Coachella is already proving to be a disorganized and chaotic mess for attendees ... an experience at least one festivalgoer is calling "literal hell."

The gates to the Coachella campground opened at 9 AM Thursday ... a change from past iterations of the event, several regulars at the famous festival in Indio, California told Business Insider.

Hailey Maxwell -- who is hitting Coachella for her fifth time this weekend -- told BI usually the gates are open much earlier ... and, the lateness of opening has led to a much longer entry line.

Hungry night owls tried to hit up a storefront for the popular chicken chain in Santa Monica Monday night ... only to fall in line behind a Waymo taxi, which stalled out in a drive-thru entrance.

Photos show the car has its lights on, but no one's home -- quite literally, in this case. Eyewitnesses told KTLA-TV workers crowded around the vehicle around 9:30 PM as it attempted to back up, before screeching to a halt again ... probably realizing it didn't have the money for a meal.

Evidence is mounting that Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre may have lied about the seriousness of her car wreck in Australia last month, according to a report.

Multiple parents of children on a school bus that collided with Giuffre's car blasted the Epstein accuser, with one calling her a liar for saying she only had four days to live.

The parents told London's Telegraph newspaper their kids quickly dismissed the accident as nothing more than a "small crash" after exiting the bus to assess the damage. They also reportedly blasted Giuffre's characterization that she suffered life-threatening injuries.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has folks in a chokehold ... because she's wearing a braided hair necktie at a public appearance.

Maggie busted out a brunette version of the nearly $2,300 accessory ... matching her natural hair and pairing it with a suit.

Kanye West is standing by his controversial post about Jay-Z's kids ... asking DJ Akademiks if he really went too far with it -- or, if it was actually one of his best.

The controversial rapper sat down for an interview with the rapper -- released earlier Sunday -- and, during it Kanye addressed his social media presence ... claiming he's popping off on X because he's finally able to vent his raw thoughts without immediately facing a ban.

West then makes a bold statement ... claiming his post about Jay-Z's kids makes the "Nazi-s***" not seem as bad -- a point Akademiks kind of agrees with 'cause he says he feels like Kanye's post about Jay-Z's kids was by far his worst.

Jessica Simpson is down to do anything to help her vocal cords be in tip-top shape -- including a Chinese herb cocktail that includes snake sperm!

The EGOT winner sat down for an interview with The Times -- published Friday ... and, she discussed the 2020 flick based on August Wilson's seminal play of the same name, which also happens to be the last part Boseman ever filmed.

Davis says -- like many people around the world -- the cast didn't know Chadwick was sick ... so, when she saw Boseman's girlfriend and make-up artist rubbing his back and playing meditative music, she was a bit critical.

"Love is Blind" star Mark Anthony Cuevas dropped a bomb on Instagram overnight ... that his marriage to Aubrey Rainey was over -- but it seems he forgot to tell her!

In his message, Mark said the couple had made the decision to split "a few weeks ago," but they would continue to co-parent and focus on their two children.

But ... it seems like he forgot to share that huge update with someone important before posting to the world ... namely, Aubrey -- who replied in the comments ... "This is news to me. lol."
