Stephan Jenkins from Third Eye Blind is setting the record straight about the confrontation between his band and Mötley Crüe in "Pam & Tommy." It never happened, because he's never even met them.

The Hulu series -- about Pamela Anderson and drummer Tommy Lee's marriage -- features a scene where the band has their studio time swiped by Third Eye Blind, and shows Tommy Lee barging in to confront them.

Well, TEB's lead singer tells us that's total fiction -- he says he doesn't know any Crüe members, and hadn't even heard their music at that time ... but the intent of the scene was making a point about the industry. This was first reported by Variety.

Stephan says Third Eye and Crüe were on the same record label, and studio time tends to be limited. Sometimes resources go to the less established -- like TEB was compared to Crüe at the time -- and that does ruffle some feathers.

"Pam & Tommy" started streaming earlier this month, but Stephan says he hasn't seen it yet. He found out they were in it from his manager. He also gets into the backlash he has gotten from comments he has made since the series aired.

An up-and-coming rapper from the ATL is drawing a line in the sand over who can and can't claim her turf -- and by default ... kinda ostracizes A LOT of big names that rep her home.

The young MC is Omeretta The Great, and she's got a new single out -- "Sorry Not Sorry" -- that has folks from the Greater Atlanta Metro Area in a full-blown tizzy about who's actually from there, and who's not.

You gotta see what Omeretta considers "Atlanta" -- she kinda turns it into a local geography lesson, getting very specific.

On the NOT ATLANTA list: Forest Park, Lindbergh, Roswell, Gwinnett and Clayton County, Lithonia, Decatur and much of the north and south parts of town (like College Park and East Point, for example).

While she doesn't exactly spell out where her city limits are exactly, it seems like OTG might be relying on zoned districts that officials/cops use to map out Atlanta proper.

If true, then there's a good handful of legendary artists that she's divided into two camps -- those with actual ATL roots, and those without.

Based on what she's saying here, one could surmise that she might think rappers and singers like Ludacris, OutKast, Monica, Young Joc, 2 Chainz and others are NOT from Atlanta. They mostly grew up in the outskirts, to the south of the main city or elsewhere.

By the same token, Omeretta also seems to be saying the Migos aren't from Atlanta, as they hail from Lawrenceville (part of Gwinnett Co.) -- which is less controversial, since that's low-key far from Atlanta itself.

Those who could be safe in Omeretta's eyes ... Future (Kirkwood), Lil Baby (Oakland City), T.I. (Bankhead) and Gucci Mane (East Atlanta). Their stomping grounds seem to be within actual Atlanta borders, as it were.

Now, as you might imagine ... the response from "Atlanta Twitter" is fierce ... with many actually agreeing with Omeretta, and others saying she's being way too territorial for no freakin' reason. Also of note, she went and shot this video at Truist Park -- about 10 miles north of downtown -- which isn't lost on people ... and appears to contradict her point.

None of the icons mentioned above appear to have responded to Omeretta’s in-or-out club headcount just yet ... but wouldn't it be something if they did, and actually made a song about it???

Paris Jackson is following in her late dad's footsteps ... dropping an album and revealing how death becomes an inevitability in certain songs of hers.

Michael Jackson's 23-year-old daughter was a surprise guest at the St. Regis Resort in Aspen, where she performed songs from her newly-released album.

A small audience was clearly into the tunes and the stories. Paris talked about being inspired to write about her breakup with an ex-boyfriend -- a breakup on Valentine's Day!!! And, does this sound familiar ... "I hope you like it, I know he won't."

Paris then told the small crowd, "I don't write happy songs. So, when I do try to write a love song it usually ends up being a song about me dying. So, that's what this one is, it's called 'Yellow Bird.'"

Bing Crosby’s former estate -- where the movie star and plenty of his A-list friends called home -- is officially off the market in a $4,150,000 deal.

The Crosby pad sits on 1.36 acres in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Rancho Mirage. The place has panoramic views, including a stunning view of the mountains with a pool and spa, bar, theater room, putting green and an outdoor kitchen.

Back in the day, the property hosted the likes of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

In fact, JFK frequented the estate so often, there’s a guest house called the “JFK Wing.”

