Kanye West and Bianca Censori spent the day adventuring in California ... or rather, they spent the day at California Adventure -- enjoying some rides with two of his kids.

The rapper and his wife hit up DCA Sunday with Saint and Chicago West ... his two middle children who are 10 and 7 years old respectively.

Ye kept a low-profile in a mask and black hoodie ... while Bianca covered up a bit more than she usually might in a tight, off-the-shoulder top and leggings combo.

Stars as unique as snowflakes headed for the cold to celebrate the holidays ... no, they didn't vacay at the North Pole -- they journeyed to Aspen, Coloado instead!

Mariah Carey brought a little cowgirl style to the popular skiing destination ... throwing on a gray cowboy hat and a heavy white coat.

Ivanka Trump channeled her inner Heatmiser in a bright red coat while standing atop the mountain ... puckering up her mouth and seemingly blowing a kiss at the camera.

Kanye West is usually the guy getting the crowd roaring ... but he was the one roaring while onstage with comedian Deon Cole Friday night.

The rapper, his wife Bianca Censori, and music executive John Monopoly pulled up to the legendary Hollywood Improv the day after Christmas ... and Deon brought the guy up onstage to ask him how he enjoyed the set.

Check out the clip ... Deon asks Ye if he was busting up laughing during the show -- to which Kanye nods and smiles.

Brigitte Bardot, the French actress who became one of the world's first global sex symbols, has died.

Her foundation announced her death Sunday in a statement shared with French news agency AFP, confirming the iconic star passed away at her home in southern France after spending decades devoted to animal rights.

No cause of death has been released. Her passing comes months after she underwent surgery for a serious illness in October.

No Shave November has come and gone, and Decembeards are comin' in hot! As you scroll through these scruffy snaps, we gotta know ... Are these fellas better scruff or smooth?!

'Is it too late' to say Justin Bieber should stick to the scruff? Or have you had enough?!

Mariah Carey celebrated the Christmas holiday by sharing a rare family photo with her twins -- who happened to be rocking some of her holiday merch!

Check out the snap the Queen of Christmas shared on Instagram Friday -- she's smiling in a form-fitting red dress with her 14-year-old kids Monroe and Moroccan standing on either side of her. They're clearly proud of the pop star, 'cause they're each wearing an "All I Want for Christmas is You" sweater emblazoned with her face! Extra points go to Monroe for the 'MC' beanie she also threw on.

Monroe and Moroccan were certainly in the Christmas spirit this year, because they also posed alongside their mom and Santa for a Christmas Eve post. And again, Monroe wore a sweater with her mom's face on it, that time, paired with a Santa hat.

Jennifer Lopez tried serving sexy holiday vibes this Christmas ... but is getting thanked by being torn apart online by critics who claim she altered the snap with Photoshop!

Check out the mirror selfie the "Jenny from the Block" hitmaker posted on Christmas Day to wish fans a merry holiday -- she looked stunning in a form-fitting red dress with a plunging neckline that showed off her chest.

She elevated the sparkle-adorned outfit with a sophisticated updo completed with a matching bow, and added even more sparkle with a massive diamond ring on her index finger.

But, fans were quick to catch what they think is an editing fail as they noticed her orange phone is slightly bent to the side. As you can see by the comments, they had no problem calling the singer out ... who has not responded to the speculation.

The Backstreet Boys made the "right decision" not signing with Shaquille O'Neal back in the day ... so says AJ McLean, who tells TMZ Sports while he adores the NBA legend -- he doubts they'd have the same success had they inked a deal with him.

It's a wild story, but 100% true -- both BSB and *NSYNC used Shaq's Orlando studio to record some of their earliest music when he was a member of the Magic in the '90s ... and O'Neal has openly expressed his regret over not pouncing on the opportunity to work with the boy bands in an official capacity.

We caught up with AJ recently ... and asked a good ol' "what if?"

More Epstein files were released, Nicki Minaj has gone full MAGA, and Jake Paul's got fatherhood on the brain. So we gotta ask ...

Perry Bamonte -- a longtime guitarist and keyboardist for The Cure -- has died ... the band announced Friday.

The group shared the sad news to their official website ... revealing Bamonte passed away at his home after a short illness over Christmas.

The post describes Bamonte as "quiet, intense, intuitive, constant and hugely creative" ... calling him an integral part of the band's tale.

Ratings for Snoop Dogg’s Netflix NFL Christmas Game Day “Holiday Halftime Party” drop next week, but judging from the reactions, it’s gonna draw in HUGE numbers!!!

Snoop's 10-minute performance intersected the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings matchup in Minneapolis, and he didn’t shortchange the showmanship in the late, great Prince’s city.

Snoop and his team delivered an array of his classic hip hop records with a mix of Christmas standards and tons of surprises … country superstar Lainey Wilson, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo, Netflix’s chart-topping HUNTR/X and singer Tonio Armani all shared the stage with Santa Snoop.

Lukas Haas and Anderson .Paak are in the Christmas spirit ... because Lukas got on the mic at Anderson's karaoke bar and belted out his new holiday song ... and we have it all on video.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, from inside Anderson's music bar in West Hollywood, Andy's, where Lukas showed up on Christmas eve for a live performance of his new single, "Christmas Cheers."

The song was originally written for Lukas' character on the HBO hit "Righteous Gemstones" ... and as you can tell, it's not your traditional Christmas story.

Anderson's karaoke spot was having an ugly Christmas sweater night too ... and he and Lukas played along.

Jelly Roll's body transformation has Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis amazed ... and they think his 200-pound weight loss is going to keep him alive decades longer.

Shane was a guest on "The Joe Rogan Experience" when they started talking about health ... and Joe brought up Jelly Roll, saying the rapper "was on his way out" before shedding pounds.

Joe says it's important for him to not let weight get out of control ... but he says Jelly Roll was able to add decades to his life by finally slimming down.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori slipped out for a super low-key Christmas Eve date night at “The Nutcracker” ballet in Los Angeles ... keeping a tight profile while taking in the entire holiday classic.

An eyewitness tells TMZ … Ye and Bianca stayed for the entire show -- Bianca in a fur coat and Kanye in his iconic incognito mask. Our source tells us he did take the mask off during the performance when the lights were down, but made sure to put it back on during intermission and at the end of the show.

We’re told the couple kept a pretty discreet profile throughout the ballet, clearly trying not to draw attention while still soaking in the holiday classic.

President Donald Trump's controversial name change of the renowned Kennedy Center has really ruffled some feathers ... a Christmas Eve jazz concert was cancelled in protest at the performing arts center.

Chuck Redd, the host of the Christmas Eve concert, told the Associated Press that he pulled the plug on the event because he was pissed Trump switched the venue's name from the John F. Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.

Redd said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

Turns out Taylor Swift and Andy Reid are two peas in a pod -- Big Red's wife says the pop icon actually reminds her of her husband!!!

Everyone knows Taylor as the biggest musician on the planet ... but the Reids have been tight with Swift for decades -- way before she became a huge Chiefs fan thanks to her now-fiancé Travis Kelce.

Tammy -- who was giving back to kids at a Raising Cane's event -- said Swift is a genuinely great human being, despite her stardom ... a quality that reminds her a lot of her hubby.
