Candace Owens" and the political pundit is welcoming the rollout with open arms -- unlike when Eminem gave her a shoutout!!!

Candace rewatched our interview on the latest episode of her podcast on Wednesday and accepted Game's reasoning for the shock labeling -- after all, she spent much of the broadcast doubling down on claims that hits were being placed on her life -- all the way from Europe.

Game also told us he wasn't scared of any of Candace's backlash, which humored her but she admitted Game's tracklist was the utmost flattery and asked him to plug her podcast, noting they only have 1 degree of separation -- Kanye West.

POORSTACY had been open about feeling suicidal, telling fans he considered ending his own life because he'd "lost everything" due to a woman ... long before he killed himself in a Florida hotel room in front of his baby mama and toddler.

In a video obtained by TMZ ... the star told fans over stream about a year ago he had to check into a "mental hospital" because he was ready to kill himself over the unidentified lady.

He repeatedly says he's "lost everything" in the clip -- though he adds his new music's all coming from his soul ... turning his pain into art.

Celebs ... they’re just like us -- but only on their off days. Case in point: Doja Cat rolled out looking low-key as hell before popping up fully glammed like it never happened!

Check out these shots of Doja on Wednesday ... leaving her hotel in Sydney, Australia in a red bonnet and a casual crop top, rocking a full-on scowl as she stepped out into the world.

Look, Sydney’s in peak summer mode -- so maybe that scowl was just the sun frying her eyeballs ... or, LBR, she probably did not wanna be caught slipping like that.

Lizzo's Instagram name is apt ... because "Lizzobeeating" ate up all the haters online -- viciously tearing into people who are still making jokes about her appearance.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram Thursday to vent her frustrations ... explaining she saw a fat joke about her go viral recently -- and, she wants to remind her fans not to let anyone shame them about what they choose to do with their bodies.

Lizzo writes, "Because when you’re big they talk sh*t, when you’re small they talk sh*t. Your body will never be good enough for them because it’s not FOR them. It’s for you. If I get a BBL mind ur business , if lose 100lbs mind ur business, if I gain every pound back and then some… mind ur f***ing business."

Steve Cropper, a guitarist whose work was featured on some of the biggest hits of the soul era, has died.

Soulsville Foundation President and CEO Pat Mitchell Worley said Cropper's family told her the musician died in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, reports the Associated Press. Although a cause of death wasn't released, an associate of Cropper's said the guitarist had recently spent time rehabilitation facility after a fall.

Cropper started playing guitar in his early years, and he later formed a group called The Mar-Keys, which became Stax Records' house band. Several members of The Mar-Keys, including Cropper, eventually joined Booker T. and the M.G.'s, whose best-known song, "Green Onions," became a hit in 1962.

Cropper went on to provide backing instrumentation for artists like Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding, and he co-wrote Redding's hit track "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."

The guitarist later joined The Blues Brothers revue band, appearing in the 1980 movie and its 1998 sequel "Blues Brothers 2000."

Cropper was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, along with the rest of Booker T. and the M.G.'s, in 1992, and he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.

He was nominated for several Grammy Awards over the course of his life, winning two for Best Rhythm and Blues Song and Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1969 and 1995, respectively.

Cropper was 84 years old.

Before this big blue-eyed boy turned into a singer and actor, he was just chillin' with his two actor siblings, and left Kansas at 10 years old ... to head off to Cali!

When he was 19, he kicked off his singer career as one of the members of pop band "Big Time Rush."

"Make it count, play it straight. Don't look back, don't hesitate."

Ray J says he was afraid when Princess Love's cousin and her husband pulled up to his house demanding to take his kids ... but, even though he held a gun, he says he never pointed it at anyone.

The singer tells TMZ ... he went to his private bedroom to tell the live stream he was on that nobody would take his kids while they were intoxicated -- as he's alleging Princess Love and co. were at the time.

He says he didn't like having two people -- not including Princess Love, who lives in her own house down the street -- being in his private space near his child ... calling them aggressive and belligerent. Ray J says the three were invited guests to prep Thanksgiving dinner, but he didn't love that the extended family were up in the bedroom area.

Lily Allen is plugging her new album in an unusual way ... she's selling butt plugs that double as a USB drive containing her new tunes.

The singer is hawking the sex toy-shaped electronics on her website for $34 a pop ... and while it looks like a blue-and-white polka-dot butt plug, Lily says it's really "a novelty USB device intended for data storage only." Sure, Jan.

