The Swedish singer-songwriter fired back with a cheeky reply ... “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr” and reposted the video onto her TikTok account.

Former One Direction member Niall Horan gave fans something to toast about for Valentine's Day last month during a trip to New York City ... and fans have been speculating this could be connected to potential new music!

Sources tell us the singer was in New York City doing promo when he cooked up a sweet surprise for couples celebrating the romantic holiday. We’re told Niall partnered with Brooklyn hotspot Dinner Party to treat unsuspecting lovebirds to complimentary bottles of wine.

We're told the vibe was intimate and low-key -- not some over-the-top stunt -- just a lighthearted way for Niall to share the moment and connect with fans IRL.

Rap icon Kurupt is out of the hospital, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Kurupt was released from the hospital a couple weeks ago after spending several weeks being treated for some serious health issues.

At one point in the clip ... Flynn is sobbing and repeatedly asking a police officer if his wife is "gone." He then says over and over, "Oh my God."

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have come a long way since their puppy love relationships with Jonas brothers, Joe and Nick, respectively ... and Selena still can't believe they made it out of their heartbreaks in one piece.

4 AM PST -- The White House is mocking Kesha for blasting their use of her song "Blow" alongside a video of a fighter jets obliterating a ship.

Steven Cheung, White House Communications Director, tweeted ... "All these 'singers' keep falling for this. This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they’re bitching about."

Furthermore, Kaelan Dorr, White House Deputy Communications Director chimed in ... "Kesha quotes are like Popeye’s Spinach to this team ... Memes? They’ll continue. Winning? Will also continue."

Kesha is ripping President Trump and the White House for using one of her songs in a social media post, she says, incites violence and threatens war.

Here's the deal ... the official White House posted a video on TikTok on Feb. 10 that shows a military plane blowing up a ship ... all while Kesha's "Blow" plays.

Seems Kesha just got hip to the post, because on Monday she ripped the White House for using her music and said she does "NOT approve of [her] music being used to promote violence of any kind."

Justin Timberlake may've resolved his infamous drunk driving case ... but it's not quite behind him yet, because he's suing to make sure the police body cam never sees the light of day.

JT's legal team filed a complaint Monday in Suffolk County Supreme Court in the state of New York ... basically saying the footage of him getting popped back in June 2024 is no one's damn business ... AKA “an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

As you recall ... Justin made major headlines after he was arrested in Sag Harbor that summer on suspicion of DWI -- which resulted in a viral mugshot -- and plenty of those "ruin the tour" memes.

Kelly Osbourne is firing back at critics who took aim at her appearance after she stepped out at the BRIT Awards ... making it crystal clear she's not here for the body commentary.

Kelly hit Instagram shortly after the ceremony -- where she joined her mom, Sharon Osbourne, to honor her late father, Ozzy Osbourne. Instead of focusing on the emotional tribute, online trolls zeroed in on Kelly's noticeably slimmer frame ... and she says the cruelty crossed a line.

In a scathing statement, Kelly blasted what she described as a "special kind of cruelty," calling out people who felt entitled to dissect her body while she's grieving. She said she shouldn't have to defend herself or explain her appearance to strangers on the Internet, but made it clear she won't tolerate being dehumanized.

Deon Cole had the crowd cracking up during his opening bit at the NAACP Image Awards over the weekend, where he took aim at Nicki Minaj in a mock prayer that quickly went off the rails.

Cole began the bit Saturday night by saying, "Lord, we want you to bless our sister, Nicki Minaj," before suggesting she's "been going through a lot lately" and "hasn't been herself." Then he dropped the punchline ... joking that whatever's "in her ass is affecting her brain" and asking the Lord to "take it out."

Cameras caught audience members laughing and smiling as Cole delivered the joke preacher style, fully committing to the bit during what many online are already calling a controversial opening segment.
