Keke Palmer and Anderson .Paak didn't feel like BET's cookout was cookin' when it decided to streamline the Soul Train Awards to a backyard-style concert -- and had the nerve to cancel the Hip Hop Awards at that!!!

The slick shade towards the network came during AP's appearance on "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer" podcast ... the "Silk Sonic" singer was in full alter-ego mode as "DJ Pee.Wee" and Keke transformed into "Lady Miss Jacqueline."

The last Soul Train Awards happened in 2023 ... Keke scoffed that the producers attempted to be creative but ended up having her and the rest of the talent look janky performing by the fence from the "Home Improvement" set.

Tommy Lee has entered the chat! While Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke says he never wooed Tommy's wife, Brittany Furlan -- insisting she was catfished by fake social media accounts -- Tommy is telling him to get a life.

ICYMI ... Ronnie filed for a temporary restraining order against Brittany, accusing her of harassing him on social media and waiting outside his house.

The TRO was denied, but Ronnie alleged Brittany contacted some of his underage fans online and encouraged them to come forward with alleged inappropriate experiences with the singer.

Tommy broke his silence on the situation when a fan brought up the events in his comments.

Replying under a New Year's post Tommy shared of himself and Brittany, the user wrote, "I hear the wife is stirring up sh*t with Ronnie again. Maybe it time to let it go?"

Talk about a blast from TV’s past ... "Star Search" is strutting back into the spotlight and has unveiled a celebrity-packed judging panel to officially usher in its shiny reboot.

Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen are officially locked in as judges -- with the reboot premiering January 20 on Netflix, which will shake things up with real-time viewer voting that lets fans help decide which contestants move forward.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill talent show either -- during its original run from '83 to '95, "Star Search" helped launch the careers of Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Adam Sandler and many more.

Netflix is leaning all the way in with the reboot, promising in the logline the talent is bigger than ever ... and the stakes have never been higher.

That was fast ... Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are officially single in the eyes of the law ... because their divorce has been finalized.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge in Tennessee on Tuesday signed off on the couple's divorce.

We broke the story ... Nicole filed for divorce back in September, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Nicole and Keith had already hammered out all the divorce details before Nicole filed ... so they did the leg work early on and were just waiting for the judge's signature.

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox's recent public outings have sparked rumors of reconciliation ... but sources tell TMZ they're still broken up.

We're told Megan has the baby full-time and the two are co-parenting as needed.

JasonMartin is putting his foot down after hearing Adin Ross call Doechii a "bitch" one too many times ... the culture's not going for it in 2026!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with JM in L.A. this week, and he says Adin being aggressively addressed is vital to preventing outsiders of Black culture from toeing the line in the future.

Adin maintains Doechii targeted him on her new track, "Girl, Get Up," when she blasted people labeling her "an industry plant" ... and blamed Complex magazine for helping fuel the fire.

Joe Budden, Glasses Malone, Wack 100, and Top Dawg Entertainment execs have all chimed in on Adin's comments, and Jason says it's bigger than internet tough talk ... and won't allow Adin to hide behind religion or freedom of speech to drag Black women.

Jenny McCarthy is getting nostalgic over the show that put her on the pop-culture map, recalling her breakout moment on "Singled Out" at MTV ... a sweet throwback that hits a little different now that the channel’s gone dark.

TMZ caught up with Jenny McCarthy in NYC Monday ... and, while she’s clearly got nothing but love for her "Singled Out" career, she dropped a wild memory from the very start -- revealing that the night before her first day of filming back in ’95, she almost died.

Check out the full video ... 'cause Jenny details the time she burned down her hotel room ... a close call that could’ve changed a whole lot.

Actor Josh Charles is a huge Travis Kelce fan ... but once told him he's a "d***" straight to his face!

Here's the deal ... Josh appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Monday and told host Jimmy Fallon he got to meet Travis while appearing in Taylor Swift's "Fortnight" music video. He said he took the opportunity to call the star tight end out for how he acted during the Kansas City Chiefs' 2024 game against his home team, the Baltimore Ravens.

