Bette Midler, of all people ... took a big shot at Ariana Grande -- criticizing her for being too raunchy.

Bette -- who flashed a ton of skin back in her day -- must have a kick ass view from her giant glass house!

Beyoncé posted a new video of her goofing around with friends and shaking that ass, and while it looks like candid home video -- could it all be a set up to squash all those pesky photoshopping rumors ... and snatch back the booty crown from J.Lo?

One thing's for sure -- it’s a lot of fun trying to figure it out!

After Iggy Azalea and J.Lo broke down "Booty" live on the American Music Awards stage ... it was time for Iggy's mentor T.I. to weigh in on that highly anticipated ass carnival.

Two thumbs up? For the dancing, not their ... well ... y'know what -- let's just review the video.

Even though the battle ended quickly, it will be talked about for ages. Or at least for like two minutes ...

Eminem rapped about raping Iggy Azalea and she took to Twitter to defend herself. Who in the world would take Eminem's side in this?

Funny you should ask ...

Turns out there’s another version of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” -- which is huge news to all of his fans. It also turns out to be huge news ... to Eminem.

Yeah ... drugs are bad, kids.

Shaquille O'Neal snatched up one of our camera guys and dragged him around NYC for a day ... and along the way our photog learned some big Shaq secrets!

Not the least of which being that it's impossible to escape from a 7-foot giant. It's the most entertaining kidnapping EVER!!!

Hayden Panettiere and boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko are expecting their first kid ... and after seeing her in Hawaii, flaunting a womb the size of Oahu -- ya gotta wonder: Is she going C-section or pushing and praying for dear life?

Our advice: Don't be a hero, Hayden.

Can't ya just see it -- Kim Kardashian, Kim's ass ... and the rest of the family taking their place in history by starring in one of those legendary 5-part Ken Burns documentaries?!!

Yeah, he can't either, but what the hell ... let's give it a shot. Move over Roosevelts, and make room for ... The Kardashians!

Italian model Claudia Romani looked amazing in her tiny bikini frolicking at the beach. Only problem is ... it looks like she’s swimming through sewage.

We like our smoking hot models extra dirty, but this isn’t what we had in mind.

Solange Knowles sure looked great at her New Orleans wedding, but some sort of severe food allergy made her break out in HIVES after the reception.

And just when ya think she can't catch a break -- her ole elevator mates, Beyoncé and Jay Z, show up to save the day!

When Kim Kardashian struck her bare-assed #breaktheinternet pose ... she probably wasn't thinking about coffee. Or diarrhea. Luckily, someone else did.

And now we proudly present the Brown Ribbon winner from this year's Cannes Film Festival! Très bien, Mademoiselle Kardashian-West.

We attempted to score some first date tips from Ali Landry at LAX -- but got interrupted by her 6-year-old daughter ... who proceeded to mercilessly melt our cold cold hearts!!

And yeah -- she had some great advice. Kid already knows more about dating our pathetic photog!

Uh, you guys -- this is so not even LOL or JK.

If you like Arnold Schwarzenegger -- you're gonna LOVE our world premiere big deal thingy with ... his dog! Yeah, Arnie's doggy actually spilled a lot of secrets!

He basically talks to us more than his owner. Easier to understand too.
