An 8-year-old girl belted out an ultra-passionate rendition of the national anthem at a Pacers game earlier this week ... and it was so epic, the team praised it as an "unmatched" performance!

The youngster's name is Kinsley Murray -- and after gaining fame for singing pregame anthems all across the country -- Indiana tapped her to grab the microphone just prior to its tip-off on Monday against the Toronto Raptors.

Murray -- decked out in a red, white and blue dress -- first sang "O Canada" ... before she began her confident version of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Check out video from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse court ... Murray attacked all of the high notes with a whole lot of flare -- and the crowd roared every time.

Afterward, the Pacers took to TikTok to applaud the show.

"The passion. The oufit," the team wrote. "This anthem performance was unmatched."

Murray, though, has been crushing the song long before the NBA world got its glimpse of her this week ... as she's been croonin' at games since she was at least 6 years old!!

In fact, Murray cruised over to the Dayton vs Davidson game the night after her Pacers show ... to wow the crowd in Ohio.

Travis Scott is in a perilous position, with his Brentwood, CA mansion sitting atop a HUGE fissure in the land below.

The crack formed after record-breaking storms saturated the soil in the L.A. area, and the hills of Brentwood were hit particularly hard.

At least 5 homes are in peril of slipping off the hillside, but no evacuations have been ordered ... at least so far.

The Fire Dept. told local residents the cracks are just on the surface -- about 4 feet of topsoil, but obviously with more rain that could change.

Geologists and the L.A. Dept. of Building and Safety are assessing the area, and they're pretty confident the entire hillside won't come down, but that doesn't mean the homes are safe ... especially because more rain is predicted this week.

Travis' $23.5 million home appears safe -- for now -- but when a hillside develops massive cracks, there is always cause for concern.

Travis Scott se encuentra en una posición peligrosa, pues su mansión en Brentwood, California, está sentada sobre una ENORME fisura bajo tierra.

La grieta se formó después de que las históricas tormentas saturaran el suelo en el área de Los Ángeles y las colinas de Brentwood fueron golpeadas particularmente duro.

Al menos 5 casas están en peligro de deslizamiento de la ladera, aunque aún no se han ordenado evacuaciones, al menos por ahora.

El Departamento de Bomberos le dijo a los residentes locales que las grietas están solo en la superficie, alrededor de 4 pies, pero obviamente con más lluvia eso podría cambiar.

Los geólogos y el Departamento de Construcción y Seguridad de Los Ángeles están evaluando la zona y están seguros de que la ladera no se vendrá abajo. Aunque eso no significa que las casas estén seguras, sobre todo porque se prevé más lluvia esta semana.

La casa de 23,5 millones de dólares de Travis parece segura por ahora, pero cuando se producen grandes grietas en una ladera, siempre es motivo de preocupación.

Liam Gallagher says a lot of the people who've been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year don't deserve to be there -- taking aim at hip-hop/ R&B acts specifically.

The singer is nominated along with Oasis this year -- but he slammed the inclusion of artists who have barely dipped their toes into rock territory -- recently telling The Sunday Times, "As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say, do me a favor and f*** off."

LG likened MC's inclusion in the category to tossing him into the rap hall of fame. In his mind, it just doesn't make sense to have non-traditional rock acts in the Hall.

He didn't stop there either ... Liam claims he's done more for rock 'n' roll than "half of them clowns on that board."

In addition to Oasis and Mariah Carey, the other nominees this year include A Tribe Called Quest, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Sinead O'Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane's Addiction, Kool & the Gang and Lenny Kravitz. So, it's definitely not your typical rock 'n' roll lineup, that's for sure!

BTW, this is the second time Liam's vented about the topic  ... he wrote on X earlier this month: "F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG x" -- also telling a fan in the comments not to waste their time voting.

The HOF definitely has mixed it up in recent years when it comes to the types of inductees they usher in. In 2022, Dolly Parton was inducted, and they even got Eminem in there as well ... so yes, they clearly do consider outside genres to be rock and roll.

Liam Gallagher dice que muchos de los nominados al Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll de este año no merecen estar allí, y apunta específicamente a los artistas de hip-hop y R&B. El cantante está nominado junto a Oasis este año, pero criticó la inclusión de artistas que apenas se han sumergido en el mundo del rock.

