Martinez tells us a fan reported last night that someone had stolen flowers from the star and scratched it up.

Famous Dex had the cop arresting him sounding more like a fan ... with the officer marveling over Dex's Las Vegas show before the two actually fist-bumped.

TMZ obtained body cam footage from Dex's August 23 domestic battery arrest, and things get surprisingly chummy when the rapper tells the officer he was supposed to perform that night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

"Bro, you're performing at the Grand Arena?" the cop asks, sounding impressed.

Alanis Morissette claims she is the victim of a “calculated blackmail campaign” orchestrated by her former tour manager ... TMZ has learned.

Celine Dion's singing voice was lifted by the power of love she felt from her fans in Paris ... because she put on a little show for her supporters in the middle of the street.

Celine gestured to her supporters and pointed out to the crowd as she stood in front of the audience and swayed back and forth.

Rick Springfield may be 77 ... but it turns out the 80s icon is just as ripped as ever!

Rick hit the stage for a show at the Palms casino and resort in Las Vegas ... where he stripped off his shirt and played his hit "Jessie's Girl." 

It's pretty wild ... the guy is insanely jacked, especially for a man pushing 80 years old.

In his new filing, Chris said he’s a little busy with his nationwide tour … and said there are even talks to extend the tour with additional dates.

Ariana Grande is ditching her signature heels for the final stretch of her tour ... after suffering a painful foot injury.

Ari told fans Monday she'll be in "cozy footwear" for her London show -- and possibly Tuesday's finale -- because she's recovering from a deep cut underneath her foot.

She says it's not a sprain or muscular injury, but putting weight on the foot has been tough ... so the heels are staying backstage.

Ella Langley appears to be taking Doja Cat's apparent brush-off in stride ... turning the pop star's own words into a cheeky joke in her latest social media post.

Langley shared a batch of new photos and videos this week and seemingly couldn't resist referencing Doja's recent comments about her ... writing "Ella Langley? What is that?" in the caption.

The line appears to be a direct nod to Doja's recent appearance on the "Sundae Conversation" podcast, where she was asked whether she knew Langley. Doja responded that she didn't know what that was ... prompting the hosts to encourage her to check out the country singer's music.

Olivia Rodrigo's first-ever music festival ended with a major surprise ... Stevie Nicks joined her onstage, while a massive donation pushed the event's fundraising total to $20 million.

Harry Styles did some "Late Night Talking" at his Madison Square Garden tour stop ... about none other than his ex Taylor Swift's wedding.

Saturday was Night Three of Harry's cool 30 show run at MSG, but the touring tycoon was so humble on stage he had to shout out the other iconic events at the garden like the Knicks taking the 2026 NBA championship ring ... and his most famous ex-GF getting an 8 to 10-carat antique wedding ring from her new hubby Travis Kelce.

You can hear the crowd go absolutely wild at even the not-so-subtle reference to TS ... because as Swifties and non-Swifties alike know, the pair briefly dated in 2012 with many believing her 2014 hit "Style" was about their relationship.

Tim McGraw hit the stage in Cincinnati, Ohio, this week -- and we do mean hit the stage!!!

Check out the video, people ... the country music star is belting out one of his famous tunes, "I Like It, I Love It," at Riverbend Music Center on Thursday night, when his cowboy boot got stuck in a crevice and he fell on his ass to the floor.

But Tim didn't let it bother him at all ... He cracked a big smile and jumped back onto his spurs before his guitarist gave him a little pat on the back. Tim didn't miss a beat either, picking up where he left off with the song.
