Miss Lawrence is weighing in on the hearsay Bad Bunny might rock a dress at his Super Bowl Halftime show next month -- and she’s got ONE message for him ... if you’re gonna do it, do it right!!!

TMZ caught up with Miss Lawrence at LAX Friday ... and she tells us she’s all for gender-fluid fashion, but says if Bad Bunny goes there, she hopes it brings real visibility to the LGBTQ community -- especially Black LGBTQ folks.

Catch the full clip ... 'cause Miss Lawrence breaks it down -- if BB's being used as a vessel to normalize what her community looks like on massive stages, then it better be done with purpose.

Cameron Diaz might be ready to plant some new roots ... and she’s been scoping out some of South Florida’s most impressive homes -- one of which belongs to a prominent NBAer.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Cameron has been quietly touring high-end homes in the Miami suburbs and Miami Beach over the past few weeks with her husband, Benji Madden, as they explore potential new digs.

Brooklyn Beckham's dance with Victoria at his wedding left everyone in the room feeling uncomfortable -- and Marc Anthony didn't help the situation ... so says a famous British DJ.

DJ Fat Tony says he spun tracks at the wedding -- a 3-day affair that included both the pre-wedding event, the wedding itself, and a brunch the following day ... with the brunch being the most awkward part because everyone was talking about the uncomfortable reception.

Since he was standing at the DJ booth at the time, Fat Tony says he got a great look at Brooklyn's dance with his mom ... which he says got off to a rough start when Anthony asked the most beautiful woman in the room to come up to the stage -- before clarifying he meant Victoria, not Brooklyn's bride Nicola Peltz.

Dakota Johnson's caught Role Model up in her ''Madame Web'' ... with the two beaming after they enjoyed a nice meal together in Los Angeles.

Guy Hovis, the singer best known for his many appearances on "The Lawrence Welk Show," has died, his daughter Julie confirmed to TMZ.

Guy died peacefully Thursday night in Oxford, Mississippi ... with Julie telling us he had been hospitalized for a couple of weeks with a lingering, undisclosed illness.

In a Facebook post ... Guy's ex-wife and former performance partner, Ralna English, wrote, "Needless to say, at this time we are all devastated and simply trying to cope with this tragic news."

Louis Tomlinson is pouring his heart out through music ... dropping a new single that appears to be a heartbreaking tribute to his late One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne.

The song, titled "Dark to Light," comes from Louis' upcoming album, "How Did I Get Here?" -- and the lyrics hit hard, hinting at the pain of feeling like he could've done more to help someone in crisis.

Lines like, "Is there anything that I can do? I wish you could see how you look in my eyes, one more time," and "Could it bring you from dark to light?" feel painfully close to home, following Liam's death in October 2024.

Liam also notably had a tattoo across his chest that read, "Where dark meets lighT," which he got in 2023 shortly after opening up about his struggles and journey with sobriety. The sentiment is also reminiscent of a 2013 One Direction track that Liam cowrote with Louis titled "Through the Dark."

That photo of Harry Styles lurking at the Pope Leo XIV announcement last May had the internet spiraling ... was he finding religion -- or just lost? Turns out, neither!

Harry jumped on BBC Radio Friday and finally spilled the sacred truth -- and it all started in a barber chair ... he said he was five minutes from the Vatican, mid-haircut, when people suddenly started screaming, sprinting, and losing their minds outside.

Even his barber was freaking out ... but finished the cut first. Respect! But once the scissors stopped, Harry wandered over to St. Peter’s Square to see who was pulling this kind of crowd. And boom, someone snapped a pic of him, which made its way online in seconds! And somehow ... he was wearing a hat in the photo ... 🤔

At the time, fans were tearing the pic apart -- wondering if Harry had gone full religion, while others clocked he was facing away from the crowd, looking like he was plotting a smooth escape.

Beloved Scorpions bassist Francis Buchholz, who also played for Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock band, has died.

The German rock star passed away Thursday following a private battle with cancer, his family announced on social media Friday. They noted he "departed this world peacefully, surrounded by love" and thanked fans for their unwavering support over the years.

Francis was a lifelong musician, who started playing bass in a high school band. He got together with Uli Jon Roth, Jürgen Rosenthal and Achim Kirschning in the early '70s to form a band called Dawn Road ... and they eventually joined Scorpions, alongside Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker.

Francis' first release with Scorpions was 1974's "Fly to the Rainbow" ... and he was involved in every one of their projects through 1990's "Crazy World." They're best known for their 1984 rock anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the 1990 ballad "Wind of Change."

Francis stepped away from the band in 1992 but teamed up with Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock to play bass in their 2012 tour. He contributed to Temple of Rock's 2013 album "Bridge the Gap" and 2015’s "Spirit on a Mission."