El cantante está nominado junto a Oasis este año, pero criticó la inclusión de artistas que apenas han tocado el territorio del rock. Recientemente le dijo a The Sunday Times: "Por mucho que me guste Mariah Carey y todo eso, quiero decir, hazme un favor y vete a la mier***".

Liam comparó la inclusión de Mariah en esta categoría con su ingreso al salón de la fama del rap. En su mente, simplemente no tiene sentido incluir actos de rock no tradicionales.

Y no se detuvo ahí... Liam afirma que ha hecho más por el rock 'n' roll que "la mitad de los payasos de esa junta".

Además de Oasis y Mariah Carey, los otros nominados de este año son A Tribe Called Quest, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Sinead O'Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane's Addiction, Kool & the Gang y Lenny Kravitz. Definitivamente, no es el típico cartel de rock 'n' roll, ¡eso está claro!

Esta es la segunda vez que Liam se desahoga sobre el tema, escribió en X a principios de este mes: "F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG x", también le dijo a un fan en los comentarios que no perdiera el tiempo votando.

El evento definitivamente se ha habierto los últimos años cuando se trata de estilos musicales. En 2022, Dolly Parton fue admitida, e incluso metieron a Eminem, así que sí, está claro que consideran géneros ajenos al rock and roll.

La esposa de Kanye West, Bianca Censori, está en el ruedo nuevamente y con eso queremos decir que está de humor para andar desnuda, y esta vez haciendo una declaración de moda entre los franceses.

Bianca y Ye estuvieron en París el martes, donde se está realizando la semana de la moda, y Bianca definitivamente dejó todo al descubierto, al menos de la cintura para abajo, un poco diferente a la forma en la que normalmente anda cuando se desnuda todo para arriba.

No estamos bromeando. Bianca fue de bajo perfil, pero exponiéndose muchísimo a sí misma en este atuendo. Llevaba medias transparentes y, literalmente, nada para abajo, sin ningún tipo de ropa interior.

De hecho, Bianca va completamente desnuda y se puede ver todo.

A Kanye, por supuesto, no parece importarle. Más bien parece que le encanta tenerla arreglada y vestida. Sabemos que Ye ha hecho alarde de su cuerpo muchas veces.

Hemos visto algunos trajes salvajes de Bianca antes, incluyendo un impermeable transparente con nada debajo, pero por alguna razón ... este es más sorprendente.

Recuerden, solo la semana pasada vimos a Kanye y Bianca en Milán pavoneándose en otro evento de moda, por lo que ahora solo se están moviendo alrededor de Europa haciendo lo suyo y posando para las cámaras.

Kanye sigue promocionando su álbum en el extranjero, luego de encontrar dificultades para reservar locales en Estados Unidos. En Europa, parece que es un poco mejor recibido.

Por supuesto, Bianca ha estado al lado de Kanye todo este tiempo, leal y firme.

También ha andado muy, muy desnuda, pero eso es parte del menú ahora. Pareciera un libreto conocido y, sin embargo, sigue impactándonos y sorprendiéndonos.

Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, is at it again -- and by that, we mean she's in the mood to go nude ... and this time, she's making a fashion statement among the French.

Bianca and Ye were out and about Tuesday in Paris, where it's fashion week there ... and where BC was definitely letting it all hang out -- only here, she was doing it below the belt -- a little different than how she normally rolls when she's baring it all upstairs.

We're not kidding, BTW ... Bianca was low-key exposing herself A LOT in this getup. She's got see-through stockings on here ... and literally nothing else underneath, no undies at all.

Indeed, Bianca is going full commando in these pics ... and you can see everything.

Kanye, of course, doesn't seem to mind -- if anything, he appears to love having her dolled up and dressed down ... we know Ye has flaunted her body a number of times online.

We've seen some wild outfits from Bianca before -- including her in a full-blown birthday suit under a freaking raincoat -- but for some reason ... this one kinda takes the cake.

Remember, it was just last week that we saw Kanye and Bianca in Milan strutting their stuff at another fashion event -- so now, they're just hopscotching around Europe again doing their thing and posing for the camera.

Kanye is still promoting his album overseas ... this after finding it difficult to book venues here in the States for the types of listening events he likes to host these days. In Europe, it looks like he's a bit more well-received.

Of course, this entire time ... Bianca has been by Kanye's side, remaining loyal and steadfast.

She's also remained really, really naked -- but that's sorta par for the course now. Feels like we know a little well at this point -- and yet, she continues to shock and surprise us.

