Kelly Clarkson, Kelsea Ballerini and Carly Pearce all have one very significant life experience in common, and it's not just being super talented and famous ... they're all recent divorcees and will be hitting the stage together for the first time to sing about lousy men.

Production sources from the upcoming Country Music Association Awards tell TMZ the trio are planning a very big and powerful performance of Kelsea's song "You're Drunk, Go Home" next month.

The song's all about female empowerment, about guys who hit on women at bars after they've had too much to drink. Both Kelly and Carly were on the song's original release -- and Kelly actually got drunk herself when they got together to record it -- so they clearly all have a good time together.

Both Kelly and Carly filed for divorce in June 2020 ... Kelly from Brandon Blackstock after 7 years of marriage and Carly from Michael Ray after less than a year.

TMZ broke the story ... it was in March when Kelly and Brandon reached a settlement -- she got primary custody and he gets $115,000 a month in spousal support until 2024.

As for Kelsea, she pulled the plug on her 5-year marriage with Morgan Evans in August, and she's been very open about how tough divorce can be ... recently posting an emotional confessional from the bathtub.

So, given the shared lifetime experiences, the whole girl gang collab at country music's biggest night makes a whole lotta sense.

Post Malone's concert stages have it out for him, because he got a fresh injury -- a banged-up ankle -- at his show in Atlanta, just one month after busting a rib onstage.

PM was in Atlanta for his Twelve Carat Tour when he took a wrong step up during his performance of "Psycho" and twisted his ankle so badly, he had to go down on his knees.

Check out the clip -- Post tried to keep it going Tuesday night, but the pain was too much ... and stagehands eventually rushed to his side to see what happened.

He hobbled back up to the mic to fill in the fans ... saying he twisted his ankle because of a gap in the stage meant for pyrotechnics.

The show went on, although Posty admitted the dance moves were gonna have to suffer because of the injury.

Those stage gaps are no joke for Post -- as we reported, he stepped into a hole in the floor at last month's St. Louis show. That one was way worse than his ATL ankle.

He eventually went to the hospital for the rib injury, and had to postpone a show in Boston ... which he made up a few weeks later.

Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford aren't hiding it anymore, locking lips in public and letting the world know they're together.

The two were showed off some PDA Tuesday night in Studio City -- where they were on the streets and making out in front of cameras, no longer blurring lines -- they're a couple and definitely happy.

Check out the photos for yourself ... you can see BE and JR embracing, kissing, holding hands and smiling from ear to ear as they stroll down the street without a care in the world.

It's the third outing we've seen in less than a week where they seemed to be getting cozy. Remember, it all started with a video that surfaced showing them at Halloween Horror Nights looking like a couple. Ditto for a dinner date night the day before.

There's been evidence they've been hanging out since at least August of this year -- when they were photographed at the same movie premiere.

Of course, there's been controversy with this relationship ... mostly among her fans. We're talking about their age difference -- 11 years, more or less -- and the fact that Jesse appears to have known/befriended her when she was underage ... at around 15 or 16 years old.

BTS might be the biggest boy band in the world, but when duty calls they're just ordinary citizens ... they've been ordered to put down their mics down and serve in the military STAT.

The agency behind the K-pop stars made the announcement Monday ... all 7 guys will be performing their mandatory military service ... and the oldest member, Jin, is up first.

Apparently, Jin has managed to put off going for as long as possible, but no more delays ... he'll serve the full two years.

South Korea requires men ages 18 to 28 to serve for at least 18 months. Jin is turning 30 in a few months, but he'll still have to put in his time.

"Jin will cancel the request to delay enlistment in late October 2022 and follow the Military Manpower Administration's relevant procedures for enlistment," BTS' management said.

The other boys in the band won't be putting it off much longer ... despite some lawmakers asking for them to be exempt, similar to other athletes and musicians have in SK.

Shawn Mendes is stopping to smell the roses lately -- which seems to be paying dividends, 'cause the dude's looking swole and refreshed as he continues to focus on his mental health.

The singer was out Sunday at a farmers market in L.A., where he stopped off for a little greenery. Looks like he sampled the options -- taking a big whiff of multi-colored flowers, but ultimately choosing what appears to be eucalyptus wrapped up and ready to go.

