You Might Want to Rethink

7:40 PM PT -- Krysta Fauria -- the reporter who cut Babyface off by yelling to Chappell -- has apologized for the incident ... explaining the carpet is a chaotic place and she didn't mean to interrupt him.

Babyface tells TMZ ... "It's all love. The best part of the night was reconnecting with old friends, meeting new artists, and feeling all the love in the room. That’s what I’ll remember. That’s what it’s really about. Music is bigger than any one moment. Much love to everyone who won and everyone out here making great music.”

Babyface might be an R&B legend with 12 Grammys under his belt ... but, he got big-timed at music's biggest night -- 'cause a couple interviewers cut him off mid-answer to try and get Chappell Roan's attention at the Grammys!

The moment went down on the red carpet before the show Sunday ... a couple reporters ask him about the rise of female artists in R&B and about the genre blending with other music.

Babyface starts to answer the question ... when one of the interviewers spots Roan -- and, can hardly seem to contain her excitement.

Florence Mirsky -- the mother of music producer Scott Storch's son -- is doing her damndest to walk back the vile, racial slurs she hurled at valet workers ... and now claims she was "targeted."

Florence was leaving Boa Steakhouse Saturday night in WeHo, where she defended the outburst ... during which she called the valet a "wet****" and added, "You guys rape and kill people."

Well, good ol' Flo says don't believe your lyin' eyes or ears ... she's no racist. She told the paparazzi, "It's really crazy because my whole entire life I've loved Mexicans, Blacks, everything."

Bhad Bhabie has had it with Alabama Barker coming after her online ... warning that something might happen the next time they see each other.

Among her posts, she shared a video ... and, she started it by saying that all of Alabama's actions show "the type of b**** she is."

A scorned wife caught her wayward husband where he wasn't supposed to be, with someone he definitely wasn't supposed to be with ... and delivered a double beating, all caught on video.

Security camera video captures the moment a woman surprises her husband at a karaoke bar in a city in Siberia ... as he comes outside, she's waiting for him, and it's a bad tune for him.

Watch the video ... the footage captures the woman slugging her cheating husband multiple times in the face, pulling him by his hood as he tries to fend her off -- that's when his mistress makes her appearance, opening up the door to see what all the fuss is about outside ... and immediately catches hell from the wife.

The enraged woman runs up and unleashes on the wanton harlot with her fists, dragging her by the hair into the street as her husband tries to keep them separated. Shoulda tried harder to do that in the first place, bub.

As the woman breaks away and walks back toward the building, the wife bum-rushes her from behind and smashes her face into the doorframe ... then turns her wrath back on her hubby.

The scene was recorded in Novosibirsk, Russia this week -- the husband reportedly told his wife he was going out of town on business, but apparently stayed behind to spend time with his side piece.

Jesse Williams is all for progress being made in the film industry ... admitting he's optimistic about the future of diversity -- so long as it isn't just for show.

The actor spoke at a future of inclusion in film panel for The Adobe House at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend ... and, he talked about two different efforts to promote inclusion in film -- the genuine and the performative.

Listen to the clip for yourself ... Jesse says he sees and appreciates many creators genuinely trying to promote more equity in their movies -- but, he says he also sees the "trap of performative diversity."

Elon Musk's telling the people of Germany to move on from their country's past mistakes and embrace their culture with open arms ... and, many online are drawing more connections to the Third Reich.

The tech entrepreneur made a surprise speech to the Alternative for Germany party -- also known as (AfD), a far-right political party -- Saturday ... and, he talked a lot about preserving and finding pride in German culture.

Listen to the speech for all of it ... but, his basic point is that Germans shouldn't feel bad for being proud of their ethnicity, their culture and their country's shared value system.

Aryna Sabalenka won't win her third Australian Open in a row ... and, while she usually wins the break point, she reached her breaking point after the heartbreaking L -- taking it out on her trusty racket.

The Belarusian tennis standout was playing American Madison Keys in the final ... and, ended up losing the third set 7-5, dropping two out of three after battling back down 1-0 to force a tiebreaker.

After a hard-fought final point, Keys emerged victorious ... walking up to Sabalenka to hug -- which the superstar did politely, if a bit stony-faced.

