Hollywood stars showed out in droves to support their hometown team in the World Series ... packing Dodger Stadium to cheer on the Blue Crew as they faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling Game 5.

Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted on the broadcast ... keeping it low-key in an all-black outfit and a fresh pair of shades.

"Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper made her first World Series appearance -- joining fellow celebs Charlize Theron and Ellen Pompeo in the stands.

Naturi Naughton will be working on set through Halloween this year, but she's warning new relationships to watch for the red flags ... if their partner isn't that open to a COUPLES COSTUME!!!

TMZ linked up with Naturi at the premiere of her and Lifetime's new flick, "Friends and Lovers," where the seasoned actress gave her two cents about trick-or-treating as a team.

We totally asked the right person ... Naturi says Halloween is a big deal in her household -- and her daughter is totally PO'ed that she has to miss this year -- but her husband will hold down the fright night fort.

50 Cent's "BMF" series is finally a done deal after Starz pulled the plug after 4 seasons, but the G-Unit filmmaker isn't broken up one bit ... on the flipside, he's trolling lead star Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. for not having a fallback plan!!!

It's been all bad between 50 and Meech since that ill-fated link-up with Rick Ross ... and Tuesday, 50 rubbed the "BMF" cancellation news in Meech's face with a photoshopped image to make him look like a bum, sarcastically quipping, "What next season, little ninja"!!!

Starz had been in production talks for months about bringing the series -- based on the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family crime empire -- but consider that plan kaput now that 50's dancing on the show's grave.

Dee-1 and Jim Jones used the Cash Money-No Limit Verzuz battleground of all places to put PEACE on display -- after their testy back-and-forth made headlines a couple years ago!!!

The confrontation went down in the back area of the Las Vegas Convention Center during ComplexCon last weekend. Jim spotted Dee first and extended his hand ... the two dapped each other up and encouraged the other to "keep going" with their rap hustles.

To add to the diplomatic immunity, Juelz Santana witnessed the moment and embraced Dee on the spot while saluting his mission vision. Juelz's endorsement of their patch-up further highlights the impact of the reconciliation and recognition.

Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla enjoyed a "Hot Girl Summer" last year through a joint tour, but it looks like "Winter is coming" ... because Glo just co-signed a very nasty social media post about Megan!!!

X user @gymratgyal successfully instigated GloRilla's internal emotions when she fired off the message, "We all know she started being bitter after she was outsold by glorilla lmfaoooo" -- and GloRilla liked the post!!!

Gymratgyal saved the receipts and Glo's reaction highlighted a deeper rift between her and Megan's camps ... their stylists are also getting snippy!!!

Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist welcomed a surprise guest to the stage during their 2nd sold-out Los Angeles tour date -- Anderson .Paak, who was in full Halloween spirit, dressed like the iconic maniacal doll Chucky!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Freddie and Anderson performing their "Alfredo 2" collab, "Ensalada," live for the first time ever together, inside The Novo DTLA.

As an ode to the album's Japanese theme, Freddie has been performing in karate gis to bring his lyrical slaughterhouse to life ... A.P. did it as Charles Lee Ray.

"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" alum Masika Kalysha is opening up about the painful loss of her husband in a horrible accident ... calling the death of Jamar Champ "tragic" and "unexpected."

Masika issued a statement to The Shade Room, confirming the bad news that Champ was killed Tuesday when his Cybertruck got into a three-vehicle crash in Houston, Texas.

The reality star noted Champ was the "father/stepfather of my beautiful daughters" and asked for respect and understanding while their family grieves him and honors his memory.

Dorothy Wang lived out her dream wedding in Italy ... closing out the festivities with an iced-out performance from Saweetie!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Saweetie performing her hit "Icy" from inside Dorothy and attorney Brandon Yankowitz's wedding reception inside the luxurious Collegio alla Querce venue in Florence.

We're told the "Bling Empire" star personally had Saweetie booked and flown in for the grand appearance. Saweetie has yet to release a full-length album, but we're hearing she performed about 10 songs.

11:54 AM PT -- Master P has confirmed Young Bleed is still battling in the hospital and pleaded with his millions of followers to pray for the rapper.

Baton Rouge rapper Young Bleed is currently in an ICU in serious condition -- just days after having the world shout "How you do dat there" during his grand appearance at ComplexCon.

