Big Sean also performed Friday ... he brought out the always awesome/adventurous Mike Posner. Lots of throwbacks, including Posner's "Cooler Than Me."
Mike posted after the show ... "From my mom's basement all the way to Coachella - what a journey it's been. Proud to have shared the stage with you again @BigSean. 🙏"
Sean also brought out GF Jhene Aiko.
And, let's not forget Daniel Caesar, who brought out Justin Bieber during Week 1. This time around the guest was Omar Apollo.
Coachella 2022 is getting mixed reviews, but all in all it seems like a blast.

Madonna Lists Massive Hidden Hills Estate For $25.9M
Madonna just can't keep still, because she's selling the massive estate she bought just a year ago.
Madge just listed her Hidden Hills home for just under $26 million ... in case you've followed her real estate moves, she bought the house last year from The Weeknd for $19.3 mil, so she's banking on a sizeable profit.
The house is 12,000 square feet, with 9 bedrooms. Among the bells and whistles ... a theater, music lounge, indoor/outdoor bar and the obligatory SoCal pool.
And, then there are even cooler features, like a barn, a gym and a dance studio.
The real estate market is cooling a bit in the L.A. area, like in other parts of the country, largely because interest rates have soared recently. That may not have an impact on this sale, because whoever can afford the house probably doesn't care whether the interest rate is 3% or 5%.
Madonna won't be struggling to find a place to call home ... she has homes in New York, London, Beverly Hills and Lisbon.
Trevor Wright of The Beverly Hills Estates has the listing.

The Weeknd isn't about to lose his groove for weekend two of Coachella ... hopping onstage Wednesday night to DJ and sing at a big Hollywood bash.
Check out the video ... T.W.'s clearly feeling it, dancing around as he DJs. At one point, he jumps onstage and sings with Kaytranada and Zack Bia.
As for who hit up the party at the Terminal 27 party ... Leo DiCaprio, Timothee Chalamet, Willow Smith, YG, Alexander Wang, Hunter Schafer, Dominic Fike, Daniel Caesar, Beck and The Martinez Brothers.
Abel had a pretty big weekend a few days back ... headlining Coachella last Sunday with Swedish Mafia House.
The Weekend and SMH had an epic night, performing for a massive crowd on night 3 ... taking the stage together and each doing their own songs.
Screw the concept of resting up ... Weeknd's revved up for this coming Sunday, when he'll headline again in the desert near Palm Springs.
The Weeknd was a last-minute sub for Kanye, who bailed 2 weeks before Coachella, but fans don't seem upset at Ye's replacement ... not at all.

Cheech & Chong Smoke Weed With Cops In Music Video ... 4/20 Fun With Snoop, Klypso & Doggface

Exclusive

Cheech & Chong are celebrating 4/20 in the only way they know how -- smoking a fat blunt -- while puff, puff, passing with cops in a new music video.
The iconic comedy stoner duo is teaming up with Doggface, the viral Fleetwood Mac skateboarder from 2020, for his first rapping debut in "Low Rider" ... blazing up a fatty in the video, and prompting a visit from police.
The video's release date is April 20, the unofficial marijuana holiday, so naturally, the police actors start sharing the blunt with Cheech, Chong and Doggface, some real reefer madness.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Doggface's first song -- titled "Low Rider" -- is Klypso's and it features War and another well-known stoner, Snoop Dogg, who doesn't shy away from smoking on camera either.
George Lopez even makes a cameo ... parking it up too!!!
As we first told you ... the music vid was filmed over 4 days at Snoop's compound and a Burbank studio and cost around $300k to produce, with Snoop getting nearly $100k, and a big chunk going to production.
The song is a stoner's spin-off of the original (by War) and the celeb cast makes sense ... remember, Cheech and Chong played the OG "Low Rider" in their iconic movie, "Up in Smoke" ... and the tune doubles as the theme song for George's self-titled sitcom, "George Lopez."
Happy 4/20 ... don't try smoking with cops at home!!!

Tiffany Haddish I'm Diving Into Music ... But Doing It Through TV/Movies!!!

