Gwen Stefani y el resto de los miembros de No Doubt se reunirán de nuevo después de un buen tiempo, y lo harán en el desierto como cabezas de cartel de Coachella, nada menos.

La alineación para el festival anual de música acaba de caer, y mientras hay tres grandes actos programados para actuar viernes y domingo durante dos fines de semana diferentes ... parece que Gwen y compañía serán el plato fuerte de la noche, porque los contrataron como cabezas de cartel.

Goldenvoice tiene a Lana Del Rey actuando el viernes 12 de abril y el 19; Tyler the Creator se encargará de las funciones de cabeza de cartel el sábado 13 de abril y el 20; y Doja Cat lo hará el domingo.

Pero, echa un vistazo a la parte inferior de este cartel, sólo se lee ... "Y ... No Doubt". Una vez más, no hay claridad sobre lo que eso significa o qué día la banda podría hacer lo suyo... es un misterio.

Curiosamente, la banda se burló de esto alrededor de una hora antes de que Coachella hiciera el anuncio, burlándose del hecho de que estaban ansiosos por reunirse de nuevo y "hacer un show". Es un clip divertido y algo producido que muestra a Gwen, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont y Adrian Young en un chat de grupo, y luego, se pasan Zoom donde dieron vueltas a la idea de actuar.

Como resulta, que van a hacer un chapoteo con su gran concierto de regreso - golpear el escenario en posiblemente la plataforma más grande en la música ... actuando frente a miles de personas.

No Doubt no ha actuado como grupo en un buen tiempo, de hecho, la última vez que subieron al escenario juntos fue en 2015 durante el Global Citizen Earth Day Concert de ese año en D.C. Desde entonces, realmente no han rockeado todos juntos.

Gwen Stefani and the rest of the members of No Doubt are getting together again after a good long while -- and they're it in the desert ... headlining Coachella, no less.

The lineup for the annual music festival just dropped, and while there are 3 big acts slated to perform Fri-Sun on 2 different weekends ... it looks like Gwen and co. will be the real talent -- 'cause they're being listed as a general, all-around headliner ... with no specific dates.

Goldenvoice has Lana Del Rey performing on Friday April 12th and 19th; Tyler the Creator will handle headlining duties on Saturday April 13th and 20th; and Doja Cat will do Sunday.

But, take a look at the bottom of this poster, it just reads ... "And ... No Doubt." Again, no clarity on what that means or which day the band might do their thing -- it's a mystery.

Funny enough, ND actually teased this about an hour before Coachella dropped the lineup -- teasing the fact they were itching to get together again and "do a show." It's a fun, somewhat produced clip that features Gwen, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young hopping onto a group chat and then a Zoom ... where they kicked around the idea of performing.

As it turns out, they're gonna be making a splash with their big comeback gig -- hitting the stage on possibly the biggest platform in music ... performing in front of thousands of people.

No Doubt hasn't performed as a group in a while -- in fact, the last time they hit the stage together in an official capacity was in 2015 during that year's Global Citizen Earth Day Concert in D.C. Since then, they haven't really rocked out as a unit.

Now, fans will get a chance to see 'em live ... and get underneath it all in person. Sweet!

Katt Williams is on the verge of reminding Ludacris that he also raps ... 'cause he's out here responding to him with bars of his own, spittin' to none other than Suge Knight himself.

Suge and Dave Mays dropped their latest 'Collect Call' podcast episode Tuesday ... with a first-ever preview of Katt's acidic words -- a direct response to the freestyle Luda kicked to combat the viral "Club Shay Shay" interview.

Katt's ether opens with a voiceover of Mike Epps admitting being jealous of not being mentioned in the viral "Club Shay Shay" interview.

Katt then lyrically lunges at Luda's jugular using metaphors that relate to him ... "Move Bitch," "Fast & Furious" -- the biggest burn just may be Katt called out Luda for NOT saying he was lying.

Remember, Katt dissed Luda first by (joking?) that the Atlanta rapper joined the Illuminati only to be rewarded with a wide-faced, light-skinned wife.

