Tré Melvin was a standout celebrity host on our TMZ Brunch Bus ... even bringing fellow famous friend Zach Campbell as the two -- along with the incredible DJ Nyla -- brought the house (err ... bus) down with amazing performances and energy in between stops.
But the real headline is when Tré got candid about artists he says "betray their communities for tyrannical power" in pursuit of fame -- a comment seemingly referencing Nicki Minaj and her recent support of Donald Trump.
Tré didn't dwell too much on his disappointment in the "Super Bass" rapper ... as the brunch tour rolled through Beaches WeHo, with shots waiting and a drag performance just for the bus. Then they stopped at Saddle Ranch Chop House, where guests were treated to French toast bites and a wild deal: $9.99 bottomless mimosas -- basically unlimited refills for the price of one.
Paris Jackson turned a courthouse run into a full-blown fashion moment -- and no, this wasn’t some glitzy red carpet … she was heading in for a hearing tied to her late dad Michael Jackson’s estate.
Check out the look -- Paris rocked a burgundy blouse tucked into matching wide-leg trousers, strutting into L.A. court Wednesday morning in skyscraper heels while carrying a matching handbag and clutching her paperwork like a boss.
No doubt about it, she looked phenomenal -- beachy waves cascading down, a bright smile on her face, serving confidence while handling business.
Alex Warren says his Grammys performance went so wrong that he wanted to ditch the whole ceremony.
In the newest episode of “Call Her Daddy,” he tells Alex Cooper all about the “horrifying” performance, admitting he was "holding back tears.”
Remember, AW was seemingly having technical issues during his portion of the Best New Artist medley, causing his timing to be delayed from the backing track.
He told the podcaster it was so bad that he wanted to bail on the rest of the Grammys, saying … “Once that happened, I was like, ‘Damn, I wanna go home.’”
Travis Scottand a handful of artists are jumping to the defense of a Black man in Texas whose rap lyrics were cited during his sentencing for a double murder ... which landed him on death row, but the rappers believe using lyrics to impose capital punishment is unconstitutional.
James Broadnax was 19-years old when he killed two white men during a robbery in Garland, Texas ... and in 2009, a nearly all-white jury convicted him and decided he deserved the death penalty.
Prosecutors introduced Broadnax's handwritten rap lyrics as evidence only after he was convicted -- during the sentencing phase -- and during deliberation, the jury twice asked to see 40 pages of Broadnax's lyrics.
North West is making some new noise in the music game, 'cause the first snippet from her latest collab just dropped, and it looks like total chaos ... in the most fun way!

No word yet on when the full music video is dropping -- but if this teaser is anything to go by, these two could be cooking up a serious Gen Alpha hip-hop moment.
You won't catch Jack White taking a page out of Taylor Swift's playbook when it comes to songwriting ... because the White Stripes frontman says penning songs about breakups is a total snooze.
Jack sat down for an interview with The Guardian over the weekend and threw a little shade Taylor's way ... saying the trend of pop stars writing songs about their public breakups -- “in the Taylor Swift way” -- just doesn’t interest him.
He added he finds it “a little boring” to write about himself -- even if he had an interesting day -- because he’s already lived it and has no desire to relive it again.
Bad Bunny is one bad birthday boy!!! One swipe through our hot shots gallery and that upper lip of yours will be sweatin'!!
The Puerto Rico native has had himself a year! He took home three Grammys and made his stance known -- or his “seat,” rather -- during “God Bless America” at the Yankees vs. Blue Jays playoff game.
Oh, and he also slayed the Super Bowl halftime show -- becoming the first artist to perform the Super Bowl halftime show primarily in Spanish!
Rihanna was home with her 3 kids at the time an assailant targeted their L.A.-area mansion with gunfire -- A$AP Rocky, the father of the kids, was also home.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the singer was shacked up inside her house with the children she shares with A$AP -- namely RZA, Riot Rose, and Rocki Irish -- before all hell broke loose on Sunday afternoon.
The suspected shooter, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, allegedly fired off several shots from her vehicle at the residence ... but luckily RiRi and her youngsters were not injured, our sources said.
It took a minute ... but Dr. Dre has finally unloaded his longtime Malibu beach house after 4 years on the market -- and he’s walking away with a hefty payday!
Real estate sources tell TMZ the rap mogul sold the carbon 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom pad along iconic Pacific Coast Highway for $16.5 million ... and the deal was done quietly off-market.
Dre originally listed the place in 2022 for $20 million, so he didn’t quite hit that mark -- but the property still fetched a solid price for what it offered, sitting on a roughly 7,000-square-foot lot.
Kanye West -- who now goes by Ye -- is coming back to Los Angeles.
In his first live performance since his Mexico City shows in January -- and his first live Los Angeles show since 2021 -- Ye will be hitting the stage at SoFi Stadium April 3.
Promotional art for the new concerts show Ye's wife Bianca Censori is back ... while the rapper dons a Jason Voorhees mask.
Remember, the last time Ye rocked a live crowd in L.A., he did it alongside Drake at the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert, which was livestreamed on Prime Video.
Ye was supposed to perform at SoFi in 2022, but the show was canceled after he was snapped in a "White Lives Matter" T-shirt.
Country music star Maren Morris is speaking her mind about what she sees as the failures of the Trump administration, and she doesn't care if she loses fans over it.
According to Maren Morris, if you supported Donald Trump in his presidential elections, you voted for a "dementia ridden, diaper clad, cornball" and "you got bamboozled."

Country Joe McDonald -- the legendary lead singer and co-founder of 1960s psychedelic folk rock band Country Joe and the Fish, best known for the anti-Vietnam War anthem "I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Woodstock icon died Saturday evening. Details surrounding his death are currently unclear.
McDonald, born Joseph Allen McDonald, became one of the defining voices of the 1960s protest movement. As frontman of Country Joe and the Fish, he helped shape the San Francisco psychedelic scene during rock's most politically charged era.
His 1969 Woodstock performance, which was complete with the crowd-wide "Fish Cheer," remains one of the festival's most unforgettable moments, cementing his place in counterculture history.
It takes a REAL MAN to show his dirty feet to the whole world, but can you guess who he is based on this altered pic?!
All jokes aside, he's an iconic American record producer -- notoriously producing tunes for Justin Bieber, Rihannaand Britney Spears -- and he's married to an icon as well!
Can't keep your "hands to yourself?!" Neither can he!