Lily sings about finding butt plugs and other pleasure toys in her song "P***y Palace," which is on the new album, and accuses her partner of using them -- plus a treasure trove of other kinky items -- to cheat on her.

Isaiah Jaay had the TMZ Brunch Bus baddies going wild ... getting the whole group hyped as they hit a few popular spots in Los Angeles Sunday.

The R&B singer led the bus to The Henry, The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker, and TomTom Restaurant & Bar in West Hollywood to cap off the long holiday weekend ... belting out soulful notes on the ride and throwing in some fancy dances moves to boot.

Jaay recently served as the audience host at the "Baddies Gone Wild" reunion show ... and, while our bus didn't get as out of hand as the three-episode reunion, Jaay certainly knows how to rock a crowd just right.

Miley Cyrus is engaged -- and daddy dearest is thrilled, wasting no time blasting out a gushy shout-out to her and new fiancé Maxx Morando to celebrate the happy news!

In an IG carousel Wednesday, Billy kicked things off with a shot of himself, Miley, and Dolly Parton -- giving the country icon full credit as the "greatest godmother" and basically saying that’s why Miley turned out so special.

Since this was all about the engagement, Billy followed up with two sweet shots of Miley and Maxx -- writing, "So happy you and MaxxAgazillion found each other!!!! Congratulations! Happy to see you both so happy!!!"

Paul Anka has seen it all in his half-century in Hollywood ... and that includes Frank Sinatra's schlong.

The legendary singer-songwriter joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked him about his new documentary, his upcoming Broadway show, his secrets to health and longevity, his legal beef with Michael Jackson, the story behind Sinatra's "My Way" ... and yes, Sinatra's penis.

Paul made headlines this week when he confirmed Frank was very well-endowed ... and here, he hilariously explains how Sinatra's massive member got brought up in an interview that went viral.

The Game is halfway recovered from his birthday bash over the weekend, but he's ready to rap 'n roll with his upcoming DJ Drama-boosted mixtape ... featuring the track "The Assassination of Candace Owens"!!!

The song's title raised plenty of eyebrows when the Compton rap legend released the track list for "Every Movie Needs a Trailer," produced by Mike & Keys.

Candace has been claiming that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, have put a bounty on her head on her podcast for weeks ... and The Game tells TMZ Hip Hop he metaphorically took her conspiracies and flipped them into a song.

Travis Kelce made a specific request to the Kansas City Chiefs regarding his relationship with Taylor Swift ... asking his employer to refrain from playing her hits over the speakers on gameday.

Settle down, Swifties -- he's got a good reason.

Mark Donovan -- who's been running the Chiefs' front office since 2011 -- revealed the ask dates back to the beginning of Kelce and Swift's romance ... when the superstar tight end said putting a spotlight on the singer separates him from the rest of the team.

"We never played a Taylor Swift song in the stadium when she's in the building," MD said on FanDuel's "Up & Adams" show show.

Miley Cyrus has that newly engaged glow ... flashing her shiny new ring while gushing about leveling up with Maxx Morando.

The singer appeared on "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning and spilled the tea -- saying she’s usually a total control freak, but she finally surrendered in her relationship with Maxx ... which is why that proposal completely blindsided her.

Miley said everything in her life lined up perfectly -- from dropping her original song "Dream as One" for the upcoming "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ... to locking in her real-life love with Maxx -- and she couldn’t be more grateful for the double win.

10:15 AM PST -- Bad Bunny is the king of Spotify -- taking the honor as the streamer's top artist -- and he got quite the unique present to celebrate the milestone.

Check it out -- Spotify had a bedazzled ring made that sports a photo of the cover of his uber-successful "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" album -- which was unsurprisingly the most-streamed album globally on Spotify.

Perhaps he'll wear it at next year's Super Bowl, where he's headlining the iconic halftime show.

Don't look now, but Bad Bunny is back on top of Spotify's most-streamed list ... dethroning the reigning queen, Taylor Swift.

Spotify Wrapped confirmed the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show headliner also headlines their 2025 list of most-streamed artist globally, having garnered more than 19.8 billion streams, marking a return to the top spot after a 2-year hiatus.

BB previously topped the list in 2020, 2021 and 2022 before Tay-Tay took over in 2023 and 2024.