He was 71.

Nicki Minaj will not have to sell her home in order to pay off a bodyguard who her husband, Kenneth Petty, allegedly attacked ... because the bodyguard's lawyer says the judgment's been satisfied.

However, we talked to Weidenmuller's attorney, Paul Saso, before the hearing started ... and, he told us they planned to tell the judge Nicki has actually satisfied the judgment.

We’re living in the era where one little clip can flip your entire life ... and Daymond John came through TMZ to break down how viral fame really hits, especially after that now-famous Dr. Pepper jingle lady.

Catch "TMZ Live" Thursday... 'cause the "Shark Tank" star breaks down the ultimate power of social media story -- user @romeosshow uploaded a 10-second TikTok clip after being inspired in a dream, and that went hugely viral ... and Dr. Pepper turned it into their official National Championship jingle. Insane.

Daymond drops some wild stats too -- saying we touch our phones hundreds of times a day -- and explains how social media is basically a giant testing lab, for people chasing fame and for brands hunting their next breakout star.

The convo even lit a fire under our own Harvey -- who took his own shot at viral glory ... with a jingle about diarrhea. Yes, really.

6:03 PM PT -- A rep for Kansas City PD tells TMZ ... "Generally we do not comment in pending litigation to ensure fairness for all sides involved. Anything we have previously said on the subject in the process of your reporting is available for use, but nothing further at this time."

Trey Songz is fighting back about an arrest that happened half a decade ago ... suing the Kansas City Police Department over an incident at a Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Trey claims he was at the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in January 2021 and was in his seat at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri when folks nearby started heckling him because of his celeb status.

Trey claims the verbal heckling escalated to threats and harassment, resulting in security and police being called to his seat ... and we were first to obtain video of the police interaction.

David Harbour and Lily Allen are officially closing the door on their Brooklyn chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned the estranged couple has found a buyer for their NYC townhouse following their very public -- and very ugly -- breakup.

Sources with knowledge of the sale tell TMZ ... the former couple closed on the property for $7 million, after it went into contract earlier this week. The home was originally listed for $8 million back in October, before the price was slashed to $7.3 million in January, and now, it's finally off their hands.

The place isn't just any brownstone. The late 19th century 5-bedroom, 4-bath Carroll Gardens townhouse sits on one of the most sought-after blocks in the neighborhood. The 4-level home was purchased by the couple in 2021 for $3.35 million, then completely reimagined with AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE.

But the timing of the sale is impossible to ignore. Harbour and Allen's breakup has been extremely messy, and Lily's new album, "West End Girl," appears to pull zero punches. The title track is reportedly all about this very townhouse, turning their one-time dream home into a symbol of everything that went wrong.

Blake Lively's trying to keep her famous friends out of her lawsuit fracas ... because this case isn't about them, it's about Justin Baldoni's treatment of her -- this according to her lawyer.

Sigrid McCawley -- Lively's high-profile attorney who famously represented victims of Jeffrey Epstein -- spoke to reporters outside a Manhattan courthouse Thursday after a hearing in the case wrapped.

McCawley told the assembled media Lively's standing up for all the young women out there ... becoming a real-life example for those who might be afraid to reveal they've been sexually harassed in the workplace.

Harry Styles has been defrosting all week, and now he’s officially thawed ... 'cause he's just announced his 2026 tour -- and there’s only one stop in all of North America!

Days after unveiling his new album, Harry dropped the news on IG, revealing his "Together, Together" tour kicks off in Amsterdam this May, before hitting cities like London, Melbourne ... and one very lonely U.S. stop in New York, ruffling some fans' feathers.

Thankfully, he's not just swinging by NYC -- he’s setting up camp with a 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden, meaning fans from across the country will be flying into the Big Apple to catch him.

Nicki Minaj has apparently done a complete 180-degree flip on her immigration stance ... according to a recently dug-up Facebook post from President Donald Trump's first term in office.

As you know ... Nicki has been very vocal in her support of the Trump administration lately. She praised Donald, despite his anti-immigration agenda ... and denigrated Don Lemon for covering an ICE protest at a Minnesota church.

But in 2018, she wrote, "I came to this country as an illegal immigrant @ 5 years old. I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place & having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5. This is so scary to me. Please stop this. Can you try to imagine the terror & panic these kids feel right now?" The post is accompanied by a photo of kids on mats, some covered up with space blankets, in a large chain-link fenced-in cage.

You literally never know what will happen on a TMZ Brunch Bus tour! While "FBoy Island" star CJ Franco was hosting, "Love on the Spectrum" star Abbey Romeo boarded the bus ... as a passenger!

But she didn't take a backseat for long.
