Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, is over the moon about her son's huge baby announcement -- but she's even more excited about becoming a grandma.

Mallette posted a video Thursday, mere hours after Justin and his wife, Hailey, broke the news they're preparing for their first child.

The famous couple kissed and embraced as Hailey showed off her baby bump in a wedding gown. Other images showed Justin snapping photos of his pregnant wife.

12:35 PM PT --  Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Hailey Bieber's a little over six months pregnant, so sounds like she's entering the third trimester soon and we might have Baby Bieber by late summer!!!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are having a baby -- something the couple just announced ... and it looks like Hailey is somewhat far along, 'cause she's got a bump going.

The Biebers just posted the same thing -- a carousel of pictures and videos that show them engaged in a photo shoot out in a field somewhere ... with Hailey dressed in white and showing around her midsection.

Drake's security is working overtime ... because TMZ has learned a person allegedly tried to get into his home yet again this week -- the second such instance since the shooting.

According to the Toronto Police Service ... at approximately 3:30 PM ET today, police were called about a person trespassing on the property. We're told the trespasser got into an altercation with security before cops arrived ... and, he was taken to the hospital.

There were rumblings something new was afoot when a video got uploaded to social media Thursday that showed a fresh ambulance at Drake's pad. Police say they're investigating.

Kesha's doubling down on her Diddy diss ... saying her change to the song "TiK ToK" is here to stay -- and she's even telling fans she wants to hear it at her upcoming shows.

A photog caught up with the singer-songwriter outside LAX Thursday, and they talked to her about her choice to shade Diddy ... including forever changing the lyrics to the hit pop classic from "Feeling like P.Diddy" to "F*** P. Diddy," like she did at Coachella last month.

Kesha says she's making the change because she knows what she believes, and she's confident she's in the right here ... and, says she wants fans to scream out the lyrics at her upcoming shows. FWIW, Diddy himself has vehemently denied the allegations against him.

Video of Rick Ross performing for a scattered group of people recently went viral, suggesting the Bawse is taking an 'L' in his beef with Drake -- but that's not really what went down.

Craig Mogil, the head of venue and agency relations for GigFinesse, tells TMZ Hip Hop ... Rozay was booked for a private afterparty connected to ROCKET-X Dallas' home services conference.

Ross' May 3 performance had been booked since way back in January ... clearly enough time to generate ticket sales if that was the goal, but that wasn't the case here.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's heated rap beef is the talk of every town, and Malcolm Jamal-Warner thinks that's precisely the problem -- hip hop culture is getting props for bad stuff!

The 'Cosby Show' alum vented his thoughts on Drake and Kendrick's 2024 rap war, and the 53-year-old version of himself refuses to accept the notion their fiery back and forth -- which seems to be on ice now -- was great entertainment.

MJW knows his message isn't a popular one, but thinks Black culture has been conditioned to normalize songs about murder, misogyny and even glorifying the n-word.

Metro Boomin's smack in the middle of the 2024 rap wars, but that hasn't slowed the superproducer's motion -- he performed to thousands inside the Egyptian Great Pyramids complex!!!

We got some groovy snaps of Young Metro's booming set from April 30 in Giza, where the stage sat near the Great Pyramid, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx.

He's already a big deal in the Middle East ... a source close to the situation tells us Metro's Egyptian escapades included a meeting with officials at the royal Abdeen Palace in Cairo.

Taylor Swift is shaking things up for the start of the European leg of her 'Eras' tour ... introducing a slew of changes for the new shows, and her fans absolutely love it.

The singer kicked off the new dates for her record-breaking tour with a stop in Paris Thursday ... debuting a couple key changes right out of the gate. As eagle-eyed Swifties quickly noticed, Taylor donned a new 'Lover' bodysuit for the intro of her tour.