Katt is the first guest on "Collect Call" and he and Suge shared their unique origin story, ironically centered around their mutual love for Tupac Shakur.

Rick Ross' bankroll reigns supreme ... just ask the club joker who thought it was a good idea to throw a fistful of money in the Bawse's face.

The superstar rapper recently took the stage for an appearance at E11EVEN Miami nightclub, and an overeager fan dared to deck him in the face with several bills.

A cool, calm and collected Rozay paused during his Friday night performance ... before whacking the guy with a money stack 3x the size of what he'd foolishly hurled at Rick.

The best part might be the sight of Rick walking off with a million-dollar grin.

The fan was a good sport about it -- not like he had any choice, he started it and RR finished it.

Mark Spratley, Jacob Kohn and Doctor Garmentz -- the guys responsible for making the clips go viral -- tell TMZ Hip Hop there was no drama in the club afterward, and Rozay composed himself like a boss should.

Charlamagne Tha God's year-long search for a new 'Breakfast Club' cohost has come up empty ... and he says he's fed up!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with CTG Tuesday in NYC outside iHeartRadio, and we desperately tried to get some clarity on who's gonna fill the seat vacated by Angela Yee over 2 years ago.

Turns out Charlamagne's searching for the same thing ... and if he has any answers, he ain't ready to give 'em up!

The radio show played musical chairs with loads of rotating guests last year ... Claudia Jordan, Jason Lee, Loren LoRosa, and several more -- but comedienne Jess Hilarious emerged as the frontrunner, and, on Christmas Eve, even claimed she won the job.

Weeks later, Jess hasn't been on the show ... and CTG tells us that he has no idea where she is. Interestingly, he also did not validate her announcement.

Michael Lohan está criticando la nueva película "Mean Girls" por revivir un golpe bajo del pasado de su hija, Lindsay Lohan, diciendo que Tina Fey y Megan Thee Stallion fueron muy bajas, igual que sus números en taquilla.

El padre de Lindsay le dice a TMZ que está enjado por el "comentario repugnante" en el reboot, pero que encuentra algo de consuelo en los números de apertura de la película, que fueron mucho más bajos que el fin de semana del debut de la original en aquel entonces.

Michael está hablando de la frase de Megan "la entrepierna de fuego está de vuelta" en la nueva película, que hace referencia a un famoso clip de TMZ de 2006, cuando el amigo heredero de Paris Hilton, Brandon Davis llamó a LiLo "entrepierna de fuego" varias veces en cámara.

El padre de Lindsay también está señalando el hecho de que el nuevo musical "Mean Girls" haga 28 millones de dólares en taquilla el fin de semana de estreno es simplemente karma.

La versión original hizo 24.4 millones de dólares durante su fin de semana de apertura en 2004, no está mal cuando pensamos en la inflación. Para los estándares de hoy en día, estaría más cerca de los $40 millones, por no hablar de los $86 millones que recaudó a nivel nacional a través de su carrera teatral.

Básicamente, el padre está apostando a que la nueva "Mean Girls" no se comparará con la versión original de su hija en tereminos de recaudación. Michael también nos dice que nunca vería la nueva "Mean Girls", y mientras él dice que le encantaría aplaudir a Megan, Brandon y Tina, nos dice que está tomando el camino correcto al no involucrarse.

El padre de Lindsay añade: "Voy a decir esto, NADIE puede reemplazar a Lindsay o al elenco original en esa película. Megan tampoco puede reemplazar a Lindsay en el nuevo anuncio de Planet Fitness vestida como una stripper en un anuncio".

Por supuesto, se refiere al hecho de que Lindsay hizo algunos anuncios hace unos años, y ahora, Megan los está haciendo también. El asunto es que parece estar  dando los mismos pasos de Lindsay, pero sin el mismo talento.

En pocas palabras para Michael... alejarse de su hijo, porque él está listo para atacar en su defensa.

Michael Lohan is ripping the new 'Mean Girls' movie for taking a cheap shot at his daughter, Lindsay Lohan ... saying Tina Fey and Megan Thee Stallion went low, just like their box office numbers.