Tiffany Haddish has something cooking in the kitchen -- but it ain't a comedy thing, it's music ... and she says she's hoping she can make it pay dividends.
The comedian/actress dished about her new musical endeavor to a photog Tuesday night out at the Mint Room Studios in Glendale, where it appears she was in the middle of some recording sessions for a collection of original tunes she's pulling together.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Before you run off thinking Tiff's about to drop an album, listen to the clip first ... because she makes it clear there's no such project in the works, although she is laying down tracks.
As TH explains -- these songs aren't for streaming, per se, but more so for TV and film use. Tiffany obviously understands where the dough is in the biz, and it ain't in traditional music releases ... but more so in residuals, which she's trying to cash in on right now.
No word on what exactly her vibe feels like or how these songs might sound -- but we DO know Tiff can carry a tune ... and we're also hearing she's recruiting the likes of Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and even Beyonce for this project of hers. So, let your imagination run wild.
Tiffany's been doing A LOT of series and films lately -- namely, her Apple show "The After Party" and the new Nic Cage movie, 'Unbearable Weight' -- and it sounds like she's eager to capitalize on that work to the max. Gotta respect her hustle and entrepreneurship!

Josh Groban Still Wearing A Mask On Planes 'I Use My Lungs For A Living!'

Josh Groban isn't ditching his mask in the air, despite the new rule allowing people to fly without covering their mouth and nose ... and he has reasons why.
We got Josh at LAX Tuesday, and he puts it plainly -- his voice is his livelihood, so extra protection is needed.
Josh acknowledges he may be in the minority -- people on his flight were cheering when the captain came on and said masks were no longer required. But, Josh has a different, personal point of view ... partly because of his parents. There's also the business of touring that makes going maskless problematic.
A federal judge ruled Monday the CDC's mandatory mask policy on planes was illegal. The Justice Dept. has said if the CDC wants to appeal they will oblige. For now ... no masks.
On a completely separate subject, we ask Josh about a bug named after Taylor Swift. Yeah, we asked that.

Drake and Taylor Swift are NOT about to drop new music together ... despite a social media post from Drizzy fueling rumors about a potential collab in the works.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … sadly there is NO collab between Drake and Taylor that is about to be released, and Champagne Papi's Instagram post from Monday is just a throwback photo with no hidden message.
As we reported ... the OVO rapper posted a photo dump on IG, which included a photo of him with his arm around Taylor. Drake captioned the post, "They too soft to understand the meaning of hard work".
Our sources say there's nothing behind the pic other than memories ... and the photo with T-Swift is from a few years ago, sometime in 2017 or 2018.
The way Joe took this video the same exact day Taylor and Drake took that picture together. Same outfit, hair, and she’s wearing the hair tie in both the video and picture 😭 pic.twitter.com/vKs6IHKufT

Drake and Taylor are friends with a long history ... and the post and caption led many to believe Drizzy was signaling new music ... but we're told it's just a harmless throwback post.

Roderick "Pooh" Clark, an original member of Hi-Five, has died.
Marcus Sanders, fellow Hi-Five member, tells TMZ ... Roderick died on Sunday from complications from an infection and pneumonia at a hospital in Waco, TX.
He tells us Roderick got into a car crash 30 years ago in Florida that left him paralyzed from the neck down, making him unable to walk. He developed an infection that spread through his body -- one that persisted for some time.
He also developed pneumonia over the last 2 weeks, being in and out of the hospital up until his death.
Those close to Roderick have been posting tributes to the late singer online, including the band's musical director Martinez Little, saying, "We had some amazing phone conversations in the past and some great visits when I came thru Waco! I'll cherish them forever."
Roderick and his quintet group of R&B singers formed in 1989 ... other than him and Marcus, they also had bandmates Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, and Toriano Easley. They reached the top of the charts in 1991 with their hit, "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)."
Roderick was 49.
RIP