Here's to Kanye's favorite "meal" on display for all to see ... cheers.

The photographer that Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, allegedly attacked in Australia this week says he's willing to put this whole thing behind them ... on one condition.

Ben McDonald -- the paparazzo who claimed Scott roughed him up Tuesday as he and Taylor's security team were trying to escort her to a waiting SUV in Sydney -- tells TMZ that all would be forgiven if Papa Swiftie just issued an apology.

If Scott did that ... Ben says he'd accept it and drop all this, letting bygones be bygones.

Of course, Scott doesn't seem inclined to admit he did anything wrong -- remember, a rep for Taylor told us the paps that night were being very aggressive and claimed they were the ones in the wrong ... something Ben here tells us is BS.

He insists the visuals speak for themselves -- and says he suspects the reason Taylor and her team (including her security detail) got so pissy is because they realized paps had figured out where they were after a ride on a yacht. Ben tells us he was just doing his job.

While Ben says the events of that night are well-documented, he does admit that he doesn't have any further proof that Scott punched him -- as he claims -- beyond the videos that are already out there ... including the one he shot himself, and another that has since surfaced.

In both videos, you cannot clearly see what Scott's doing ... but Ben's sticking to his claim that the guy got physical with -- as did Taylor's security guards, whom he alleges used their umbrellas on him. As we reported ... cops are investigating Ben's claims at the moment.

One last point of clarification we got from Ben. It's been reported he was involved in another high-profile pap run-in with none other than Nicole Kidman back in 2005 -- when she was reportedly granted a restraining order against him and another photog over alleged surveillance via a listening device -- but Ben tells us that story is old and sensationalized.

He denies planting any listening device near Nicole at the time ... and also notes that while she might've been granted a temporary protective order, a judge didn't find enough evidence to grant her a permanent one once they took a closer look at her claims.

Incluso los fans de la canción "Texas Hold 'Em" de Beyoncé están comentando su similitud con el tema principal de "Franklin", unos dibujos animados de Canadá, y su cantante Bruce Cockburn le dice a TMZ que no se está atribuyendo ningún crédito sobre su éxito.

Por si no lo sabías, el single country de Beyoncé fue comparado con el tema de "Franklin", poco después de su lanzamiento el 11 de febrero.

Muchos usuarios de TikTok e incluso algunos DJs de radio han insistido en que la canción número # 1 del country tomó prestado mucho de "Franklin", tanto es así, que algunos de los TikTokers están recibiendo más de 5 millones de visitas en sus posts.

Sin embargo, Bruce no cree que Beyoncé tenga que pedir disculpas y le dice a TMZ: "Creo que "Texas Hold 'Em" de Beyoncé es una buena canción. Por desgracia, no puedo decir que haya participado en su composición".

Y añade: "La sensación rítmica es similar a mi tema para la serie de televisión "Franklin", pero para mis oídos, ahí se termina la similitud. "Texas Hold 'Em" es su canción, y le deseo mucho éxito".

¿Quizás Bruce sabe que no debe cruzarse con la BeyHive?

Para los que no conozcan "Franklin", el programa infantil de dibujos animados se emitió en Canadá entre 1997 y 2004. El programa seguía las divertidas aventuras de la tortuga protagonista con sus compañeras del bosque.

Ahora bien, Bey debe haber tenido 16 años cuando se estrenó "Franklin", así que dudamos mucho que conozca la serie infantil, pero con sus coautores podría ser otra historia.

Los 3 compositores acreditados, además de Bey, son Elizabeth Boland, Megan Bulow y Nathan Ferraro y ninguno es de Nashville o Texas.

¡Son canadienses!

Ahora, mantengan la calma un momento... no estamos diciendo que sea una prueba de plagio, pero la conexión con Canadá hace que sea un poco más probable que los compositores escucharan "Franklin" o que se hayan inspirado.

Even fans of Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" are calling it out for its similarity to the "Franklin" cartoon theme sung by Bruce Cockburn ... and while he gets the comparison, he tells TMZ he's making no claim on her hit.

In case you didn't know ... Beyoncé's country single was transposed with the theme for "Franklin" -- a Canadian-produced kids' show -- shortly after it dropped on February 11.

Many TikTok users, and even some radio DJs, insist the country #1 song borrows plenty from "Franklin" -- so much so, some of the TikTokers are getting upwards of 5 million views on their posts.

