Justin Bieber locked in on Billie Eilish and delivered the moment everyone's talking about at Coachella Weekend 2 ... serenading the pop star mid-set and sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Bieber launched into "One Less Lonely Girl" and made Eilish the clear focus, turning the performance into a full circle scene between the global superstar and one of his most famous fans.

SZA joined him under the desert lights for a sultry "Snooze" duet, while Sexyy Red injected high energy into "Sweet Spot." Big Sean kept the momentum going, hopping in for "As Long As You Love Me" and "No Pressure," giving the set a rapid-fire hit streak.

Karol G's looks over the years are turning up the heat 🔥!

Here is a 25-year-old version of the Colombian singer and songwriter dropping her hot looks at Music Choice in New York City back in 2016 (left).

And, a decade later, Karol just gets better with age -- just take a look at her show-stopping Coachella look (right).

We know she turns up with her fire setlist, but the question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Sorry, One Direction fans ... a reunion seems ever less likely to happen -- because a new report claims Zayn Malik slugged Louis Tomlinson.

The Sun laid out the alleged altercation in an article posted late Friday ... claiming the fight went down during the filming of a new Netflix reality show which was supposed to focus on the pair bonding on a road trip.

The outlet says sources told them the fight was triggered when Malik made a crack about Tomlinson's mom ... who died of cancer in 2016 -- not the kind of quip friendships usually come back from.

Sabrina Carpenter brought Geena Davis and Terry Crews to Coachella ... but, the biggest collab of the day might've been Fakemink with former First Son Hunter Biden!

The England native grabbed a pic with President Joe Biden's second child ... while holding what appears to be a joint in his left hand.

Fakemink threw up a peace sign while Biden slung his right arm over the rapper's shoulder and flashed a toothy grin for the camera.

Madonna was in full "Holiday" mode at Coachella Friday night ... letting loose and dancing the night away with her boyfriend, Akeem Morris.

Check it out -- fans spotted her dancing like no one was watching at Anyma's main stage set ... groovin' to the beat from her head to her toes.

She exuded much different energy from 29-year-old Akeem. While the "Material Girl" hitmaker was having the time of her life, her better half was much more subdued as he stood in place and nodded his head to the music. They do say opposites attract!

Coachella Weekend 2 gets a bad rap ... with some thinking it's not as exciting as the first entry -- but, Sabrina Carpenter and French Montana certainly did their best to change that narrative on the first night of the final weekend.

Tons of fans flocked to Coachella Valley for the second weekend of SoCal's biggest music festival ... and they got a slightly different -- but still lit -- experience than the previous group got.

First off, Carpenter -- who, as we told you, rocked the stage with Madonna -- brought even more star power with her for her headlining show ... swapping out cameos of Susan Sarandon and Will Ferrell for Geena Davis and Terry Crews.

Ice Spice may have just pounded down a fan like she was a patty from McDonald's ... but she's seemingly not too worried about the shocking smackdown -- even joking about it by bringing Wendy's into the drama!

The "Big Guy" hitmaker hopped on X Friday night and responded to the security footage TMZ obtained, showing her early Wednesday morning fight at a McDonald's eatery with a simple "this wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s." Looks like we know where to find her from now on!

TMZ has learned Spice called out Wendy's for a reason ... sources tell us Spice was in L.A. to shoot a commercial for Wendy’s!

Sabrina Carpenter's fans must have thought they were seeing double at Coachella Friday -- but they weren't, 'cause it was Madonna!

That's right ... The "Material Girl" herself popped up onstage with Sabrina near the end of Sabrina's set during the second weekend of Coachella. 

From underneath the stage, Madonna suddenly appeared with her back to the crowd, then launched into her dual performance with Sabrina. The two cranked out a few of Madonna's legendary hits, namely "Vogue" and "Like A Prayer."

Offset was just slapped with a federal lawsuit by a music producer who claims the rapper used his song on his solo album without first getting a deal in place ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, music producer Chase Dalton Rose aka ChaseTheMoney claimed Offset used his song “Worth It” on his second solo album, Set It Off, without an agreement in place with him.

The producer admits he worked on the song with Offset that would have allowed the rapper to record vocals over one of his songs, but said no agreement over compensation and transfer of rights was ever executed. He wants a full accounting and an order forcing Offset to fork over some of the money he made on the song.

