Paparazzi

Justin Bieber's a star ... and, in case you somehow forget it, he's got a bright green pimple patch in the center of his forehead to remind you.

The singer-songwriter was spotted out in Los Angeles Thursday heading to catch a private flight ... and, he stared photogs down while leaning out the car window.

Check out the pic ... Bieber's got a thin pair of sunglasses on -- with a small hoop earring in his right ear and a stud planted in the side of his nose.

Everyone knows the paparazzi loves catching a celeb in public, and we wanna see if you can guess who this actress is -- without all the flashing lights, of course!

We know she might look a little different when she's not wearing her bright red swimsuit from "Baywatch," but we still think she stands out plenty ... and so did her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, who she was married to for a few years!

And she's been staying busy ever since we caught her in public, as she's been involved with numerous TV and film projects ... including the new "Naked Gun" movie.

A piece of pop culture history is hitting the auction block ... the car Britney Spears drove during one of the darkest periods of her life -- and it's arguably one of the most photographed celebrity whips of all time.

Britney's iconic black 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 is being sold to the highest bidder next month ... after spending nearly 15 years on display at the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois.

The sporty convertible used to be known as the most dangerous car on the streets of Los Angeles ... because it's the ride Britney was driving in 2007 when her life started spiraling.

Justin Bieber's chugging a giant pint of irony -- after raging out at paparazzi, he's now paying them to create content for new album, "SWAG" ... TMZ has learned.

It's a pretty stunning plot twist ... the singer-songwriter made a deal with a photo agency to use the audio from a video shot last month, where he lashed out at the paparazzi for shooting him as he left a restaurant.

We're told Bieber's camp made the photo agency sign an NDA ... so, their representatives aren't allowed to discuss terms of the deal, such as how much JB paid.

Amanda Bynes is getting ready for her close-up -- but first, she’s giving her weight loss a dramatic makeover, with Ozempic taking center stage.

Yup, in an IG video shared to her Stories on Sunday, Amanda made it crystal clear -- she’s on a mission to slim down with the help of the weight loss drug, and the motivation? To look picture-perfect for all those pap shots!

The former child star got real, revealing her goal to drop from 173 pounds to 130 pounds -- 'cause, according to her, the key is avoiding those pesky double chin shots from every angle.

Justin Bieber's war with the paparazzi is escalating ... the pop star got into a tense standoff with photogs as both sides turned their cameras on each other.

The Biebs shared all the drama on Instagram Thursday night, posting a video he shot of the shutterbugs swarming him with their flashing cams.

In the video, Bieber is never seen in frame as he shoots video of the paps while he and wife Hailey are leaving a location and being led to a parked SUV.

Justin Bieber flipped a switch after flipping out on photogs who snapped him on his way into a coffee shop near Coachella ... because he was kind and respectful inside the store.

The Biebs went ballistic on shutterbugs outside The Vintage Coffee House in Indio before Coachella Weekend 1 ... but the shop owner tells us Justin was a completely different person once he walked in the door.

We're told Justin was kind, friendly and sweet after the heated tirade at the paparazzi ... and he was totally calm inside the shop.

Justin Bieber's not feeling good vibes heading into Coachella weekend, and he put the paparazzi on notice ... calling them out for trying to make a buck off him.

The singer snapped on the photogs as he and some friends hit up a coffee shop in the Palm Springs area Wednesday morning -- one photog merely said, "Good morning" ... and that triggered his rant.

JB marched right up to each photographer -- there were about 4 of them -- and repeatedly accused them of only caring about money, not people.

Kesha served up some champagne during her NYC show Thursday -- but it wasn't what one paparazzi ordered ... the flying bottle whacked him in the stomach!

Here's how it went down ... the singer was performing at YSL Beauty Candy Club in SoHo last night when she launched into her hit "Joyride," with a couple male dancers onstage as a large crowd of influencers watched.

Check out video, obtained by TMZ ... Kesha is holding a bottle of champagne while belting out the tune with the dancers on their knees around her. She starts shaking the open bottle, shooting bubbly everywhere, spraying her dancers and herself.

Ben Affleck is ready to bid his Brentwood mansion goodbye ... and move into a "super high-end" and "massively private" crib, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us ... Ben had been eyeing the new property for a while -- and it seems he pulled the trigger and bought it last year.

There is a slight snag of sorts -- the new pad is still under construction, but as soon as it's ready, Ben will bounce from his current Brentwood digs.

Kanye West is ready to take Bianca Censori's "It Girl" status to new heights ... literally shutting down traffic to get the perfect shot of his wifey.

Check it out ... Kanye blocks off a street in West Hollywood, California, to direct picture-hungry photogs on how they should shoot his lady last night.

Bianca, who's ditched her signature naked style for a white pullover and silver leggings, saunters to the center of the road ... where Ye instructs her to pose on the yellow line "like you was drinkin'."

Taylor Swift always has to be one step ahead of the paparazzi -- and a new video shows her and 2 famous friends sneaking out of a Los Angeles restaurant to avoid the flashing cameras.

The video, which was shot in January, but surfaced Sunday on TikTok, captures Taylor, Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsay Bell walking through the kitchen of Wolfgang Puck's Spago, Beverly Hills, after their meal.

Several of the male employees are seen leading the pop star and her buddies to the back, presumably where they can slip away quietly through a door to elude the shutterbugs out front.

Angelina Jolie's star power is as fierce as ever -- and it might even be a bit too much, as evident during a recent outing, where the fan frenzy seemed so intense, she looked like she could barely keep up!

The actress got totally mobbed as she hit up the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills for a special screening of her new flick "Maria" on Monday. As you can see, fans, autograph hunters, and paps were practically climbing all over each other for a moment with Ang, leaving her barely an inch of breathing room.

It’s pretty clear Angelina was less than thrilled with all the chaos -- and you can see her doing her best to respectfully tell people to take it easy. Her team, on the other hand, didn’t hold back ... with one member bluntly telling the crowd to "get out of her face."

Zendaya is likely grateful she had Tom Holland by her side during a night out in NYC ... with the 'Spider-Man' star swooping in and saving her from one overeager photog.

Check it out ... Tom appeared to channel his Marvel character Thursday evening, as he pulled a hero move when a pap blocked Zendaya's walkway while exiting the Nine Orchard Hotel in NYC.

You can see Tom lightly shove the paparazzi out of the way while holding tightly onto his lady love's hand. Unfortunately, Tom had to defend Zendaya on another occasion that evening, when she was swarmed by those seeking autographs.

Lana Del Rey is opening up about her wedding to her alligator tour guide hubby Jeremy Dufrene ... but she doesn't seem very happy.

The singer took to the comments section of an Instagram fan account to complain about a couple from Louisiana who have been flying drones outside Lana and her husband's windows and pursuing them with a tracker.

She identified the culprits and said she would feel a lot safer if the two would stop following her family into secluded areas around the U.S. and turning her wedding ring into a pearl using photo-editing.

Ben Affleck lost his cool on the paparazzi this weekend -- but for good reason ... they were flashing the crap out of him with their cameras, which he rightly noted was dangerous.

The actor was spotted leaving his and Jennifer Lopez's marital home in Bev Hills Sunday night -- where a group of photographers were waiting at the bottom of a hill for him as he was exiting solo ... and once they saw his car coming down the path, they snapped away.

You can see a bunch of white flashes as Ben attempts to safely get back onto the main road, but he comes to an abrupt stop ... and then gets out of the vehicle to speak his mind.
