Saturday marked the final 'After Dark' tours of 2025, with two buses rolling out, featuring TV personality James Wright Chanel and actor Kris D. Lofton.
Since it was the last "TMZ After Dark" of 2025, the night centered on New Year’s resolutions ... with Lofton actively engaging passengers by asking about their goals for the year ahead.
As the buses returned to Hollywood Boulevard, the energy only intensified -- no one wanted to get off!
The final Friday night of "TMZ After Dark" in 2025 turned into an unforgettable, intimate pop moment when hitmaker Paula DeAnda stepped onto the bus for hosting duties ... and immediately began singing “Walk Away” -- no greeting, no buildup, just raw vocals!
What followed was nearly two hours of stripped-down, close-up performances that felt more like a private concert than a nightlife tour ... and a digital billboard featuring her song and music video even followed the bus through Hollywood, adding to the surreal experience.
Paula took us to three bars, where the whole bus got free shots -- and then some! The first was Power House, an iconic dive bar on Hollywood Blvd that gives us pickleback shots ... followed by Beaches Tropicana, which was like a big WeHo rave ... and then Saddle Ranch Chop House, which -- on top of our free shots -- gave all the "TMZ After Dark" passengers QUESADILLAS!
During her interview, DeAnda opened up about her New Year’s resolutions, shared how much fun she was having, and confirmed she’ll be coming back for a future 'After Dark' and brunch tour. The spontaneous performance, candid moments, and surprise return announcement made the night a standout and a perfect way to kick off the final 'After Dark' weekend of 2025.

Saturday night was a double takeover ... rap artist Compton AV took over one bus, while DJ Sky from "Baddies" held it down on the other -- and it turned into a full-on Christmas Bus Battle when the buses rolled past each other to see which one was more lit!
Compton AV was an incredible host ... not only hyping the crowd, but delivering live performances of some of his biggest hits -- including "Slid'N" -- live on the bus. His bus, complete with a mobile billboard, followed us for an epic, on-the-move concert moment.
DJ Sky looked stunning and had passengers swooning as she led her bus to some of the best bars in town, including The Burgundy Room, one of the coolest, grungiest dive bars around. Both buses then hit Beaches in West Hollywood -- not to be confused with Beaches Tropicana -- where we got free shots and danced the night away.
Fun fact -- actually, really, really sad fact -- if you weren't on the TMZ Brunch Bus Sunday, you missed Teala Dunn! But don't worry ... we got it all on camera.
The YouTuber and influencer was absolutely glowing ... not only because she’s gorgeous, but because she was also celebrating her birthday. And this birthday was full of surprises.
The first was when Teala’s mom showed up with flowers and balloons, instantly turning the tour into a birthday celebration. As it turned out, a group of passengers on the bus were also celebrating a birthday, so the entire ride became one big birthday-themed party. By the end, it felt less like a tour and more like a family!
Need a little inspo to pull up to "TMZ After Dark?" Look no further -- Natasha Graziano hopped on the party bus this weekend, hosting the whole vibe and living it all the way up!
Natasha brought all the festive vibes during a Saturday-night bar crawl -- kicking things off at E.P. & L.P.’s Holly Jolly Christmas Bar, rolling through Rainbow Bar & Grill, and wrapping it up at Roosterfish West Hollywood ... where the singing and dancing went down hard enough to make Santa proud.
Popular streamer Zoe Spencer threw it back, down and all around in a viral-worthy twerk off onboard the TMZ Brunch Bus Sunday ... and lucky for you -- we got it all on camera!
Check out the video ... everybody was getting loose on the Hollywood tour, thanks to some shots and Zoe's incredible hosting abilities, which were displayed in full force.
Zoe made the passengers' day by livestreaming the event while the bus rapped along to Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," and even threw in a freestyle or two.
While Zoe's only been streaming for about a year, she's a seasoned veteran when it comes to having a ball.
"TMZ After Dark" has been tearing up the nightlife for a minute now ... so naturally, the next step was bigger, bolder, raunchier -- it's our first-ever gay party on wheels!
We’ve honestly never seen a party like it -- history went down Saturday night as celeb hosts Queer Ultimatum’s Vanessa Papa and comedian Izzy Rocha turned all the way up, raging with Ashlee Belzo's queer-owned production crew Girls, Gays and Theys.
The bar crawl kicked off at Jumbo’s Clown Room, bounced to Rainbow Bar & Grill, rolled through Beaches Tropicana ... and wrapped at Roosterfish West Hollywood for the company’s massive third anniversary blowout.
If that wasn’t enough -- surprise! West Hollywood Mayor Chelsea Lee Byers popped up, and we took her to Jumbo’s for the first time. Cameras weren’t allowed inside, so yeah ... let your imagination do the heavy lifting ...
"Basketball Wives" star Laura Govan was the MVP of the "TMZ After Dark" tour over the weekend, showing us how to celebrate like we just won an NBA championship.
Watch the video ... Laura looked like the perfect snow angel of a host, wearing a gorgeous fur coat and BELTING out the lyrics to Keyshia Cole's "Love."
Laura even brought her mom and dad to party with us ... and boy did we party, because the whole tour was fueled by Monster Energy! Every passenger got their own Monster Energy drink and danced and sang the night away!
Grammy award-nominated singer Klypso hosted our 12:30 PM brunch bus for his birthday weekend, and we caught all the madness as it went down!!

