Connie Francis -- the legendary singer behind the hit "Pretty Little Baby" -- has been hospitalized in Florida ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell us … the 87-year-old music icon is currently receiving care in a Florida hospital, and while the exact reason for her hospitalization remains unclear, one source tells us she's in the ICU.

We're told Connie has dealt with some orthopedic health issues in recent years. We're told doctors continue to monitor her.

Tate McRae was living it up -- rocking a tiny bikini and soaking in the Saint-Tropez sun as she rang in her birthday in full hot-girl mode.

The singer hit the big 2-2 on Tuesday -- and celebrated in style, lounging on a yacht and looking next level in a blue-and-yellow bikini that showed off her bronzed birthday glow.

Tate made sure all eyes were on her -- flaunting that birthday energy while surrounded by a whole crew of her closest pals, living it up in serious style.

The crew was all about cocktails, ocean dips, and non-stop vibes -- but one thing was missing ... no sign of her main man, The Kid LAROI.

As you can see, Tate’s a summer baby to her core -- not just by birth, but by vibe... minimal shade, maximum skin, and a tan that screams main character.

Diddy was found guilty on two of five counts in his federal trial, which could land him in prison for the next 20 years, and he's not getting out on bail prior to sentencing ... but his team of lawyers are declaring victory.

The music mogul's co-lead attorney Marc Agnifilo said Diddy and the jury system won Wednesday because the jury in his criminal trial found him not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Agnifilo said RICO and sex trafficking trials are like fighting fire-breathing dragons ... and he says Diddy slayed this dragon. He was only found guilty of lesser charges related to prostitution.

We've got one staple of a freak-off outside the courthouse where Diddy just skated on the most serious criminal charges against him ... his fans are lathering themselves up with baby oil -- and it's all on video.

It's pure madness on the streets of Manhattan right now ... a bunch of folks have gathered to celebrate the Diddy trial verdict, and they busted out the baby oil.

One woman's nipples even made an appearance ... with her oiled-up breasts spilling out of her top.

The support for Cassie Ventura has been flowing in since Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of sex trafficking her ... and one star in particular showed her solidarity.

As TMZ reported ... Cassie's lawyer Doug Wigdor said his client “paved the way” for Diddy to be found guilty on counts 3 and 5 -- which are both transportation for the purpose of prostitution, AKA the Mann Act. Diddy faces a maximum sentence of 10 years each for those counts.

And not long after the news broke ... Kesha shared a message via social media, saying ... “Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.”

Lily Allen isn't sugarcoating a thing -- boldly revealing she’s had "quite a few" abortions ... so many, she says, she can’t even remember how many.

Yup, the British singer laid it all out on the latest episode of her 'Miss Me?' podcast -- telling cohost Miquita Oliver that if she really thought about it, the number’s probably around four or five.

The reveal didn’t faze Miquita one bit -- she chimed in saying she’s had around five abortions herself, adding how freeing it felt to say it out loud without anyone there to judge or shoot them down for it.

Sharay Hayes -- the exotic male dancer nicknamed "The Punisher" who testified during Diddy's trial -- says he thinks the jury made the right call on Diddy's verdict ... one he thinks he might have helped them arrive at.

We caught up with Hayes just hours after the jury found Diddy guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution -- which carries a maximum combined 20-year sentence -- but found him not guilty on the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Sharay says he always saw this case through the lens of a toxic relationship filled with domestic violence issues ... but, he didn't think the prosecution's claims of sex trafficking held up.

Joe Tacopina is taking a victory lap at the expense of federal prosecutors ... because he's always said the racketeering and sex trafficking charges against Diddy didn't add up -- and a jury agreed.

The famous defense attorney joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and ripped prosecutors for bringing what he says were trumped-up charges against Diddy.

Joe, who's been banging this drum for months now on our weekly series on Tubi, "TMZ Presents: United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial," says the evidence and testimony never pointed towards racketeering or sex trafficking.

Funk Flex isn't letting Cassie off the hook despite her immunity in Diddy's RICO trial ... considering the "Me & U" singer received a huge payout in exchange for her silence years ago!!!

On Wednesday, the Hot 97 disc jock exploded on Cassie and her attorneys ... picking apart her "victim" label, while also acknowledging she and her family experienced a hardship.

Flex recalls seeing Cassie give off good energy at a young age, but thinks the lines blurred once her relationship with Diddy got underway.

The Diddy case started with prosecutors claiming he was a racketeer and sex trafficker who was blowing up cars and distributing drugs ... but now it's been reduced to transporting prostitutes across state lines -- and his team says that's not enough to keep him locked up before sentencing.

Diddy's legal team just fired off a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian outlining the reasons why they say he should be released from federal custody.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's defense says the jury "unambiguously rejected the government's allegations that Mr. Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise or engaged in sex trafficking -- the core of the government's case."

Diddy had a message for his family after skating on the most serious charges in his criminal trial ... "I'm coming home."

After the not guilty verdicts for racketeering and sex trafficking were read in court Wednesday, Diddy turned around in his seat and nodded to his family and told them he would see them soon.

Diddy's mom, Janice Combs, was seated behind him in the gallery ... along with his three daughters and his sons Christian, Justin and Quincy ... plus Dana Tran, the mother of his youngest child, and a bunch of extended family members.

Diddy's team is preparing for his possible release by ramping up security at his Miami estate, where he would return if he's allowed out while awaiting sentencing … TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … within the last couple of hours, the music mogul's team began making arrangements for his potential return -- including increased security measures at his waterfront estate on the exclusive, guard-gated Star Island.

We’re told security has been beefed up both at his property and at the entrance to the island, as media and paparazzi have already started swarming the area in anticipation of his release.

Billy Ray Cyrus is officially lassoed -- he’s head-over-boots for his GF Elizabeth Hurley and makin' damn sure the whole world hears it!

Check out this IG pic ... Elizabeth turned heads in a sizzling low-cut swimsuit while cruising on a boat -- and while fans were drooling, Billy wasted zero time calling her his "one of a kind young lady."

Elizabeth had Billy on the brain too when she dropped the pic -- she captioned it with lyrics from "Over the Rainbow." Totally fitting, since there’s an actual rainbow over her head and it just so happens to be the couple’s song.

Diddy will still need to wait to receive his sentence ... but, the jury's role in the process is done -- and, they have officially pulled an Elvis and left the building.

Multiple cameramen captured the jury leaving the federal courthouse in Manhattan in a black van with opaque windows, mostly hiding their faces. However, our reporters on the scene assure us these are the 12 people who decided the rap mogul's fate.

The van rolled out past the photogs and over a removable barrier ... before joining the rest of the busy NYC traffic.

12:36 PM PT -- Aubrey took to Instagram with a lengthy statement regarding the Diddy verdict. She clearly doesn't agree with the jurors' decision and says that she is heart broken for Cassie and the other victims.

Diddy's former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day was none too pleased with him being found guilty of only 2 of 5 counts in his federal criminal trial -- to the point where she may need a barf bag!!!

Aubrey was glued to CNN when Diddy was offered some breathing room after learning he wouldn't be sent to prison for life ... a verdict that Aubrey claimed had her tasting vomit, over her sadness for the victims.

Aubrey was optimistic ahead of the trial and voiced heavy support for Cassie and others ... and was in discussion with Homeland Security at one point -- but ultimately didn't testify at the trial.