Lindsay's dad tells TMZ ... he's straight-up "pissed" over the "disgusting comment" in the reboot ... but he's finding some solace in the flick's opening numbers, which were far lower than the OG's debut weekend way back when.

Michael's talking about Megan's "fire crotch is back" line in the new movie ... which references a famous TMZ clip from way back in 2006, when Paris Hilton's oil heir buddy Brandon Davis called LiLo a "fire crotch" multiple times on camera.

Lindsay's dad is also pointing at the fact the new 'Mean Girls' musical made $28 million at the box office opening weekend as a bit of karma.

The original version made $24.4 million on its opening weekend in 2004 -- and while that's lower ... it's actually not bad when adjusted for inflation. By today's standards, it'd be closer to $40 million ... not to mention the $86 mil it grossed domestically through its theatrical run.

Basically, ML is betting the new 'Mean Girls' won't hold a candle to his daughter's initial take on it when it's all said and done. Michael also tells us he would never see the new 'Mean Girls' ... and while he says he'd love to clap back at Megan, Brandon and Tina, specifically ... he tells us he's taking the high road and not getting in the gutter with them.

Lindsay's father adds ... "I will say this however, NOBODY can replace Lindsay or the original cast in that film. Nor can Megan replace Lindsay in the new Planet Fitness commercial dressed like a stripper in a fitness commercial."

Of course, what he's referring to there is the fact that Lindsay did some PF commercials a few years ago ... and now, MTS is doing them as well -- the implication being, she's kinda riding Lindsay's coattails, and not doing it nearly as well as she did.

Bottom line for Michael ... back off from his kid, 'cause he's ready to pounce in her defense.

It appears IShowSpeed needs to brush up on his K-pop knowledge ... 'cause the popular gamer and YouTuber recently referred to Stray Kids member Bang Chan as "BTS" -- and the whole awkward moment played out in front of thousands of viewers.

18-year-old Speed -- who has tens of millions of followers across all platforms -- was scrolling through videos on his phone as his loyal fanbase tuned in to the stream earlier this week ... when he stumbled upon a clip of the popular group's leader discussing his admiration for the internet superstar.

"Speed is so funny," Chan said in the vid ... adding he has "mad respect for him."

"I feel like the effort he puts out to what he does is just phenomenal. I think it's just really, really cool."

Chan even revealed he watches Speed's vids with fellow groupmate Felix "all the time."

Speed was understandably pumped about the shoutout ... and asked those watching if Chan was a member of BTS before tracking down his Instagram page.

Speed then slid into the DMs ... leaving him a personal video as a "thank you" for the kind words.

"Yo brother Bang Chan, BTS, bro. I just seen the video that said you was a big fan of me, bro," Speed said ... also including some words of encouragement to "keep grinding."

Despite several people in the chat trying to correct Speed on his flub -- and the fact Chan clearly lists "Stray Kids" in his bio -- it was too late ... and he hit "send" on the video message.

STAY (the group's fanbase) quickly got wind of the mistake ... making jokes about Speed's confusion and how Chan would react to it.

Others didn't take it lightly ... pointing out the fact Speed assumed Chan was a member of BTS could be considered racist.

While BTS is undoubtedly the most famous male K-pop group to crack into massive mainstream success in the States, Stray Kids has gained momentum in their own right ... even performing at the Billboard Music Awards in November.

Rick Ross' new two-month-old daughter subtlely made her IG debut this week -- only to have the spot blown up by the rap kingpin's new GF ... who might have overstepped her boundaries a bit.

Model Cierra Nichole made a post introducing their daughter Au’mei Moon Roberts ... with Rozay sharing in the congratulations for the bundle of joy by liking the news on Hollywood Unlocked.

All appeared to be well until Cristina Mackey -- Rozay's current gf -- reposted the pic, gushing over how beautiful the baby was.

Cierra didn't approve and let Cristina have it ... "stranger danger" never sounds good when it's hurled in your direction! BTW, Cristina seems to have gotten the message loud and clear, 'cause she deleted the baby post.