The home — which features 6,700 sq ft of living space and 5 bedrooms — was first listed back in Dec. 2021 for $4.5M, so the sale price is slightly under ask, but a hefty chunk of change nonetheless.

Bob Saget will be remembered for many incredible things ... but, being Desiigner's personal chef definitely isn't one we saw coming.

You heard that right! Saget plays a money-catching chef in Desiigner's music video, "Bakin" -- and it turns out to be one of the last roles he ever shot.

The video opens with Snoop Dogg suggesting Desiigner, "get Bob on the job" ... and we then see Saget whipping up bacon, catching cash and vibin' to the music alongside pornstar Kendra Sunderland.

The song’s co-writer and producer DJ Whoo Kid said folks on set didn't believe Saget would play the chef ... until he showed up. He told Rolling Stone rappers normally pull up in fancy cars, but Saget rolled up and parked his Lexus on the grass, "looking like a dad.”

Ex-'SNL' star Jay Pharoah is also in the video, and says, “It’s so funny because this video is a testament to what Bob Saget was on stage.”

The "Bakin" music video was actually shot back in December ... just a few weeks before Saget was found dead in his Orlando hotel room. The end of the vid now reads "Rest In Peace Bob Saget" and shows footage from the shoot.

Justin Bieber is shelling out some sweet VIP upgrades for fans attending his highly-anticipated world tour ... and all they gotta do to win is help make the world a better place!

JB's Justice World Tour is just around the corner, and the singer is offering up some serious incentives for fans who get involved with causes to help criminal justice reform, voting and climate action.

As for what the prizes include ... fans can score VIP seat upgrades, and even a meet-and-greet with the man himself in Paris.

The tour -- which is hitting more than 20 countries -- is teaming up with activist group Propeller to give away these sweet prizes to Beliebers. Every night on tour, Justin and co. will be raising awareness of multiple causes -- some local, some global -- and by signing petitions or donating, fans will be entered to win a ticket upgrade... moving to some of the best spots in the house!

Justin isn't shy when it comes to helping out ... you'll recall, Bieber partnered with Canadian donut chain Tim Hortons, boosting their drop in sales back through the roof!

Drake's got some new custom bling on his finger ... and it even comes with a shoutout to his kid.

Celebrity jeweler Alex Moss tells TMZ ... he just finished up a lucky No. 11 ring for Drake, made of gold and diamonds.

The No. 11 is significant ... it's the day Drake's son, Adonis, was born ... and the jeweler says Drake wanted to incorporate the date in the design.

As you see, there's also owl imagery ... with the bird's wings wrapping around to form the ring. It's par for the course for Drake, who uses the owl because his brand "OVO" resembles an owl face.

We're told the bling cost $77,000 ... it weighs in at 83 grams, with 14 karat gold and 15.7 carats of VVS D-F natural diamonds.

The jeweler toiled over the piece for about 2 months ... and we're told it was a gift to Drake from Kai Bent-Lee, the restaurateur and son of famous Canadian celeb chef Susur Lee.

Justin Bieber deserves an attaboy for saving a coffee chain ... with a hole lot of ingenious promotion.

The Biebs partnered with a Canadian coffee chain called Tim Hortons, and boy did they need help. Sales fell 11% in 2020, largely because of the pandemic. It needed some life support ... enter Justin Bieber.

JB and Hortons created a line of doughnut holes with a name mashup -- Timbiebs Timbits. Justin himself was heavily involved in selecting the flavors, and they did not disappoint -- white fudge, sour cream chocolate chip and birthday cake waffle.

Well, talk about a turnaround. A year later the company has seen a rise in sales to the tune of 10.3%, and Company Prez Jose Cil credits his partner for the major uptick, saying "I'm a Belieber!"

BTW ... Tim Hortons' parent company owns Burger King and Popeyes, so if there's a trickle-down effect you can also thank Bieber for your Whopper or Chicken Sandwich.

BTW ... in addition to rising sales, Justin helped bring in younger donut fans. No surprise, with 220 million followers. When Justin says go try my holes, people listen!

