Katy Perry could be charged for her alleged sexual assault of Ruby Rose from 16 years ago if investigators find evidence of a crime ... prosecutors in Australia say there's no statute of limitations that prevents bringing the case.

As the world knows, Katy is under police investigation following Ruby's stunning claims the singer sexually assaulted her at a nightclub in Melbourne in 2010. We're told if police investigators find evidence of a crime, they can turn the case over to prosecutors, who can then bring charges against Katy.

Jacqueline Harris, a rep for the Office of Public Prosecution in Victoria, Australia, tells us ... "There is no statute of limitations on prosecuting indictable (serious) crimes in Victoria."
Harris went on ... "The law at the time the alleged offence was committed applies to criminal proceedings and sentencing for historical offences."

Nancy Sinatra is ripping President Donald Trump for blasting her dad’s iconic voice online ... and she’s not holding back.

The 85-year-old singer lit up X this weekend after the POTUS dropped a nearly four-minute clip of her father Frank Sinatra performing “My Way” on Truth Social on Saturday evening … with zero explanation.

“This is a sacrilege,” Nancy fired off … making it clear she’s not here for the unexpected tribute.

Celeste Rivas' family wants justice for their slain teenager ... and, according to their attorney, D4vd's arrest makes them feel they're going to get it.

Patrick Steinfeld -- a lawyer for Rivas' family -- released a statement following the singer's arrest, explaining how the family plans to handle D4vd's possible upcoming court hearings.

Family members plan to exercise their rights under California's Victims' Bill of Rights -- better known as Marsy's Law -- to attend D4vd's arraignment if the D.A. chooses to charge him with murder. They will also attend any press conference the D.A. holds following the arraignment ... and will speak to the media after that. Steinfeld also shared an insight into how the family's feeling ...

Ruby Rose's recent barrage of social media posts isn't the first time she's talked about the night Katy Perry allegedly sexually assaulted her ... she wrote about it in a 2011 essay -- but said at the time nothing bad happened that night.

Back in 2011, the actress wrote an essay for News.com.au -- an Australian publication -- which seemingly referenced the same night she's now saying Perry "rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face."

The outlet says Rose wrote at the time that she lost her "dignity" one night while out with Perry ... deciding to drink just 30 days into sobriety.

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!

Sabrina Carpenter's fans must have thought they were seeing double at Coachella Friday -- but they weren't, 'cause it was Madonna!

That's right ... The "Material Girl" herself popped up onstage with Sabrina near the end of Sabrina's set during the second weekend of Coachella. 

From underneath the stage, Madonna suddenly appeared with her back to the crowd, then launched into her dual performance with Sabrina. The two cranked out a few of Madonna's legendary hits, namely "Vogue" and "Like A Prayer."

Offset was just slapped with a federal lawsuit by a music producer who claims the rapper used his song on his solo album without first getting a deal in place ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, music producer Chase Dalton Rose aka ChaseTheMoney claimed Offset used his song “Worth It” on his second solo album, Set It Off, without an agreement in place with him.

The producer admits he worked on the song with Offset that would have allowed the rapper to record vocals over one of his songs, but said no agreement over compensation and transfer of rights was ever executed. He wants a full accounting and an order forcing Offset to fork over some of the money he made on the song.

Back in March 2025, Offset sued ChaseTheMoney, over the drama in federal court seeking a declaration from the court that Offset fulfilled his end of the deal with the producer.

Danity Kane is throwing cold water on an announcement shared by D. Woods and Aundrea Fimbres that sure made it seem like the group was playing the upcoming L.A. Block Party ... and the pair is getting major shade for the move.

The drama started this week ... when Woods and Fimbres both posted a flyer to IG, showcasing Diddy's most successful "Making The Band" product, Danity Kane, as a major act at the Block Party.

The group's official social accounts just fired back ... and said fans are being duped and it's wrong -- calling the post "false advertising" and "misleading."

According to the band's account ... only Woods and Fimbres are booked for the festival ... Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, and Dawn Richard knew nothing about it -- and they ain't going to be there.

Country music has lost one of its all-time hitmakers -- Don Schlitz, the mastermind behind "The Gambler," has died at 73.

Schlitz died Thursday at a Nashville hospital after a sudden illness ... and the loss is hitting the industry hard. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a legend in the songwriting game.

His catalog reads like a greatest hits playlist. Schlitz wrote smashes for Kenny Rogers (“The Gambler,” “The Greatest”), Randy Travis (“On the Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen”), The Judds, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tanya Tucker and Mary Chapin Carpenter … just to name a few.

8:39 AM PT -- A law enforcement source tells TMZ ... this was an investigative grand jury and not one designed to indict anyone. But why did the LAPD say they were presenting the case to the D.A. on Monday if the D.A. was in charge of the grand jury investigation?