Bogus media reports pronounced the 47-year-old rapper dead on Tuesday, but Young Bleed's sister, Tedra, sent out a defiant message on behalf of his family, stating that he was still alive in the ICU.

Bleed's mom says she was inundated with calls and social media posts from people in mourning after the fake news spread online. So, she and the rest of Bleed's family demanded everyone STOP reaching out to her and posting RIP messages!!!

On Saturday, Bleed was full of energy when he performed his signature hit, "How Ya Do That" for ComplexCon, but we're told he's since suffered a major medical emergency.

SZA’s pulling back the curtain on her spooky season -- and forget tricks, she’s turning up the heat with a dangerously sexy treat.

The star lit up IG Tuesday with a series of pics -- rocking a skintight blue fit and serving poses so fierce, even horror’s scariest villains would think twice before coming for her!

The pics were a full roundup of her recent antics -- from fire fits and tennis court slays to all kinds of autumn fun.

Silkk The Shocker thinks both No Limit and Cash Money Records came away with W's at the  ComplexCon-hosted Verzuz -- and turns out, there will be more in store between him and Juvenile!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Silkk at ComplexCon as he watched the WNBA living legend A'ja Wilson's Chase Cashback event, and he had nothing but praise for his Cash Money brothers -- their NOLA-themed Verzuz was all about unifying!!!

Silkk performed his #1 rap hit "It Ain't My Fault" from 1998 -- sans the incarcerated Mystikal -- but he still had No Limit Soldiers, Fiend and Mac to back him up onstage.

Juvenile was front and center at the Cash Money and No Limit Verzuz at ComplexCon, telling TMZ Hip Hop that his shining moment was performing his classic dance burner, "Slow Motion!!!"

We caught up with Juve The Great at Mass Appeal's "Legend Has It" booth inside ComplexCon, and the Louisiana rap legend says playing his New Orleans big brass sound for the Vegas crowd was a real treat -- mainly because he was able to memorialize his late homie, rapper Soulja Slim.

Juvenile and Slim topped the Billboard Hot 100 with "Slow Motion" back in 2004 -- several months after Slim was murdered, making their collaboration even more historic. As you know, Slim was fatally shot in New Orleans by a gunman still at large.

Rappers are taking their beefs from the studio to the courtroom these days ... Cam'ron just sued J. Cole over their song "Ready '24."

In court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Cam'ron claims he wrote lyrics and dropped a verse on the song in exchange for Cole agreeing to collaborate with him on a future project or at least appear on Cam's popular "It Is What It Is" podcast. Cam alleges that 2 years after the recording, J. Cole neglected to do either.

Cam says "Ready 24" was recorded back in 2022, and from July 2023 till April 2024, Cam says he continued to communicate with Cole, who repeatedly stated he was unavailable for the podcast. Cam also says the subsequent music collaboration between them never materialized, despite efforts by Cam to put it together.

GloRilla and Brandon Ingram are making a case for the NBA's new favorite power couple ... 'cause fans went wild when the Raptors star landed a kiss on his rapper girlfriend right at her courtside seats!!

The cute moment happened when Ingram and the Toronto Raptors faced the Mavericks in Dallas on Sunday.

Glo was posted up courtside with her friend, EJ King -- and she made it crystal clear she's Ingram's loudest cheerleader.

It appears the olive branch DDG extended to Halle Bailey earlier this month may be working ... 'cause they both agreed to drop their domestic violence order requests against one another.

In a new stipulation filed by the parties and signed off on by the judge, the exes worked out temporary custody issues for their 1-year-old, Halo, while agreeing to dismiss their respective DVRO requests. They each reserved the right to resurrect the DV claims in the event of any future incident of abuse ... but, it's a start to show they're trying to move past their differences.

As for custody, they've worked out a temporary arrangement that gives DDG custody on Wednesdays and certain weekends.

Jay-Z is defending Bad Bunny's selection as the Super Bowl halftime show performer ... he says Americans really love them some Benito.

We got Hov in New York City on Monday and our photog asked him about all the hate getting thrown Bad Bunny's way ... seeing as some folks have been very vocal in blasting the decision to go with him, including President Trump.

Jay-Z is the guy to ask here ... his Roc Nation has been working with the NFL since 2019 to pick the Super Bowl halftime show performers.
