Pounds of movie makeup couldn't mask the awkwardness in this interaction ... when Bad Bunny gave Kris Jenner a super weird side hug at the Met Gala!

New video has emerged online capturing the quick greeting between the pop star and the momager Monday night ... with Bunny not breaking stride -- or, more accurately, limp -- as he walked up to Kris and Kim Kardashian in his old man getup.

BB wraps his right arm around Kris in a quick embrace ... before basically using her like a stripper pole to spin around and say a word to Kim.

Chris Brown's baby mama drama is still going strong, it seems. He and Diamond Brown appear to be trashing each other on social media in the wake of her paternity suit.

On her Instagram story Monday, Diamond re-posted a video of TikToker William Last KRM lip-syncing to "Do You Ever Get Tired" -- an A.I.-generated song from King Willonius, who also generated the infamous "BBL Drizzy" sample.

The lyrics go ... "I got a question 'cause I really need to know, do you ever get tired of being a bitch-ass n****?"

An hour later, CB shared a story of his own, writing ... "Once you're an opp, this s*** don't stop!" The text appears alongside the lyrics of Crime Mob's "Knuck If You Buck."

Here's something guaranteed to hit you right in the feels ... Jelly Roll was out greeting a disabled fan, and TMZ caught every second of it!

It all went down outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Monday afternoon -- a mom rolled up with her son, telling JR his music inspired the kid to start singing too ... then played him the video.

Jelly Roll lit up, and when he heard they’re coming to his show, he didn't hesitate ... telling them they're getting full red carpet treatment. The fan's excitement is off the charts ... check out the clip!

The Met Gala might not have an official end time ... but these stars knew when it was time to pack up and head out to the after-party.

Big-time stars left The Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night and headed for a couple parties thrown by major brands ... celebs like Hailey Bieber, Tessa Thompson, and Charli XCX kept the vibes high at the Saint Laurent after-party at People's Bar in Manhattan.

These stars didn't need to change into comfy clothes and head to bed -- though Charli certainly sported a stripped down look ... and neither did other attendees like Camila Mendes, Marcello Hernandez, Kendall Jenner, and more.

Blue Ivy Carter and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban turned the Met Gala into a little bit of a rule-bending family affair ... and fashion's biggest night didn't seem mad about it.

The 2026 carpet was supposed to be strictly 18-plus -- a rule that's been in place since 2018 -- but somehow, these two high-profile teens slipped past the velvet rope ... and did it in serious style!

Leading the charge was 14-year-old Blue Ivy, who made her official Met Gala debut alongside her superstar parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue didn't just show up ... she showed out, rocking a cream strapless Balenciaga gown, plus gold heels, diamonds and a cropped bomber jacket draped off her shoulders like she's been doing this for years.

Let's not kid ourselves ... 14-year-olds aren't supposed to touch this carpet. The 18-and-up rule is simple, unless you have a workaround ... show up with A-list parents. And for Blue, one of them was basically running the whole thing.

It's the first Monday in May, so that means the Met Gala is here ... Hollywood is descending on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in some head-turning outfits!!!

Check out the stars as they depart their hotels before making their arrivals at the Metropolitan Museum of Art ... this year's theme is "Costume Art" and the dress code is "Fashion is Art."

Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour are among this year's co-chairs.

Cardi B says she's had it with Tasha K running her mouth about her ex-husband, Offset, despite an order prohibiting the blogger from doing so ... TMZ has learned.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Cardi points out Tasha agreed to honor a non-disparagement clause as part of her bankruptcy plan, which bars her from talking publicly about the "Bodak Yellow" rapper or her associates, including Offset and Stefon Diggs.

As we previously reported, Cardi, who is represented by attorney Lisa Moore, was awarded $4 million from Tasha in a defamation battle, and Tasha filed for bankruptcy months later. The two worked out a deal where the debt was reduced to $1.2 million, as long as Tasha made monthly payments. The deal included the non-disparagement clause which prohibits Tasha from talking about Cardi. Cardi's lawyer Lisa tells TMZ she is going after the full $3.9 million owed from Tasha.

All aboard the Met Gala fashion train!!!

Elaborate -- and super long -- dress trains have been a staple at the Met Gala for years ... with Rihanna among the ultimate trendtrainsetters.

RiRi rolled out a yellow train behind her 2015 Met Gala dress ... check it out -- it flowed down several stairsteps as she climbed her way up to the annual NYC event.

