Lil Wayne has a new cook in his kitchen who has the keys to his heart and stomach, TMZ Hip Hop can reveal.

Wayne and chef LeahAngelie Murphy started working together at the top of 2023 after his last chef situation went kaput ... and we've learned emotions between the "Lollipop" rapper and LeahAngelie began to heat up like the oven range shortly after ... and they've been together since!!!

She hails from Los Angeles and lives with Wayne, providing him with round-the-clock meals 24/7.

Cynthia Erivo has had enough of the fan edits surrounding the upcoming "Wicked" movie ... including one viral image of the reworked movie poster.

The actress, who plays Elphaba in the highly anticipated "Wicked" film, issued a statement on Instagram Wednesday after fans took it upon themselves to edit the movie's poster to look more like the one used for the Broadway musical.

Check it out ... the new image is edited to cast a shadow over Cynthia's eyes from the Wicked Witch's wide-brimmed hat ... much like it does in the original illustration.

Pittsburgh Steelers player DeShon Elliott tried to be funny with his social media activity ... but it backfired when fans criticized him for sharing an insensitive joke referencing Osama bin Laden and his coach Mike Tomlin ahead of a matchup against the New York Jets.

The meme in question was part of the safety's photo dump on Instagram -- showing Tomlin's face photoshopped on top of bin Laden's head, with the caption "Osama Bin Tomlin."

Naturally, given bin Laden's involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center that left nearly 3,000 dead ... many people took issue.

Georgetown University's women's basketball team is catching flak for honoring a former player who was fatally shot by a police officer who she slashed with a knife.

The Hoyas' official X account posted a tribute to ex-player Sydney Wilson, mourning her "tragic loss" last month ... but now the post is drawing criticism because newly released police body cam footage shows her attacking the cop -- cutting his face -- before he shoots and kills her.

The tribute post has been on the Georgetown women's basketball team's X page since September 20. Sydney, who played for GU from 2009 to 2013, died Sept. 16 in the police shooting -- and the video of the fatal altercation was just released Monday.

Elon Musk is promising an "autonomous" future, unveiling a number of driverless products ... including Tesla's highly anticipated Cybercab.

The billionaire offered a demonstration Thursday night at an event titled "We, Robot," showing off 3 new products. The first was the brand's driverless Cybercab, which Elon rode into the event ... and attendees were able to test out.

He said ... "The autonomous future is here. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. You’ll see model Ys and the Cybercab. All driverless."

The decision to include a transgender character in a new 'Star Wars' project has sparked a strong reaction from its super vocal fanbase ... with some being more supportive than others.

The space saga dropped a new book in its franchise Tuesday, titled "Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers," in which readers get well acquainted with a Stormtrooper named Sister.

It didn't take long for Sister's character description and picture to pop up on X ... including the tidbit that Sister "expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers."

Lil Tay is calling out the double standards of certain music fans and industry watchers, bringing Halsey into the mix to highlight the different treatment she gets compared to her peers when it comes to new releases and personal challenges.

The 17-year-old rapper came for the haters in an IG vid Wednesday, expressing her confusion over Halsey being hailed as empowering for dropping new material the same day she talked about her "cancer" diagnosis. (Just to be clear, Halsey doesn't have cancer -- she’s dealing with both lupus and a rare T-cell disorder).

Lil Tay pointed out when she dropped the music video for her new track "Growing Up" just weeks after her own heart surgery last month, people were quick to accuse her of using her health struggles as a PR stunt to promote her song.

Tyler, The Creator had a change of heart -- and change of transmission -- toward Elon Musk during a recent performance, dissing the Tesla CEO in front of thousands of fans!!!

The Grammy winner shut down ACL Festival 2024 last weekend, and folks captured his new rendition of the 2017 "Flower Boy" track "911/Mr. Lonely" ... Tyler flipped the lyrics from "Sucks you can't gas me up / Shout out to Elon" to simply say "F*** Elon!!!"

He didn't miss a beat or slip up the delivery ... the lyric switch could have been pre-planned -- or Tyler meant it with every fiber of his soul in the moment!!!