Jewel is reaching out to her fans after performing at one of Donald Trump's inauguration celebrations ... issuing a big "I'm sorry" for her participation in the political weekend.

For those who missed it, the singer-songwriter performed at the "Make America Healthy Again" inauguration ball hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines ... after which she faced criticism for seemingly supporting Trump's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services -- and, indirectly supporting the new administration.

After Trump signed several executive orders ending diversity initiatives and announcing his administration will only recognize "2 genders -- male and female" ... Jewel is expressing regret for her participation in the inaugural festivities.

1/21/25, 9:00 AM PT -- Elon Musk has responded on his platform, X, to accusations he performed a Nazi salute, twice, in a speech after Donald Trump's inauguration yesterday.

He re-tweets a Libs of TikTok post featuring Democratic politicians with their arms up at similar angles ... Musk comments, "The legacy media is pure propaganda. You are the media now."

Elon Musk gave a speech to enthusiastic Donald Trump fans Monday, hours after the presidential inauguration ... and he made a gesture that harkened back to a dark time.

At Capital One Arena, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO strode to the podium, laughing maniacally, and thanked the cheering crowd ... and then slapped his right hand hard to his chest, and extended it out in front of him, palm down -- in what looks very suspiciously like a Nazi salute. He then repeated the same action to those seated behind him.

The provocative signal has many people online and on-air comparing the expression to the WWII-era "Sieg Heil" salute to Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler. That salute reportedly derives from an Ancient Roman Empire salute, more commonly performed with the slapped chest. Both salutes are generally associated with fascist history in Europe.

Billy Ray Cyrus was hit with brutal tech issues during his performance at the Liberty Ball to celebrate Trump’s inauguration -- and yeah, it was a total cringe-fest.

It all went down Monday night, and Billy was already on the struggle bus -- rocking a hoarse voice, no band, and attempting an a cappella version of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ... yeah, the one he featured on.

It was already heading toward an epic fail, and Billy seemed to know it -- trying to hype up the crowd to sing along. But then ... dun, dun, dun -- his guitar cut out.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is sticking to his signature style -- and nothing, not even freezing weather or Donald Trump’s inauguration can make him budge!

Fetterman strolled through D.C. Monday in shorts and a hoodie, looking more like he was heading to a barbecue than bracing for politics' biggest day of the year.

It’s unclear if Fetterman plans to switch up his look later or if he’s just built differently -- but to give you an idea of how cold it was, they had to move the entire inauguration indoors to the Capitol Rotunda to escape the chill.

Talk about a "holy s***" moment ... check out this insane video of a boy in China getting literally blown off his feet after a sewer explodes underneath him.

The wild footage was shot last Friday by a witness in China's Gansu Province, where you see the youngster walk up to a sewer opening and drop a firecracker inside.

Suddenly, the street detonates beneath his feet, sending him flying high into the air with all the debris. Soon, the kid comes crashing back down to earth on cement steps, causing him to suffer serious injuries.

Snoop Dogg's bringing Doggystyle to D.C. performing at an event for Donald Trump's inauguration ... and, the crowd didn't seem super into it.

The rapper performed at the Crypto Ball in Washington D.C. last night ... the first of several events marking Trump's ascension to the highest office in the land.

Check it out ... Snoop took the stage in front of a crowded audience and performed some of his hit songs -- including "Drop It Like It's Hot."

Savannah Guthrie is letting everyone know it's a new era at the "Today" show -- with a dash of humor -- after Hoda Kotb's departure and Craig Melvin taking her seat on the couch.

Guthrie and Melvin sat down with host Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show Thursday — and talked about Kotb's high-profile exit from the morning show after nearly 18 years.

Gutherie told a funny little tale about how she tossed out all of Hoda's "s***" after Kotb officially left the show last Friday.

Tennis star Daniil Medvedev paused his Australian Open match to beat the crap out of a net camera this week ... an epic meltdown that apparently worked wonders, as he went on to win by the skin of his teeth.

The outburst happened as the Russian was on the verge of going down two sets to one ... when he lost a point on a solid rally with Kasidit Samrej, the 418th-ranked player in the world.

After the tough moment, Medvedev approached the net and unloaded his racket on a camera that was sitting on the net ... shattering it -- and damaging his racket -- in the process.