Britney Spears had her DUI charge dropped Monday morning after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors, where the charge was reduced to a "Wet Reckless."

There are conditions to the plea ... notably, she'll be placed on 12 months' probation, which could be a problem if she violates the law in the next year.

She also cannot possess drugs without a valid prescription. Again, this could be a problem. As we reported, Britney has gone to Mexico more than once to get Adderall.

She's also ordered to continue with mental health and substance abuse treatment, meeting with a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month.

If Britney violates any conditions of during her probation, she could be sentenced to jail.

Her lawyer Michael Goldstein tells TMZ ... “Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct.  She has taken significant steps to implement positive change which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI.  Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received.”

Prosecutors offered Britney a sweet plea deal, though she did not attend the hearing. The pop star's lawyer appeared on Britney's behalf at about 9 AM in a Ventura County courtroom.

Dave Chappelle gave fans a wild surprise Sunday night ... bringing Kanye West onstage during a packed comedy show.

A source at the show tells TMZ ... at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, Kanye did not perform, but he did make a quick appearance at the very end of the night.

We're told Dave had already done a full set, and was hosting -- phones were banned -- when he brought Ye out, telling the crowd ... "Kanye West has lost more money than I've ever made."

Trouble is still knocking at Frankie Valli's door -- and this time, it brought cops along with it.

Sources tell TMZ ... officers were called to the legendary singer’s L.A.-area home around 5 PM Sunday for a report of someone violating a restraining order related to a domestic dispute.

We’re told the call involved a 38-year-old male identified as one of Frankie’s sons ... but by the time police got to the property, he was already gone and no arrests were made.

Another source confirms the son who showed up was Francesco Valli.

Now that Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles are full-on fiancés ... Channing Tatum is really resonating with the idea of "letting go" and putting faith in the universe.

The actor re-posted a video to his Instagram story of a seal floating along in the water, captioned ... "The level I’m at of letting go and trusting in the flow of the universe."

Sure, this could be unrelated to his former fiancée's new engagement to the One Direction alum ... but if it walks like a vaguepost and talks like a vaguepost ...

This is the latest in a series of cryptic content Channing's shared since his ex has gotten engaged.

News broke late April that Harry and Zoë are officially engaged ... just a few days after she was snapped on the street sporting a massive rock on that finger.

Everybody who's anybody turned up to Anna Wintour's posh pad in Greenwich Village Sunday for the hottest house party in NYC ... the pre-Met Gala Dinner!

Zoë Kravitz flaunted her massive engagement ring -- you know, the one Harry Styles just gave her -- while Sabrina Carpenter rolled up in a lacy LBD.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams stunned in a red-hot dress with a thigh-high slit ... and that's just a fraction of the celebs who showed up.

Alex Ligertwood's daughter, Merci, tells TMZ ... "My dad loved many things. At the forefront were his family & friends, music, and Scotland. He continued doing shows up until the very end, just the way he wanted."

She adds ... "Though he is no longer with us, it’s a comfort to know his music and talent will live on. The outpouring of love is overwhelming and greatly appreciated by myself, my sister Kali, and brother Brandon. We miss you, Pops."

Alex Ligertwood -- who contributed lead vocals to iconic Latin rock band Santana over the years -- has died, TMZ has learned.

His daughter, Merci, announced the news Saturday, and the Brogan Agency confirmed the news Sunday, saying he "passed peacefully in his sleep with his doggy Bobo by his side" ... just 2 weeks after his final concert. He was living at his longtime home in Santa Monica when he died.

Brandon Paul, a guitarist who toured with Alex for the last several years as part of "Icons of Classic Rock," called Alex "a world-class professional" in a statement to TMZ. He went on ... "His voice was a force of nature -- soulful, from the heart, and legendary every single night. Beyond the music, he was an amazing human being and a dear friend."

Brandon added ... "Having a vocalist who worked with icons like Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck compliment my guitar playing is something I will carry with me forever." Clips of the pair sharing the stage together can be seen below.

Mel B brought a scary level of spice to Mel C's recent show ... jumping onstage to perform a beloved Spice Girls song with her pal!

Sporty Spice -- who released her album "Sweat" on Friday -- had a show in Leeds Saturday night ... and she brought out her former bandmate, a native of the area.

Mel B showered praise on her pal ... saying she really enjoyed the performance to that point ... before playing "Spice Up Your Life" with her friend.