Now, Cristina's been spotted on RR's arm for weeks, and has quickly grown familiar to fans ... for rubbing them the wrong way with frequent posts of her lavish lifestyle, and she's even discussed their relationship in interviews.

She's been catching a little heat for flaunting her lifestyle with Rick -- but her response to the haters is they'd be stupid not to post all the jet-setting and sightseeing they do.

Looks like she got checked, though on the baby boundaries.

Drake is responding to Yasiin Bey's backhanded compliments hilariously -- with a taste of the legendary MC's own medicine: his own lyrical content!!!

On Tuesday, Drake referenced the rapper previously known as Mos Def's marquee track "Umi Says" ... a direct response to Mos' recent dig that Drake's music is crafted for the common practices of American society: shopping at Target!!!

The significance of Drake's selection is 'Umi' is a very positive track that encourages people to spread love/light ... kinda the opposite of what Mos did.

Drake also posted a famous clip of an interview Method Man once did where he explained what hip hop was ... and his definition is much less gate-keeper-ish than MD's.

Drizzy captioned it ... "What umi say again? Lemme shine my light king don't change up now" and added a 😂 emoji to highlight the fact he wasn't really sweatin' YB's comments.

The "Black On Both Sides" rapper said what he said ... Drake's tunes are, according to him, akin to the pop realms as opposed to the hip hop ones, and even suggested we might be seeing the last days of the OVO reign.

Drake seems to be suggesting he absolutely is hip hop, and there's room for all.

So, we gotta ask ...

Snoop Dogg's ad for smokeless fire pits totally won the internet last year ... but the company that hired him says they won nada and their 4th quarter tanked as a result!!!

Solo Stove, the company behind the clever spot that teased the end of Snoop's days of blazin', fired its CEO after it fell short of its $520-$540 million yearly revenue stream ... sounds like they were banking on Snoop to save their asses!!!

The outgoing CEO John Marris tells The Daily that Snoop brought them 60k new followers after his spot dropped and data shows the ad ranked high with just a few weeks to live in the public eye.

2024 projections have been adjusted for Solo Stove -- the incoming CEO only has to clear $490 million and $500 million ... which probably won't be coming from rap fans; they were there to be entertained by the D-O double G, nothing else!!!

Snoop's also onboard to cover the 2024 Summer Olympics for NBC. Ya gotta wonder ... what's gonna happen to the execs when he earns higher ratings than the games?!? 🥴

Drake dice que la última vez que a su padre, Dennis Graham, le permitieron entrar a Canadá, su carrera como cantante estaba despegando. Pero después de una espera de 15 años, ¡¡¡está feliz de decir que su papá está en casa nuevamente!!!

Drake saltó a su cuenta de Instagram el lunes por la noche para presumir que sus padres estaban bajo el mismo techo en suelo canadiense, todo un hito. La estrella escribió: "Primera vez en más de 15 años que dejan que el OG (la leyenda) entre de nuevo en Canadá gracias a todos los que nos ayudaron a llevarlo a cabo @therealdennisg".

En otro post, Dennis fue visto en modo abuelo con Adonis, el hijo de 6 años de Drake. Ambos comieron unas tostadas durante el desayuno y tomaron un poco de jugo, ¡lo que sin duda hace que la escuela sea mucho más agradable!

Ya sea que esté físicamente allí o no, Dennis Graham siempre quiere lo mejor para su familia. El hombre compartió algunos de sus consejos paternales recientemente, cuando nos dijo que era prudente que Drake se mantuviera al margen de los debates en línea sobre la guerra entre Israel y Hamás.

Drake tiene que estar disfrutando de este tiempo en familia. Él y J. Cole están listos para embarcarse en su gira "It's All a Blur -- Big As The What?".

Drake says the last time his pops, Dennis Graham, was allowed in Canada ... Drake's career was just taking off, but after a 15-year wait ... he's happy to say daddy's home!!!