The "Good Wife" alum recalled ... "That year they beat us in the AFC Championship game -- they beat the Ravens -- he was a real jerk that year. So I kind of fell off of him. When I met him, I said, ‘You know I always liked you, and this year you were kind of a d***.’”

Travis took the jab well, and according to Josh, even agreed with him! Travis apparently explained to him he needed to "come in with some swagger" to that game ... and it worked, because the Chiefs won the game ... and, Josh admitted Travis was able to get into the Ravens' heads.

Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her buns on full display in this eye-popping shot?! KATSEYE has 6 stunning members, here are your remaining clues:

She's cool and confident and grew up in Europe! She started posting on Instagram and TikTok back in 2020 ... and she's worked with big brands like PacSun and Gymshark!

Ashley Tisdale’s spicy "toxic mom group" exposé sent the internet into full spiral mode -- but TMZ has learned the wild theory that it involved certain celebs or had anything to do with politics is totally off-base... especially since Ashley isn’t even a Republican.

A rep for Ashley tells TMZ it’s unfortunate her "The Cut" essay -- meant to spotlight her experience with a toxic mom group -- is getting twisted into clickbait... adding there’s zero truth to what online "detectives" think they’ve cracked, especially since the piece wasn’t even about Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff or Meghan Trainor like they're assuming.

If that wasn't enough, folks jumped to the conclusion that Ashley’s fallout was tied to her being some hardcore MAGA type -- but her rep shuts that down hard, stressing to TMZ it’s completely false, especially since she’s a registered Democrat.

Red-hot UK rapper EsDeeKid blew everyone's minds by standing next to Timothee Chalamet with their "4 Raws (Remix)" that proved they were two different people ... especially in the case of Raw Papers founder, Josh Kesselman!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Josh on Monday and he tells us his phone was buzzing off the hook the morning when EsDeeKid and Timothee blazed up the track, proving that they weren't the same person as they sung ... "I'm rotten, I'm sick when I pour fours/Every time I smoke, I light four raws" on the post-drill banger.

Josh says the moment was completely organic -- just like premium RAW Papers -- he never met either EsDeeKid or Timothee before the huge name drop, but has more in store for 2026.

1/6/26 8:45 AM PT -- The TRO was denied by the court clerk because it's not an emergency order ... the judge will rule January 23 on the issue at the hearing.

Brittany Furlan has persisted with claims she used to be in a relationship with "Falling in Reverse" frontman Ronnie Radke, but he says she got catfished ... now he's filing a temporary restraining order against her, TMZ has learned.

Documents obtained by TMZ show Ronnie filed the TRO Monday in LA Superior Court, citing Brittany harassed him by contacting him multiple times on social media.

Ronnie alleges when he ignored her messages, Brittany drove to his house and sat out front. Then, he alleges she followed him to a doctor's appointment and waited outside, just staring at him.

As a result, Ronnie is asking the court to order Brittany to stay at least 100 yards away from him.

A$AP Rocky is kicking off 2026 with a bang -- with the pending release of his first album in eight years!!!

On Monday, Rocky confirmed his long-awaited "Don't Be Dumb" album would drop on Jan. 16 ... the same album he was supposed to drop before 3 kids, 2 criminal trials, and 1 romance with Rihanna entered the picture!!!

Remember our viral interview where he was giving us the "runaround" while discussing the album finishing touches? That was over 2 years ago!!!

Some stars out there really love the limelight, and others just have things to do and places to be ... can you guess who this frequent flyer is?

We ran into this rock star at the airport a while back and tried to get his opinion on music and movies ... but he must've really had somewhere to get to, because he headed towards his gate real fast!

Addison Rae Addison SLAYED during a beach day in Perth, Australia ... and we have the insanely sexy pics.

The singer teased photographers with almost "Nothing On" as she frolicked in the Indian Ocean Sunday.