Instead of the pale pink and blue sequined number -- which Taylor famously wore in the concert film -- the singer wore a vibrant orange bedazzled bodysuit. She also notably ditched her getup for the 'Fearless' era, swapping in a new gold and black fringe dress.

J. Cole caught a little flak for bowing out his Kendrick Lamar battle ... but fans have been joking he's probably on a beach chillin' amid all this ... and turns out, they're half right!!!

A TikTok user named Lale says she randomly bumped into Cole at the beach on Tuesday this week and she even posted a pic of them together for evidence. Sure enough, it looks like Cole.

Lale fielded various questions from her Cole encounter in the comments ... she had gone to the beach to clear her head when she spotted the elusive rap star.

Drake's had a rough past few weeks beefing with Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Rick Ross and having his house shot up ... and things may be taking their toll.

On Thursday morning, Drake shared an IG story from the new Netflix series "A Man In Full" ... which shows Jeff Daniels' character Charlie Croker appearing to spurt out his last thoughts as he dies on the floor.

The show's premise follows a fallen real estate tycoon looking to reclaim his empire as enemies swirl around him.

Teresa Giudice is dishing on how she scored a rare selfie with Taylor Swift at Coachella ... without even being a Swiftie.

Remember, the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star was in the same VIP section as the singer at weekend 1 of the music festival. Still, as Teresa recently told E! News ... she almost didn't approach Taylor, out of fear she'd bother the Grammy winner, especially since she wasn't a Swiftie.

Apparently, we have Teresa's husband Louie Ruelas to thank for the iconic pic ... as Teresa admitted he was the one who encouraged her to speak to Taylor. She added, "Jennifer Aydin [who’s] on my show, she loves her. I’m like, ‘All right. I’m doing this for Jennifer Aydin.'"

Ryan Garcia launched an all-out social media attack on Errol Spence Jr. on Wednesday ... challenging the fellow boxing star to a fight -- and doing his best Kendrick Lamar impression in the process.

The feud sparked after one of Spence's fans said they'd like to see him take on King Ry as his next opponent ... to which Garcia unloaded a number of fiery responses, including a post claiming he already told his camp to make it happen.

Garcia even threw out a date and a place ... saying he'll be ready to throw hands on August 10 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. He also seemed to be down with Spence's pitch to fight between 154 and 160 pounds (super welterweight or middleweight) ... despite that being at least 14 pounds more than what he was supposed to come in at ahead of the Devin Haney bout.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard believes in her heart of hearts she's Taylor Swift's new muse -- she's convinced one of the singer's new songs is all about her, or at the least ... inspired by her.

Sources connected to Gypsy tell TMZ ... GRB thinks Taylor’s new song "Fresh Out The Slammer" -- from her 'Tortured Poets Department' album -- might be about her December release from prison.

The reason she even suspects that ... we're told Gypsy sees a lot of similarities between the song lyrics and her real life -- almost to a T.

Cardi B is taking heat for blanking on the designer of her epic Met Gala gown right when it mattered most -- but Ayra Starr says don't judge, because it's impossible to always be perfect in the heat of the moment!

TMZ Hip Hop ran into the Afrobeats superstar Wednesday in Bev Hills, and she understood where Cardi was coming from -- the "Wap" rapper couldn't recall who put together her ridiculously huge and long gown when she was interviewed entering the Met ... and she felt the wrath of a former Vogue exec.

Ayra's no stranger to events like the Met Gala, and says no preparation can save you when your nerves take over.

Action Bronson says the best way to enjoy his KnicksTape is blunted on reality ... totally enhancing his courtside experience!!! 😵‍💫

We caught Mr. Bam Bam Baklava at LAX proudly waving the NYK banner, and he owned up to his viral moments of being completely blitzed inside Madison Square Garden.

No regrets for the Queens MC ... Action tells us that being stoned while sitting so close to the team's huddle gives his brain the 3D effect -- it's like Knicks HC Tom Thibodeau is drawing up plays from a spaceship!!!
