El cantante de Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant no cree que Taylor Swift tenga canciones famosas, a pesar de que se le han presentado pruebas de lo contrario.

El músico británico criticó el estatus de Taylor en la lista A mientras conversaba recientemente con The Guardian, afirmando que no tiene suficientes éxitos como para ser un icono tan grande como Michael Jackson. Se puede decir que su polémica declaración tuvo reacciones mixtas por la forma en que respondió la gente.

Tennant dijo: "Taylor Swift me fascina como fenómeno porque es muy popular y me gusta todo el asunto, pero cuando escucho los discos ... Para un fenómeno tan grande, ¿dónde están las canciones famosas? ¿Cuál es el 'Billie Jean' de Taylor Swift?".

Sorry, Beyhive ... it appears Beyoncé's not headin' to Indio this weekend -- 'cause a TikToker's seemingly found the real DJ Backwoods Barbie, and it ain't Bey!

User @beysus.christ -- obviously a Beyoncé superfan -- put on her internet detective hat and started chasing down leads in the "Who is DJ Backwoods Barbie???" mystery, and she posted her findings online, breaking the news gently she doesn't think Bey's coming to Stagecoach.

In the clip, beysus says she found a user on Instagram who commented about how excited they were to see DJ Backwoods Barbie on all of Barbie's IG posts and a post from the official Stagecoach account.

Gucci Mane decided it best he enter the 2024 rap wars and his chosen target is Diddy!!!

Mr. Zone 6 is kicking Diddy while he's down with the new track, "TakeDat" ... ruthlessly appropriates the Bad Boy mogul's catchphrase, but that's far from the biggest shot on the venomous track.

Gucci opens the song spewing the social media favorite slogan, “I’m just f***ing around, but No Diddy” and proceeds to use that as the hook while also making a sly reference to Diddy's ex ... "I got a young Miami bitch from the city / I’m spending money like a trick (No Diddy).”

Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant doesn't think Taylor Swift has any famous songs ... even though he's been presented with evidence to the contrary.

The British musician blasted Taylor's A-list status while recently chatting with The Guardian -- claiming she doesn't have enough hits to make her as big of an icon as Michael Jackson. You can tell his hot take had mixed reactions by the way people respond in the crowd.

He says, "Taylor Swift sort of fascinates me as a phenomenon because she’s so popular, and I sort of quite like the whole thing, but then when I listen to the records … for a phenomenon as big, where are the famous songs? What’s Taylor Swift’s 'Billie Jean'?"

Todo el mundo pensaba que Machine Gun Kelly y Megan Fox habían terminado su relación, pero los dos estaban pasándolo muy bien en la fiesta de cumpleaños de MGK, y el hombre publicó la evidencia en sus redes.

Kelly compartió un carrusel de fotos en su IG el miércoles, que capturan un montón de momentos de su cumpleaños a principios de esta semana, el que parecía una velada llena de estrellas con gente como Post Malone, Tiffany Haddish, Evan Ross, Mod Sun, Amber Rose y otros.

Lo más importante, sin embargo, fue el hecho de que su ex-prometida, Megan, también estuviera en el grupo. Ambos se veían muy felices, a pesar de que las cosas han parecido difíciles para ellos.

Everyone thought Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox were over as a couple -- but the two of them were just hanging out for his 34th birthday ... and MGK posted the evidence.

Kelly threw up a carousel of pics Wednesday on his IG -- which captured a ton of moments from his birthday party earlier this week, which looked like a star-studded soiree featuring the likes of Post Malone, Tiffany Haddish, Evan Ross, Mod Sun, Amber Rose and others.

More importantly though was the fact that his ex-fiancée, Megan, was also in the mix ... and she and MGK looked pretty damn happy, despite the fact things have looked rocky for them.

4:48 PM PT -- Ye appears to have just made the Yeezy Porn announcement himself, with a not-so-cryptic post on X.

He's telling people to go to Yeezy.com ... but so far, there's nothing there that signals porn -- at least not yet anyway. Still, the fact he's teasing seems to suggest ... it is in fact coming.

Adam22 has some advice for Kanye West ahead of his new XXX venture -- and the biggest takeaway here is ... don't let Bianca Censori get banged on camera by other dudes.

We caught up with the podcaster-turned-adult entertainer Thursday in L.A., where he shared his thoughts on Yeezy Porn -- something Ye's trying to launch, and which Adam actually welcomes as a potential breath of fresh air.

As Adam puts it ... KW's creative vision could help spice things up in the industry -- which he says can get pretty stale sometimes with the same-old, same-old. But, Adam warns the Grammy winner to not mix business with pleasure ... as he knows the struggle firsthand.

Colt Ford is sharing his first health update in his own words since suffering from a heart attack -- and he's got one thing on his mind ... getting back onstage.

Even though he's got a tough road ahead, Colt's determined to come back in a big way. He thanks fans for their well wishes and also drops some wisdom, reminding folks to take care of themselves because life's curveballs can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

DaBaby could have his own hip hop battle going right now -- adjacent to Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar -- but it wouldn't have been authentic, so he rejected a mystery rapper's indecent proposal.

While speaking to Shaq and Adam Lefkoe on 'The Big Pod,' DaBaby claims a well-known lyricist propositioned him -- shortly before J. Cole apologized to Kendrick for engaging in beef cosplay -- to get their names looped in the headlines.

DaBaby says the unnamed rapper was amped seeing the attention Drake and Kendrick were getting and wanted to scoop some buzz by launching a fake feud in public ... while maintaining a tight relationship behind the scenes.

Matty Healy finalmente se está refiriendo a la canción de Taylor Swift sobre él, pero los fans no van a obtener el drama que podrían haber querido, todo lo contrario, de hecho.

El cantante de 1975 salió por Los Ángeles el miércoles y un fotógrafo le preguntó cómo clasificaría su diss track en comparación con los otros 30 del 11º álbum de estudio de Taylor, "The Tortured Poets Department".

Recuerden, la nueva canción de Taylor "But Daddy I Love Him" aparentemente menciona a Healy y las críticas que rodearon su aventura relámpago luego de su ruptura con Joe Alwyn el año pasado. Aunque se trata más que de una sola diss track para sus fans.

Matty Healy's finally responding to Taylor Swift's diss track aimed at him -- but, fans aren't gonna get the drama they might've hoped for from him ... just the opposite, in fact.

The 1975 singer stepped out in Los Angeles Wednesday ... and, a photog asked him how he'd rank his diss track compared to the other 30 on Taylor's 11th studio album "The Tortured Poets Department."

Remember ... Taylor's new song "But Daddy I Love Him" seemingly mentions Healy and the criticism surrounding their whirlwind fling following her breakup with longtime partner Joe Alwyn last year. More of a diss track to her fans, really ... but Matty's central to all of it.

Tupac Shakur's estate is laying down the law on Drake ... threatening to drag him to court for using an AI-generated version of the late rapper's voice for a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ has obtained the cease-and-desist letter fired off by the attorney for Tupac's estate, Howard King, and it calls out Drake for the AI verse on "Taylor Made Freestyle" ... saying, "Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity and the estate's legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time."

The estate goes on to say it would never have given approval for this -- and it issues an ultimatum: take down the track in less than 24 hours, and explain how it was made ... or else.

Kid Cudi won't be raging around the globe anytime soon ... his recently broken foot will require surgery and a recovery time that will keep him from touring, this according to him.

Cudi broke the news to fans on Wednesday -- saying that his Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour was canceled for good as he prepared to go under the knife.

He promised to revamp the tour once he returns back to health but is unsure when that will be ... apparently, the injury is more severe than he first thought.