Drake Posts Photo With Taylor Swift ... Music Collab in the Works???
If it's one thing Drake is good at, it's making a hit song ... and his latest photo with Taylor Swift has us thinking there could be one in the works with the pop artist.
The OVO rapper dropped a series of photos on Instagram, Monday ... and the last of five is with no one other than pop star, T-Swift.
It's not clear if it is a throwback photo or if it was taken recently ... but Drizzy captioned the gallery saying, "They too soft to understand the meaning of hard work".
And, he could be on to something ... both Taylor and Drake have worked super hard and rose from the ranks in the music industry. Drake's been bestowed the award of Artist of the Decade by Billboard and Taylor was named Billboard’s Greatest Pop Star of 2021.
Of course, a music collab wouldn't be the biggest stretch ... Taylor and the Champagne Papi have been friends for a minute. They've been spotted together as far back as 2013, at the MTV Video Music Awards.
In Taylor's 2019 song "I Forgot That You Existed" she sings ... "And I couldn't get away from ya. In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah."
Maybe they'll be sharing their feelings together on the same track soon?!? 👀

Billie Eilish Headlines Coachella Day 2 ... Sorry I'm Not Beyonce!!!

She sang a bunch of hits from her first 2 albums, but before doing so she eyeballed the crowd to make sure there were no bad seats. BTW ... she and Finneas didn't perform "No Time To Die," a song for which they just won an Oscar. Also missing from the set ... "Nobody Like You."
Khalid jumped on stage to perform "Lovely" with B.E., and the crowd ate it up.
Near the end of the set, she also brought out Blur, Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad and the Queen frontman Damon Albarn.
And then she got humble and funny ... "I should not be headlining this s***, but I'm so f***ing grateful to be here!" And then she added, "I'm sorry I'm not Beyonce."

Travis Scott I Couldn't Make Coachella ... But I'm Here for the After-Party!!!
-
Exclusive
- 368 shares
Travis Scott didn't get to perform on any official Coachella lineup this year -- following the Astroworld tragedy -- but he settled for the next best thing ... an after-party.
The rapper got on the mic early Sunday morning during the Bootsy Bellows get-together in nearby La Quinta, where we're told he got onstage around 3 AM (about an hour before things were set to start shutting down) and cranked out 5 of his songs from the DJ booth.
As you can see ... it was a very stripped-down and limited show, similar to what he did at a pre-Oscars party last month. Travis was keeping it relatively chill as far as energy ... nothing compared to what he might normally do at a regular concert.
At one point, Trav even played DJ ... pulling double duty, and the remaining crowd that was there seemed to dig it. It's safe to say, the guy's testing the waters slowly but surely ... and it would appear he's still very much got an audience that's down to see him.
Of course, Travis making an appearance in the vicinity of Coachella is interesting in and of itself -- as you know, he was slated to headline until he got bumped over Astroworld -- but there was still some hope he could cameo seeing how Kanye West was hired ... and there were rumblings he might bring Travis out during his set.
That fell through, so it was all but certain TS wouldn't pop up on stage there in Indio.
Plus, there seemed to be bad blood between him and Billie Eilish -- at least from the outside looking in -- who sorta took shots at him during a concert of hers a few months back -- even though she downplayed any animosity toward him specifically when confronted by Ye.
All things considered, it's probably best that Travis missed Coachella this time around. He clearly isn't too far removed though ... time will tell if and when he makes a full comeback.

The Beatles Childhood Homes ... Take A Tour!

The Beatles' childhood homes helped shape the artists that would take over the world ... and they're now in perfect condition for vacationers who want to visit or even stay.
George Harrison's Liverpool home has been recently renovated ... it's now an Airbnb thanks to superfan Ken Lambert. He snagged the property at auction back in November with a $250k bid.
The house doubles as a museum for weekly tours. The band rehearsed there in the late '50s -- back when they called themselves The Quarrymen.
Other band members' childhood homes have been preserved for tours as well ... including Paul McCartney's place in Allerton, a suburb of Liverpool. The house is owned by the National Trust and takes guests back in time to the way it looked when the bandmates were kids.
Paul and John Lennon birthed some classics at that house ... "I Saw Her Standing There" was written in the front room.
John's place on Menlove Ave. was the inspiration for "Please Please Me."
Maybe that talent will rub off if you take the tour!
