Mariah Carey isn't sweating the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame leaving her off its latest induction list ... she straight up says she doesn't care.

We caught up with Mariah outside The Peninsula Hotel in NYC on Monday, where she brushed off the snub without missing a beat. Her take? Who cares! She says give it to somebody else. Safe to say, she's not losing any sleep over it.

Fans were gathered outside her SUV and weren't having it, though ... telling her she deserved the honor and that the Hall disrespected her by not giving it to her. Mariah appreciated the love, thanking them and making it clear she'll always ride for her supporters, saying she loves her fans always.

Zayn Malik is hitting pause on his big comeback because his health just took center stage.

Sources familiar with the situation confirm to TMZ ... the singer has canceled his planned appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" set for Tuesday to promote his new album "Konnakol" ... after a scary hospitalization.

Zayn himself broke the news Friday, posting a photo from a hospital bed and telling fans he was "unexpectedly recovering" after a "long week." He didn't reveal what landed him there, but made it clear it was serious enough to derail his schedule.

Those sky-high Coachella ticket prices are coming in handy -- because festival organizers just got slapped with a pretty hefty curfew bill!

A rep for the city of Indio, where Coachella goes down, tells TMZ ... Weekend 1 stayed on track ... but Weekend 2 racked up $44,000 in fines after Anyma and Justin Bieber's sets ran over.

Friday night saw Anyma go nine minutes past the 1 AM cutoff -- costing organizers $24K. Then Saturday, Bieber pushed things just two minutes over ... but that still tacked on another $20K, bringing the total to $44K.

Singer D4vd has been officially charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas ... but his record label gave him the boot well before, TMZ has learned.

A source with direct knowledge tells us ... Interscope dropped the artist late last year when police said they were eyeing him in the teen's grisly death. The decision was not made public at the time ... because D4vd had not been arrested or charged with a crime. That all changed today.

TMZ previously reported that D4vd had been scrubbed from the label's website.

In addition to Celeste's murder ... D4vd -- born David Anthony Burke -- has also been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and mutilating a body.

When it comes to making music ... family matters to Drake.

The rapper was snapped filming a new music video in Canada Sunday, and it looks like his son, Adonis, will be making a cameo. The 8-year-old was all smiles as he stepped onto set over the weekend.

During the shoot ... the child was caught on camera behind the wheel of a Toronto cop car, filmed sitting in the driver's seat.

Michael Jackson met ... Michael Jackson -- and yeah, it got a little surreal at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards in L.A.!

In a TikTok clip, MJ content creator Fabio Jackson linked up with Jaafar Jackson -- who’s playing his legendary late uncle in the upcoming biopic, "Michael" -- and the moment was equal parts hilarious and uncanny.

Fabio pulled up in full "Thriller" mode, leaning in for a handshake with Jaafar ... who fans clocked in the comments as looking fully caught off guard by the moment.

Cher might be adding “grandma” to her legendary résumé -- and if this long-buried family secret is true, it came with a plot twist straight out of a soap opera.

Former model Kayti Edwards is claiming she dropped a bombshell on the pop icon last year … telling her she shares a daughter with Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman -- a kid Cher allegedly didn’t even know existed for more than a decade.

According to Edwards, who spoke to The Sun, she and Elijah had a brief relationship back in 2010 that resulted in the birth of a daughter named Ever. She claims Elijah always knew about the child, but never stepped up as a full-time dad … allegedly popping in every few years, but keeping his distance from parenting duties.

The Strokes didn’t just rock Coachella -- they lit a political firestorm in the middle of the desert had the crowd doing a double take.

The NYC rockers were cruising through their performance on Saturday like any other big act when things suddenly took a sharp left turn. Frontman Julian Casablancas and co. rolled out a heavy video montage calling out U.S. foreign intervention … and yeah, it got serious fast.

The visuals included a rundown of governments allegedly overthrown by the CIA over the years, mixed with footage of more recent conflicts -- including Israel bombing Gaza and U.S. strikes on Iran -- all playing while the band ripped through “Oblivius,” a track they haven’t performed live since 2016.

Not exactly your typical Coachella vibe of flower crowns and influencer selfies!

Coachella Weekend 2 hit full throttle Saturday with massive crowds, high-energy sets and viral moments taking over the Empire Polo Grounds.

Justin Bieber led the night with one of the festival’s most talked-about performances, returning to the main stage with a guest-heavy set that drew a huge response. His "One Less Lonely Girl" moment spotlighting Billie Eilish quickly made waves online, while SZA, Sexyy Red and Big Sean all joined him onstage throughout the show.

Beyond Bieber, the festival grounds stayed busy across multiple stages, with fans moving between sets from afternoon into late night. As expected, Weekend 2 brought another packed turnout, with attendees filling out the desert for one of the biggest nights of the event.

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!