Drake hopped on IG Monday night to boast both of his parents were together under one roof on Canadian soil ... quite the milestone. He said, "First time in over 15 years they let the OG back into Canada thank you to everyone that helped us out @therealdennisg."

In a separate flick, Dennis was seen diving right into grandfather mode with Drake's 6-year-old son Adonis ... a little breakfast toast makes school that much more enjoyable!!!

Whether or not he's physically there, DG always wants the best for his fam. He shared some of his fatherly advice recently, when he told us it was wise for Drake to stay out of online debates surrounding the Israel-Hamas war.

Drake's gotta be soaking up this family time -- he and J. Cole are set to embark on their "It's All a Blur -- Big As The What?" tour.

Diddy and alcohol giant Diageo were ensnarled in a nasty legal battle last year -- but that's old news now ... 'cause TMZ can confirm both parties have buried the hatchet.

Both Diddy and Diageo tell TMZ simultaneously ... "Sean Combs and Diageo have now agreed to resolve all disputes between them. Mr. Combs has withdrawn all of his allegations about Diageo and will voluntarily dismiss his lawsuits against Diageo with prejudice."

The statement continues ... Diageo and Mr. Combs have no ongoing business relationship, either with respect to Cîroc vodka or DeLeón tequila, which Diageo now solely owns."

The Bad Boy music mogul sued the company last year -- accusing them of racism for allegedly neglecting his tequila line, DeLeón Tequila. Diddy claimed Diageo put this booze on the backburner, and alleged there were racist intentions behind it.

Diageo, of course, denied that ... and said they'd tried dealing with this behind closed doors -- but once Diddy opened the legal floodgates, they were ready to defend themselves.

This case has been playing out quietly behind the scenes, but now ... it's suddenly over. Diddy's withdrawing his lawsuit against Diageo -- and while there's no mention of it explicitly ... this certainly smells like a settlement of some sort.

Diddy y el gigante del alcohol Diageo se vieron envueltos en una desagradable batalla legal el año pasado, pero eso ya es parte del pasado porque TMZ puede confirmar que ambas partes han decidido enterrar la pelea.

Tanto Diddy como Diageo le dicen a TMZ simultáneamente: "Sean Combs y Diageo han acordado resolver todas las disputas entre ellos. El Sr. Combs ha retirado todas sus acusaciones sobre Diageo y desestimará voluntariamente sus demandas con prejuicio".

El comunicado continúa: "Diageo y el Sr. Combs no tienen ninguna relación comercial en curso, ni con respecto al vodka Cîroc ni al tequila DeLeón, que ahora Diageo posee exclusivamente".

El magnate de la música Bad Boy demandó a la empresa el año pasado, tras acusarla de racismo por descuidar supuestamente su línea de tequila, DeLeón. Diddy afirmó que Diageo dejó la bebida de lado y alegó que había intenciones racistas detrás de ello.

Diageo, por supuesto, lo negó y dijo que habían tratado de hacer frente a esto a puertas cerradas, pero una vez que Diddy abrió las compuertas legales, estaban dispuestos a defenderse de vuelta.

Este caso se había estado desarrollando en silencio entre bastidores y ahora repentinamente se acabó. Diddy ha retirado su demanda contra Diageo y aunque no se menciona explícitamente, esto sin duda huele a un acuerdo de algún tipo.

Matthew Perry was top of mind during the Emmys' in memoriam as they honored fallen stars over the year -- and you could tell by the music they chose to close out the segment.

The late actor was highlighted in Monday night's show, being selected as the last person to appear on-screen during Charlie Puth's stripped-down piano performance ... who started out by singing "See You Again" to pay tribute to several television stars who've recently died.

Eventually, he segued into the "Friends" theme as they started to get to the last group of celebrities they wanted to mention ... including Len Goodman, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Kirstie Alley, Irene Cara, Andre Braugher and eventually ... Perry himself.

Like we said, he was literally the last celeb to appear -- and it fell right in line with CP singing the closing lines of "'Cause you're there for me too." Yep, it was emotional.

You could hear the crowd cheering here too ... a testament to how big his loss was.
