Tensions between Rihanna and A$AP Rocky boiled over not once, but TWICE at Monday's Met Gala in NYC ... with the latest video showing the couple clearly unhappy behind the scenes. 

Video posted to X Tuesday night featured A$AP chatting with 2 other women at the event while RiRi was being interviewed by a reporter just steps away. At one point, RiRi turns to A$AP with a glum expression while answering questions from the journalist.

Rocky then walks over to greet the reporter -- and then tries to engage with RiRi, who becomes standoffish.    

Priscilla Presley is opening up about the death of her and Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie, like never before ... saying her sudden death "separated" her family.

Priscilla made the remark during a speaking event with her son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, in Las Vegas over the weekend. In audio obtained by TMZ, she says Lisa's sudden death "separated" the family because they're no longer getting together for family meals and such with Lisa. Not to mention, she notes Lisa's twins Harper and Finley Lockwood are now 18 and busy with their boyfriends.

As you know, Priscilla and Lisa had dramatic ups and downs in their mother-daughter relationship. However, days before Lisa's January 12, 2023 death, they attended the 80th Golden Globe Awards together and watched Austin Butler win Best Actor for his portrayal of Elvis in the successful biopic of the legend's life.

Here's Lil Nas X throwing stacks of cash at a male stripper inside a famous West Hollywood club.

TMZ obtained video showing the "Old Town Road" rapper making it rain on an exotic dancer Saturday night at The Abbey in West Hollywood.

Folks who were there tell us three male strippers were dancing and twerking up a storm on the stage when Lil Nas X approached with a fistful of dollars ... and he showed particular interest in one dancer.

D4vd's brother, Caleb Burke, is jumping into the family biz ... dropping original music about sex and love, all while D4vd's locked up & facing murder charges, TMZ has learned.

Earlier this month, Caleb opened social media accounts under the name Cara Kova, but he calls himself Kova. The aspiring singer posted two songs -- "Imaginary Love" and "S*x" -- on Spotify and Apple Music.

Spotify lists Kova as the artist, but Caleb Burke as the songwriter, singer, composer and producer.

Michael Jackson's former doctor's life has taken a major twist, or rather his hair has ... because he's bunching it up in a ponytail these days.

We've obtained photos of Conrad Murray -- the doctor who served two years in jail for the manslaughter of the King of Pop -- sporting his new hairdo Tuesday morning outside a diner in Sunrise, Florida.

Check it out ... the new style seems in its nascent stages, but, it certainly looks like he's letting it grow, and letting his hipster flag fly.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's Met Gala evening went down just like a high school prom ... a ton of fun, followed by what appears to be an emotional talk.

The couple was photographed inside a sprinter bus Monday night ... but instead of popping bottles and celebrating the billionaire singer's 12th Met Gala, the couple seemed to be tired after the long event.

In the video ... the body language speaks for itself. At one point, RiRi put on a mild smile as they walked back into their hotel.

A witness at the Met who saw the couple at various occasions throughout the night tells TMZ that Rihanna and A$AP were totally fine and having a great time. The witness said they did not appear to have any issues.

Orlando Bloom had the rumor mill going big time ... 'cause he was photographed in the Big Apple with influencer Meredith Duxbury!

Peep the pics -- the 49-year-old rolled up to Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna's Met Gala after-party Monday alongside the 27-year-old makeup star.

Now, there was no hand-holding, no PDA -- nothing indicating that they were even there together -- but people were def talking.

But TMZ has learned nothing's actually going on here.

A source tells us ... Orlando was with Luisa Laemmel last night. They say he doesn't know Meredith and was likely just walking in around the same time.

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.