Back in March 2025, Offset sued ChaseTheMoney, over the drama in federal court seeking a declaration from the court that Offset fulfilled his end of the deal with the producer.

Sabrina Carpenter knows how to fill a desert, but can you dig up the minor differences made to these two Coachella photos?!

Carpenter carved out some time in her busy schedule to rock out at Coachella 2026 -- here she is with her hands in the air like she just don't care! If you feel like you're coming up short, just take a look at her stage style 😉!

RECORDING session starts now!

The LAPD was frustrated at the L.A. County D.A. for not filing murder charges against singer D4vd for the death of Celeste Rivas ... so they literally took the law into their own hands, this according to sources connected to the case.

Mark Geragos, cohost of the "2 Angry Men" podcast, told Harvey he has spoken with people high up in the D.A.'s Office who say they were not ready to charge D4vd, but the LAPD was sick of waiting, believing there was more than enough evidence.

Geragos says the D.A. didn't have its ducks in a row and wanted more time, but the LAPD wanted to force the D.A.'s hand by making the arrest. If the D.A. doesn't file charges by Monday, authorities have to set D4vd free, which is not a great look for prosecutors. Geragos says the LAPD is banking on the D.A. filing charges quickly to avoid the embarrassment.

A former homicide prosecutor in California says the severe decomposition of Celeste Rivas' body shouldn't be a huge hurdle in the murder case against D4vd.

Matt Murphy, who prosecuted murder cases for 2 decades down in Orange County, joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and -- based on that experience -- added his 2 cents on D4vd's arrest.

The critical piece of evidence is Celeste's manner of death ... and a high-ranking LAPD source told us the L.A. County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.

D4vd's arrest Thursday came 7 months after Celeste's chopped up and decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla ... and a source connected to the M.E. previously told us they had trouble determining the manner of death because of the state of the body when it was found.

Danity Kane is throwing cold water on an announcement shared by D. Woods and Aundrea Fimbres that sure made it seem like the group was playing the upcoming L.A. Block Party ... and the pair is getting major shade for the move.

The drama started this week ... when Woods and Fimbres both posted a flyer to IG, showcasing Diddy's most successful "Making The Band" product, Danity Kane, as a major act at the Block Party.

The group's official social accounts just fired back ... and said fans are being duped and it's wrong -- calling the post "false advertising" and "misleading."

According to the band's account ... only Woods and Fimbres are booked for the festival ... Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, and Dawn Richard knew nothing about it -- and they ain't going to be there.

Country music has lost one of its all-time hitmakers -- Don Schlitz, the mastermind behind "The Gambler," has died at 73.

Schlitz died Thursday at a Nashville hospital after a sudden illness ... and the loss is hitting the industry hard. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a legend in the songwriting game.

His catalog reads like a greatest hits playlist. Schlitz wrote smashes for Kenny Rogers (“The Gambler,” “The Greatest”), Randy Travis (“On the Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen”), The Judds, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tanya Tucker and Mary Chapin Carpenter … just to name a few.

8:39 AM PT -- A law enforcement source tells TMZ ... this was an investigative grand jury and not one designed to indict anyone. But why did the LAPD say they were presenting the case to the D.A. on Monday if the D.A. was in charge of the grand jury investigation?

D4vd's arrest was dramatic for sure, but there's something underlying it that screams something is up with the prosecution's case ... it may not be as solid as people think.

The LAPD arrested D4vd late Thursday and quickly put out a statement that they would present the case to the D.A. on Monday. Here's the thing ... the D.A.'s office already had the case ... they had it for months.

Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman has been presenting evidence to an L.A. County Grand Jury since November, and it seemed by all accounts this was more than an investigative grand jury ... it was a grand jury convened to indict D4vd for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas. If the grand jury heard all this evidence, wouldn't it make sense for it to indict?

Cher has requested that a temporary conservator be appointed for her son Elijah Blue Allman as she says he's locked up in a psychiatric hospital following a range of financial and legal troubles, and even a medical emergency that required Narcan.

TMZ obtained documents the famous singer submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court Wednesday ... and she lays all of Elijah's troubles bare as she says his life has "significantly deteriorated" since the last time she filed for a conservatorship in 2023.

She details one scary incident during which she says her son was found passed out behind the wheel of his car in traffic ... which resulted in his hospitalization and Narcan -- the life-saving drug used to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses -- being administered.
