Kanye West is doubling down on his apology tour -- insisting his remorse over his antisemitic and alarming behavior is real, not some slick PR play to save his music career.

In a new Vanity Fair interview, Ye rattled off his recent wins ... Top-10 most-streamed artist in the U.S. on Spotify in 2025, plus his upcoming album "Bully" already among the most pre-saved ... saying business is fine, so this isn’t about reviving his brand.

Instead, he claims he apologized because his behavior "went too far" and weighed heavy on his heart ... again singling out the Jewish and Black communities for direct remorse.

Nike and Kim Kardashian brought out the big guns for their latest collab ... enlisting BLACKPINK's LISA to model their new line with a majestic dance.

The Thai K-pop mega star -- who recently inked a deal with the Swoosh -- starred in an ad for NikeSKIMS that dropped on Tuesday ... which shows her doing her best "modern ballerina" moves while rocking their Spring '26 Collection.

LISA's one of the most popular names out right now, so the company joining forces with the musician and 'White Lotus' actress already made a ton of sense ... but it turned out to be a total no-brainer after having put her signature choreography on display for the campaign.

Before this cool kid in red turned into a superstar, he was just roughhousin' with his bros ... and growing up in New Jersey.

You may have seen him on Disney's "Camp Rock" and "Hannah Montana..."

Zac Brown scored a major federal court victory ... a judge just ordered his estranged wife to return the documents she took when the country star fired her from his company.

According to the ruling, obtained by TMZ, the judge granted Zac Brown Collective a permanent injunction, ordering Yazdi to return all confidential materials within seven days, certify under oath that she's done so, and permanently stop using or further disclosing any of Zac's business information.

Lowell “Sly” Dunbar, who was one half of legendary Jamaican duo Sly & Robbie, has died, his daughter confirmed to TMZ.

Fresh off the heels of her split with Feid ... Karol G reunited with Bad Bunny for his final concert in Medellin, Colombia, on his "Debi Tirar Mas Foto" tour.

The two biggest reggaeton artists in the world took fans back nearly a decade when they performed their hit collaboration "Ahora me llama." The 2017 song is one of the most successful of either artist, and the crowd absolutely ate it up.

The earth-shattering surprise appearance comes just weeks before Bad Bunny will take one of the biggest stages in the world -- the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has taken out an ad in The Wall Street Journal apologizing to "Those I Hurt," for his bigoted and alarming behavior in recent years ... naming his gravitation toward Nazi symbolism as something he particularly regrets.

In the ad, Ye blames the car crash that nearly took his life 25 years ago for causing undiagnosed damage to his frontal-lobe, which he says affected his mental health and led to his bipolar type-1 diagnosis.

He writes, "I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret."

He continued ... "It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people."

Billie Eilish isn’t sitting this one out -- she’s calling out fellow celebs for staying silent about ICE and CBP in the wake of Alex Pretti’s shooting death ... and resharing a clip of her brother Finneas to show how easy it is to speak up.

In an IG post Sunday, Billie posted a selfie with a baffled look and the caption, "Hey my fellow celebrities, u gonna speak up? Or..." -- clearly putting quiet A-listers on notice.

Billie’s been loud on plenty of political fronts before ... so it’s no shock she posted to rally support and to judge the silence surrounding Saturday's shooting.

Stefon Diggs is going to the Super Bowl for the first time ever ... and no one is happier about it than his girlfriend Cardi B.

Bad Bunny won't be attending a dress fitting prior to his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance in just a few weeks ... because we're told he's not wearing a gown despite reports.

Here's the deal ... a rumor has been circulating online that the "DtMF" hitmaker planned to wear a dress for his performance in Santa Clara on February 8 -- a controversial move which no doubt would've upset people even more than the announcement that he would headline the show did.

However, production sources tell TMZ ... he's not wearing a dress during the show -- though they wouldn't say what he is wearing.

Bianca Censori brought a little moonlight to earth ... looking like a silvery vision while painting the town with her man, Kanye West.

The dynamic lit up Los Angeles Friday night for a date to the cinema... with Bianca wearing another of her fashion-forward ensembles, a sheer silver top and matching leggings. The see-through top gave a glimpse at her bodacious chest ... held up nice 'n pretty with a silver bra top.

Ye wore an outfit more fit for function than fashion ... choosing a simple brown coat over a white shirt.

Harry Styles wasn’t just hitting his marks and showing off his dance moves in the music video for his newly released single “Aperture" ... he was taking hits too!

A production source tells TMZ ... Harry personally handled the majority of the action stunts seen in the visually intense video -- including a gnarly staircase fall that took hours to nail ... roughly six hours and multiple takes to get right.

We’re told the shoot went down over three days -- following a full week of rehearsals -- with filming centered at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles ... famously known as the filming location of "True Lies," "Blade Runner," and Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" music video.