Yet, Bruce doesn't think Beyoncé needs to lasso up an apology -- he tells TMZ, "I think Beyoncé’s 'Texas Hold 'Em' is a good record. Unfortunately, I can’t claim to have had any part in writing it."

He adds, "The rhythmic feel is similar to my theme song for the 'Franklin' TV series, but to my ears, that’s where the similarity stops. 'Texas Hold 'Em' is her song, and I wish her success with it!"

Perhaps Bruce knows better than to cross the BeyHive?

For those unfamiliar with "Franklin" ... the animated preschool series aired in Canada between 1997 and 2004. The show followed the titular turtle's aminated adventures with his fellow woodland creatures.

Now, Bey would've been 16 when "Franklin" premiered -- so, we highly doubt she's familiar with the kiddo show, however her co-writers on the track might be a different story.

The 3 songwriters credited, in addition to Bey, are Elizabeth Boland, Megan Bulow and Nathan Ferraro ... all of whom are not from Nashville or Texas.

Yup, they're Canadian!

Now, hold your Texas horses ... we're not saying that proves any plagiarism -- but the Canadian connection does make it slightly more likely the songwriters heard "Franklin," and could have been inspired.

Antes de que este niño sonriente se convirtiera en un pez gordo de la industria musical, se dedicaba a sonreír el día de la foto familiar en Virginia, haciendo ritmos y grabando voces en su habitación, ¡con grandes sueños de convertirse en rapero algún día!

Empezó creando canciones para estrellas de la música como Justin Bieber, Katy Perry y Kali Uchis, pero ahora este productor discográfico está creando sus propios éxitos, y basándonos en su feed de Instagram lleno de comida deliciosa, ¡llamarlo un foodie es quedarse corto!

Si necesitas alguna pista más... ¡pregúntale a su novia S.G.!

Before this smiling kiddo turned into a big shot in the music industry, he was just smiling for family picture day in Virginia, makin' beats/recording vocals in his bedroom, with big dreams of becoming a rapper one day!

He started out making tunes for music's hottest stars like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Kali Uchis, but now this record producer is puttin' out his own hits ... And, based on his Instagram feed full of delicious food, calling him a foodie is an understatement!

Need one more clue ... maybe you could ask his girlfriend S.G.!

Diddy's latest accuser is being questioned on several key things after filing a lawsuit full of heavy allegations of sexual misconduct ... but his attorney has all the answers.

Rodney Jones' attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is firing back after people started questioning his client's claims ... with the first being Rodney's allegation that Diddy forced him to watch a video involving Stevie J having sex with another man.

Remember, Stevie J told us earlier today that all the allegations concerning him were totally bogus -- and an adult film star Knockout has since come forward and said he's the man in the now-viral pic from the supposed sex tape and not SJ. So ... what gives, right?

Tyrone tells TMZ the video in question was allegedly provided to Rodney by Diddy himself, and we're told Rodney's sticking to his story that Diddy told him it was Stevie J -- that's what he's alleging anyway.

In terms of who it actually is ... Tyrone says his client only knew what was allegedly relayed to him when it first fell into his lap during his time with Diddy.

Tyrone also offers an explanation over another question that's been raised -- namely, why Rodney made no mention of sexual assault in his GoFundMe page a few weeks before the lawsuit was filed Monday ... where he literally tried to raise funds in an attempt sue Diddy after claiming he screwed out of royalties and publishing rights on Diddy's latest album.

Tyrone tells us, "Victims of sexual assault respond to their trauma in very different ways. There is no uniformity in response to sexual trauma."

He adds ... "Mr. Jones is a father and Christian. He was willing to sacrifice his rights concerning his assault, in an effort to protect his dignity and the dignity of his family. Mr. Combs was made aware of Mr. Jones' claim for assault from the moment Mr. Jones made his intentions to sue clear."

Tyrone explains the main reason Rodney started the GFM was to pay his previous attorney ... who was hired to assist with collecting the publishing and royalties money. Since then, his claims against Diddy have obviously expanded in scope ... and now Tyrone's involved.

Lastly ... Tyrone also addresses speculation that Rodney isn't the man with Cuba Gooding Jr. in a snap that was included in the complaint as purported evidence -- where the actor is allegedly seen cozying up with another dude, which the suit says is Rodney.

Tyrone's straight-up dismissing the conjecture that it ain't Rodney ... 'cause he says it 100% is. He actually claims they've got the video proof to back up their claims here.