Lisa Vanderpump's TomTom, where we took watermelon shots ... and finally, The Butcher, Baker, Cappuccino Maker, where we got free empanadas and hot chocolate!
Even better, Klypso created an epic TMZ moment by dancing on the hood of the bus! He said it was the most amazing way to spend his bday and he wants to host more tours ... he even had a pic of himself on top of the bus on his birthday cake!

India Love is clearly the hostess with the damn mostest -- and when you hand her the keys to lead the "TMZ Brunch Tour," you just know things are gonna get wild ... and this weekend was Exhibit A!
Check out the clip -- straight after the Streamer Awards, India went all in hyping up the brunch crowd, and she led by example ... we’re talking twerking, singing, and even working the bus rails like a full-on stripper pole. India's best friend Shelly gave out free lashes as they passed by Lure Lashes on Sunset Blvd.
The party didn’t stop there -- the crew rolled through three brand new hotspots: Beaches WeHo, where we got mimosas and a drag show, the Saddle Ranch, where we got watermelon gummy shots, and the grand finale was at Marathon Burger, where folks was treated like family -- especially by Blacc Sam, who was grilling free burgers and fries for everyone.

DJ Palina La Diva and DJ XVIRAD hopped on the 1s and 2s and kept the party going as the bus made stops at Hollywood hot spots ... the rave first went to Rainbow Bar & Grill, where we had a dance party in a private room, plus free shots.
Isaiah Jaay had the TMZ Brunch Bus baddies going wild ... getting the whole group hyped as they hit a few popular spots in Los Angeles Sunday.
The R&B singer led the bus to The Henry, The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker, and TomTom Restaurant & Bar in West Hollywood to cap off the long holiday weekend ... belting out soulful notes on the ride and throwing in some fancy dances moves to boot.
Jaay recently served as the audience host at the "Baddies Gone Wild" reunion show ... and, while our bus didn't get as out of hand as the three-episode reunion, Jaay certainly knows how to rock a crowd just right.
"TMZ After Dark" doubled the chaos this weekend -- two buses, twice the drama, and zero doubt we’re the wildest party rolling through Hollywood!
Check it out ... OFB Yung from Cali Swag District, Klypso, and The FiNATTiCZ pulled up and set the vibe ... downing those shots, riding mechanical bulls like pros, and turning all the way up for a party-goer's birthday ... all fueled by Monster Energy!
