The gang's all here!!! Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie, Pharrell! And flashback to Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens hand-in-hand in the desert?!

Before this cute kid rockin' her crop top was performing at Coachella, she was just working at the hair salon and dreaming of the big stage and flashing lights.

She's set to hit the Coachella stage this weekend, as well as Weekend 2 ... There's a good chance she'll jam out to "Pound Town."

While Offset's recovering from the shooting at Florida's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, he's also catching heat over $100K he borrowed from a Detroit casino -- a debt he's trying to square away ... TMZ has learned.

The MotorCity Casino Hotel is suing the rapper, claiming he opened a credit line of $100K with the casino so he could keep a night of gambling fun going back in March 2024.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the casino couldn't get in touch with Offset ... so, it tried to take the money out of his account directly -- as both parties agreed when he opened the credit line -- but, allegedly there wasn't enough money in it to pay off the debt.

Rapper iHeartMemphis was gassed out of his house by multiple law enforcement agencies during a wild situation he live-streamed back in February.

The report states cops and the SWAT unit failed to make contact with Colbert after about an hour of commands outside his home ... some of which you can see in our clip. Police say they knew Colbert heard their commands because he was streaming on Instagram and mocking them ... and that's when cops say they brought their BearCat vehicle.

He said the singer's stardom isn't intimidating, noting ... "She's super nice, like, she's super down to earth."