D4vd's arrest was dramatic for sure, but there's something underlying it that screams something is up with the prosecution's case ... it may not be as solid as people think.

The LAPD arrested D4vd late Thursday and quickly put out a statement that they would present the case to the D.A. on Monday. Here's the thing ... the D.A.'s office already had the case ... they had it for months.

Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman has been presenting evidence to an L.A. County Grand Jury since November, and it seemed by all accounts this was more than an investigative grand jury ... it was a grand jury convened to indict D4vd for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas. If the grand jury heard all this evidence, wouldn't it make sense for it to indict?

It's a small world, and Hollywood might be even smaller, 'cause D4vd was posting up at Sandra Bullock's former Hollywood home when he was arrested in connection to the death of Celeste Rivas ... TMZ has learned.

It's unclear how long the singer was laying low at the stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom abode, but according to its Zillow page ... it was listed for rent at $17,500 a month in September 2025, and the listing was removed last month.

As you know, Celeste's decomposing body was found in a Tesla linked to D4vd at the beginning of September. By September 19, he canceled the remaining dates of his tour and basically went incognito ... not making any contact with his fans or public appearances.

Back to Sandra -- she lived in the 1942 bungalow beginning in 2001 when she bought it for a cool $1.48 million. She bought other properties afterward -- including an Orange County escape with ex-husband Jesse James -- but she kept her trusty Hollywood pad until she sold it in 2018 for $2.9 million.

The 3,153 square-foot home offers high-end finishes, including a kitchen with designer finishes, and even a stunning pool and spa setup that offers gorgeous views over Los Angeles.

D4vd was living among some of the biggest stars in the house -- it's located just down the street from Jimmy Kimmel!

We showed you pictures of the luxurious home after D4vd was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department Thursday night ... and video that showed detectives surrounding the property long after the rapper was whisked away to jail, where he's being held without bail.

Our sources tell TMZ the robbery-homicide and gangs and narcotics divisions of the LAPD, plus its K9 unit, were all at the scene.

Interestingly, D4vd has not been indicted by the grand jury reviewing evidence ever since November ... but clearly, law enforcement officials believe they've got a strong case on their hands.

D4vd's lawyers slammed the development, telling TMZ ... "Let us be clear - the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death."

Cher has requested that a temporary conservator be appointed for her son Elijah Blue Allman as she says he's locked up in a psychiatric hospital following a range of financial and legal troubles, and even a medical emergency that required Narcan.

TMZ obtained documents the famous singer submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court Wednesday ... and she lays all of Elijah's troubles bare as she says his life has "significantly deteriorated" since the last time she filed for a conservatorship in 2023.

She details one scary incident during which she says her son was found passed out behind the wheel of his car in traffic ... which resulted in his hospitalization and Narcan -- the life-saving drug used to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses -- being administered.

The Los Angeles Police Department had a busy night Thursday -- they arrested singer D4vd at a Los Angeles rental he was at ... and we've got more footage from the scene.

You can see the luxury home -- just a rock's throw away from the iconic Chateau Marmont -- is buzzing with members of the LAPD even after their colleagues whisked the rapper away to the clink. We're told detectives searched the home for over an hour.

Our sources tell us the robbery-homicide and gangs and narcotics divisions of the LAPD, plus its K9 unit, were present.

You can also see we got close-up photos of the rental home, which still has a "For Lease" sign in its front yard. It might look pretty average from the front, but the place has way more going on than meets the eye. It boasts 4 bedrooms and 3 baths across 3,000 square feet, plus an in-ground pool and hot tub surrounded by a stone patio.

D4vd has officially traded in his luxury Hollywood Hills home for an ugly jail cell.

The 21-year-old singer was booked into the LAPD 77th Street Station Jail at 10:12 PM Thursday after detectives arrested him on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, according to authorities. D4vd is being held without bail.

Members of LAPD's elite robbery homicide unit showed up at D4vd's Hollywood abode Thursday afternoon and escorted him outside to police vehicles.

Meghan Trainor says she bit off more than she could chew with "The Get In Girl" tour ... and now she's pulling the plug on the whole thing, TMZ has learned.

In a statement Thursday the pop star says that she canceled the 33-show tour after "some really tough conversations" ... saying she needs to be "home and present" to focus on her new baby and upcoming album rollout.

She apologized to her fans for the "disappointment," but explained this is the "right decision" for herself and her family. How very "mother" of her!?!

The singer promised in the statement -- which she also posted in full to her Instagram story -- that she'd "be back soon" ... and in the meantime, she can't wait for fans to hear her new album, "Toy With Me."