There have been a bunch of celeb endorsements of restaurants recently ... Mickey D's recently had deals with BTS, Saweetie, Mariah Carey and J Balvin.

Bieber was genuinely a fan of Tim Hortons ... especially the donut holes, so maybe his endorsement sounded more authentic than most.

Chaney Jones is definitely in Kanye West’s orbit -- but after this latest outing with Travis Scott, you kinda wonder ... who's she really with, anyway???

The IG model/Kim K look-alike was spotted leaving a Dave & Buster’s very early Monday morning in L.A., where TS was also in attendance for a Super Bowl after-party that went late into the night. Rappers Gunna, Lil Baby, Swae Lee and their entourages were all in tow as well.

Travis seemed to be heading out solo, ditto for Chaney. Neither of them was spotted together upon exiting. The interesting thing, of course, is that there’s no Ye in sight here -- and he’s definitely the dude she’s been linked to a lot lately ... at least on the surface.

As you know, CJ has crashed two different events Kanye was also attending -- an album listening party and a movie screening. And, although the two of them have never been photographed together, most people assume she’s someone Ye is seeing at the moment.

And yet ... here she is without him in the mix, seemingly cozying up to Travis and co.

Travis has been out on the town quite a bit lately, despite the fact he just welcomed a new baby with Kylie Jenner ... who’s been at home with the kid. As you know, his name is Wolf -- and he's all of 13 days old now.

Speaking of Trav's baby mama, she proudly showed off a wild flower arrangement he appears to have gotten her for Valentine’s Day.

Kodak Black is out of the hospital after being shot in the leg ... and he very clearly needs help getting around.

Check out this video TMZ obtained, showing Kodak leaving Cedars-Sinai Monday afternoon in Los Angeles ... as you can see, he's using a walker and moving pretty slowly.

Kodak's also got a ton of bodyguards around him as he climbs into the back of a black SUV ... and for good reason.

As we reported, Kodak was among 4 people hit with bullets in a shooting that broke out early Saturday morning following Justin Bieber's after-party at the Nice Guy.

Remember, Kodak was struck in the leg and taken to the hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Dr. Dre has no problem admitting it, he's a little hungover after celebrating his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance -- one of the best ever -- and he says the party is STILL going!!!

The D-R-E joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" and, in his own words, he was still "buzzing" about what he, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar pulled off on Super Sunday.

First off ... that amazing performance. Dre says he went into rehearsals expecting the NFL to heavily censor the songs, but was pleasantly surprised that they only made "minor changes" -- among them, Kendrick's reference to specific L.A. gangs.

Dre says he gets why they called for that to be removed.

As for Eminem taking a knee as an homage to Colin Kaepernick -- Dre says that's something Marshall decided to do on his own, and he never heard the NFL say a peep about it.

After the show, Dre told us they were all feeling the love from roughly 70,000 fans inside SoFi Stadium -- not to mention the millions upon millions watching around the world.

He says he toasted their success with a dinner, and then went to his house to hang with friends ... including Don Cheadle and Mary J. BTW, he broke some big news about her!!!

And, then he gave us the scoop on his own personal celebration that involved a fast-food run. You gotta see this ... Dre says his trainer's gonna be pissed, but hey ... we can all agree the Doc earned himself a large order of fries. Right?

Eminem paid tribute to Colin Kaepernick on the biggest of stages at the Super Bowl ... spurring discussion (and some confusion) as to whether the NFL was kosher with the move.

The rapper ended his portion of his set Sunday at SoFi Stadium by dropping down to his knee with his head low, and holding the position for a good while as things transitioned over to Dr. Dre again.

Eventually, he got up and took his place among the other performers -- but what only amounted to about 30 seconds or so ended speaking volumes in the NFL’s backyard.

Of course, the question is ... was it sanctioned or not??? Well, depends on who you ask ... and how you interpret the NFL's official response. There are reports saying the move was forbidden by higher-ups, but a rep for the league went on record Sunday ... saying they’d seen Em take a knee during rehearsals, and were well aware it was included.