Despite some holes people have tried poking in Rodney's narrative -- his attorney is remaining steadfast ... and insisting his client is telling the truth.

Los Eagles podrían sustituir a U2 como el próximo gran grupo en presentarse en la Esfera, es decir, si las negociaciones llegan a buen puerto, TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes directas nos dicen que la icónica banda de rock está en conversaciones para servir potencialmente como el próximo talento en presentarse en el impresionante escenario de Las Vegas.

Se nos dice que, si bien The Eagles están en conversaciones en este momento, un acuerdo no está en su lugar todavía - y no está claro cuándo exactamente las cosas podrían llegar a su fin.

Una cosa que sí sabemos es el calendario que los organizadores tienen en mente para una posible residencia de Don Henley y compañía. Suponiendo que todo funciona estarán presentándose en otoño/invierno.

Eso coincide con la gira de despedida que los Eagles anunciaron el año pasado apodada "The Long Goodbye", que se supone que comenzará en septiembre en Nueva York. Tienen programados varios conciertos por todo el país que durarán hasta mediados de noviembre.

Suponiendo que todo sale bien estaría programado para comenzar a actuar en la esfera en algún momento a finales de noviembre, y probablemente seguiría tocando por ahí durante unos meses.

Bono y los chicos han estado ocupando el espacio de la Esfera desde octubre y sus últimos espectáculos serán este fin de semana, marcando cerca de 4 meses de música.

Por supuesto, las críticas de la Esfera han sido espectaculares y la gente dice que es realmente una de esas cosas que tienes que ver para creer. Por dentro y por fuera.

Una última cosa, los Eagles han estado de gira con una orquesta en vivo últimamente... esperemos que lleguen a tocar de esta manera en la Esfera.

En términos de dinero, no se sabe cuánto ganarían los músicos de "Hotel California", pero se dice que U2 ha estado ganando unos cuatro millones de dólares por concierto.

The Eagles might be stepping in to replace U2 as the Sphere's next big legacy act -- that is, if they can hammer out these negotiations they're currently involved in ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the iconic rock band are in active discussions right now to potentially serve as forthcoming talent to fill in at Sin City's newest music venue ... which would be a big deal, seeing how there's only been one so far in its big debut.

We're told that while The Eagles are in in talks at the moment, a deal isn't in place yet -- and it's unclear when exactly things might get finalized.

One thing we do know is the timeframe organizers have in mind for a would-be residency for Don Henley and co. assuming everything works out ... we're told they're thinking Fall/Winter.

That jibes with the Eagles' farewell tour they announced last year -- dubbed 'The Long Goodbye' -- which is supposed to kick off in September out in NYC. They have a number of shows scheduled all over the country, and those are supposed to run through mid-November.

Assuming this timeline ends up falling into place the way our sources say they might -- it would appear they'd be slated to start performing at the Sphere sometime around late November, and would probably keep on jamming out there for a few months.

Bono and the boys have been occupying the Sphere space since September, and their final shows are going down later this weekend ... marking about 4 months worth of music.

Of course, the reviews for the Sphere have been spectacular ... and people say it's truly one of those things you have to see to believe. Lots of cool visuals going on inside (and out).

One last thing ... the Eagles have been touring with a live orchestra lately -- and while it remains to be seen if something like that would manifest at the Sphere ... it's possible.

In terms of money, no word on how much the 'Hotel California' musicians would snag for something like this ... but U2 is said to have been raking in about $4 million a concert.

Adele's putting her iconic voice on ice due to illness, and that means ticketholders for any of her next 5 weekends -- the last for this leg of her Las Vegas run -- will have to change their travel plans.

The singer announced Tuesday afternoon she's officially pausing her Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace at the behest of her doctors. She says, "I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break. I hadn't quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I'm sick again, and unfortunately it's all taken a toll on my voice."

It's clear she's been battling health issues ... last Thursday she was out in rainy Beverly Hills wearing a facemask -- and while she still managed to perform this past weekend in Vegas, she told the audience she was struggling to hit her "head notes properly" because her "chest is on fire."

Adele's full run at Caesars was scheduled to end the weekend of June 14 -- but it's unclear what the postponement will mean for fans. She's supposed to start a series of shows in Germany after Vegas.

As of now the postponed Vegas dates are all 5 weekends in March, and she says ticketholders will be sent info on rescheduling ASAP.