NHL writer Frank Seravalli is facing a ton of backlash over an insensitive comment he made regarding Johnny Gaudreau's death ... and it's gotten to the point where he was forced to apologize over it all.

Seravalli wrote up an article that included 32 bold predictions for the upcoming season on Monday -- and predicted the Columbus Blue Jackets would win the lottery "with a little help from Gaudreau."

Fans online were quick to call him out  -- and even though he revised the piece multiple times, people were still calling it "disgusting."

There's been no way to avoid the Diddy and Meek Mill social media slander since the lawsuits began to fly -- a reality Alex AKA Midgepack knows all too well!!!

We linked up with Alex in West Hollywood Friday ... and if he looks familiar, you probably recognize him as the dude posing with Diddy and Meek Mill when they were draped in matching designer outfits at a party one time.

Alex tells us his photo has been memed and AI'ed to oblivion, including the more recent phony vid of Diddy and Meek Mill locking lips ... clearly fake footage, but it hasn't stopped the Internet from running wild with imagination.

TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg, who's amassed over 1.4 million followers on the platform, has died ... this according to her husband.

Cameron Grigg, the 25-year-old influencer's husband, shared the news on his social media Saturday ... saying her passing was, "so sudden and unexpected" -- adding, "This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime."

Taylor's husband didn't provide a cause of death, but noted the plan is for her organs to be donated. He signed off by saying they weren't able to financially prepare for the hardship that would come with her passing -- linking to a GoFundMe for fans who are able to help.

A popular social media influencer and OnlyFans model in Australia is finding out the hard way it's not cool to feed the wildlife for clicks ... and it may cost her some dough, 'cause it's apparently illegal there!

Here's the deal ... Jaylie Bonow posted a now-deleted vid of her feeding a chicken -- she claims it was cooked -- to a saltwater crocodile on the banks of the Russell River in Far North Queensland. Turns out ... that is a serious no-no Down Under, and now she's under investigation.

Of course, JB boasted about the experience on IG ... which backfired when it caught the attention of the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI), which confirmed she was under investigation for the bizarre clout chase stunt, according to Daily Mail.

The agency made it clear last month they were cracking down on people feeding crocs ... 'cause it's not just super dangerous -- it makes them more aggressive and less afraid of humans. She faces a fine of $2,580, per the agency.

Jaylie must know the situation is serious ... 'cause she has since posted a video apologizing ... and calling the dangerous feeding a "silly mistake."

JB is attempting to do something of a judo move with her ma culpa ... attempting to educate others on the law.

A restraining order requested against TikTok star OnlyJayus has been dissolved ... and it's the result of her ex not showing up for the court hearing, TMZ has learned.

We broke the news that Brittany Lee Dejardo was seeking court-ordered protection against Isabella Avila, AKA OnlyJayus ... claiming her ex kept coming around her home, was verbally abusive, and allegedly used her massive social media accounts to berate her.

Brittany beelined it to court earlier this month and asked a judge for a temporary restraining order ... but that was dismissed Thursday.

An OnlyFans model in Australia couldn't help but get a little naughty in a hardware store ... and now she's banned.

Here's the blueprint ... Cynthia Lin took her seemingly doe-eyed performances into Bunnings -- a chain Down Under --  and filmed a series of sexually charged videos with random customers.

Seeking a “single tradie” ... CL would wander around until she found a man by himself ... and then hit on him with sexual innuendos before asking to exchange numbers.

A promotional flyer for the Colorado Buffaloes' matchup against the UCF Knights was met with a ton of backlash on Friday ... with football fans wondering why the social media post wasn't kept in drafts in light of Hurricane Helene -- as it featured a star player knee-deep in water.

The Deion Sanders-led program's official X account shared the imagery at 12:30 PM PT ... in an attempt to signify 24 hours 'til kickoff from FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando.

The flyer was intended to be a play on star defensive back Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig's "Shark" nickname ... but considering what surrounding Southeast regions experienced over the past day, many users felt the theming of the promo was insensitive.