Whether they ever asked him not to is a different story -- and not necessarily addressed in the guy's statement here. But, it’s irrelevant now -- the dude did it, and by doing so ... definitely invoked the memory of Kap.

As you know, the ex-QB spent his final year or so in the league doing just this before each game, all in the name of social justice.

Eminem has voiced support for the cause, and it seems he wanted to make a point about it during the most important moment of the broadcast.

Author and activist Michael Eric Dyson saw it live at SoFi, and gave Em major props for the gesture.

It's a new year, and for Fat Joe, that means a new Rolls-Royce ... he just got his custom ride, and it's worth around $450K.

The NY rapper ordered his 2022 RR Cullinan months ago, and he had it delivered straight to car designer Will Castro from the show 'Unique Rides' ... in true Fat Joe fashion.

Will Castro tells TMZ ... he and Joe decided on the name "Mandarin Oriental Edition" after pimping out his ride with two-tone matte black wrap and mandarin orange accents.

The factory chrome was wrapped in gloss black ... and the interior includes some pretty sweet features like a shooting star headliner, custom Mandarin orange leather with matching key fob and lambswool floor mats.

Fat Joe isn't new to the game. He's worked with Will on all of his cars over the last 20 years ... and of course, his many Rolls-Royces.

Fat Joe actually picked up a new Rolls-Royce in 2019 and took it to Will to get it decked out ... that time, he also spent nearly a half mil.

Lizzo may have had more fun than any celeb Saturday night, lovin' life as she left a Super Bowl Weekend party and talked about where she's hiding those piercings!!!

Lizzo hit up the h.wood Group and REVOLVE's party where Drake performed at the Pacific Design Center, and she said right out of the gate she wants a call from Cardi B -- who's now the creative director of Playboy -- saying she wants a spread in the mag.

Our photog clearly saw Lizzo's TikTok vid Saturday ... revealing she had a piercing party for her team ... a thank you for working extra hard.

The question seemed innocent enough ... so where are those piercings? Lizzo was more than happy to tell us.

She did say she has piercings all over her body, but one clearly holds a special place in her heart!

Megan Thee Stallion was in top form Saturday night as she performed along with Doja Cat and Lil Baby at Michael Rubin's Fanatics Super Bowl LVI party in Culver City.

Megan rocked a leather mini and looked super glam as she entertained the crowd.

The guest list was impressive, to say the least ... Ciara, Russell Wilson, Quavo, Meek Mill, Rachel Lindsay, A$AP Ferg, Robert Kraft, Kevin Hart, Guy Fieri, J Balvin, Jasmine Tookes, Jerome Bettis, Joan Smalls, Joe Montana, Jonathan Cheban, Josephine Skriver, Dr. Oz, Erin Andrews and Eli Manning, Noah Beck, Dixie and Charli D'Amelio.

Notably ... Travis Scott was also at the bash.

This may be the best ticket in town for Super Bowl weekend. It's the party that's been building as the marquis celebration.

Most other parties are open if you can buy a ticket. This one's strictly invite-only, but scalpers have found a way to make a buck ... lots of bucks.

Megan wasn't done with her evening .. she showed up at another soiree in Hollywood at the Sunset Room. She and Diplo performed for the crowd at the Hall of Fame Party.

Drake and Future rocked the Pacific Design Center Saturday night as a house packed with celebs celebrated the lead-up to Super Bowl Sunday!

As for who was there at the bash hosted by the h.wood Group and REVOLVE ... Lizzo, Teyana Taylor, Cardi B, Offset, Cheryl Burke, Victoria Justice, Jack Harlow, Busta Rhymes, Larsa Pippen, Jack Dorsey, Scooter Braun, Ray J, Princess Love, Cedric the Entertainer, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Logan Paul, Jon Hamm, Lais Ribeiro, Jamie Foxx, Stassi Karanikolaou and Josie Canseco.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were front and center as he seemed to ignore everything around him as he embraced and kissed his wife ... and rubbed her butt!!! They danced super close during the show.

JB is clearly into Drake's music. You see him throw his arms up in the air as he feels the beat and mouthes the lyrics.

Bieber took the stage the night before at the same venue, where guests included Drake, Leo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian.