Unclear who exactly these might be for ... but at any rate, Shawn was happy to flex that he's a plant dad. Emphasis on flex -- indeed, the guy was showing off the fact he's yoked.

SM's been out and about a lot over the past few weeks ... and like we said, it looks like this break from touring that he's on is working out for him. Shawn appears pretty happy these days, focusing on himself and, of course, promo'ing his new movie ... "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile."

The hiatus from performing doesn't mean he's not thinking about music though -- on the contrary, Shawn's still proving he's got a song in his heart. He's been doing some acoustic stuff at home and posting on the Gram for his fans ... and yeah, the dude's still got it.

Megan Thee Stallion is gonna take a break ... because she says she's both physically and emotionally spent.

Megan pulled double duty on 'SNL' Saturday night as host and musical guest, but before the show went live she told her fans, "Hotties im really sorry but after SNL I really gotta take a break I'm so tired, physically and emotionally."

You can understand why she's kinda at the end of her rope. TMZ broke the story Friday ... while she was in NYC preparing for the show, her home was burglarized and $300k-$400k in jewelry, cash and electronics were stolen.

And then there's the 2020 incident where she was shot in the foot ... Tory Lanez is now facing trial for the shooting.

And in 2019, her mom, Holly Thomas died from a brain tumor.

During her song, "Anxiety" on 'SNL,' Megan was fighting back tears.

The family of Willie Spence, the "American Idol" runner-up who died in a Tennessee car accident, doesn't think alcohol played a role -- instead, their alternate theory centers around his weekend activity.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Willie was leaving Tennessee State University's homecoming weekend when the crash happened, and while some have speculated he was driving drunk, his family says the late singer wasn't a drinker, so that doesn't track.

The accident took place during the day, not late at night ... another reason why they think he wasn't fresh out of leaving some big party.

However, we're told it was a long weekend for Willie -- one that might've left him severely fatigued, and the family's fear is he fell asleep at the wheel.

Police have yet to determine an official cause for the accident or his death.

Willie's family tells us he was on his way back to Atlanta to meet with an organization that helps abused and trafficked women ... a partnership he excitedly told his mother about the day before the fatal accident.

Singer Brandy is recovering in an L.A. hospital after possibly suffering a seizure ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they got an EMS call to Brandy's home at noon Tuesday. Sources with direct knowledge tell us it's believed Brandy suffered a seizure, and she was taken to a local hospital.

At this time, we're told Brandy is still in the hospital -- her parents have been there with her -- and it appears she will recover.

We don't know what led up to the seizure or if there were other health issues as a result of the incident.

It was earlier this year when Brandy blew the crowd away at the NFL's NFC Championship game with her rendition of the National Anthem.

We've reached out to a rep for Brandy ... so far, no word back.

"American Idol" runner-up Willie Spence has died in a car crash ... a relative confirms to TMZ.

The singer was in Tennessee Tuesday when the crash took place ... although specifics of the accident have yet to be released.

Willie posted a video just hours before the crash ... doing what he does best -- singing his heart out. Douglas Now was first to report the story.

Fans of the show remember Willie blowing the judges away in season 19, and making it all the way to the finale ... singing hits like "A Change is Gonna Come" and "Georgia on My Mind." He ended up coming in 2nd place behind Chayce Beckham.

There's been an outpouring of love for Willie since his passing ... Katharine McPhee of 'AI' fame expressed her heartbreak -- saying, "God rest your soul Willie. It was a pleasure to sing with you and to know you."

The 2 performed a duet together during his time on season 19.

Producer Randall Emmett also left a message for Willie, writing "I was lucky to have him sing for me live at my home and other events, I will miss you my friend. I know you touched so many of us."

He was 23.

RIP

Post Malone went out of his way to make things up to his fans in Boston ... giving out free shirts and a huge apology to folks at his show.

Post hit the stage Monday night, performing for fans in Bean Town after his recent rib injury forced him to cancel his concert there a few weeks ago.

He told the crowd, "I'm so f***ing sorry and I just wanted to say thank you for coming out tonight ladies and gentlemen. It means the f***ing world to me".

Besides putting on a great show, Post also let fans know they could grab a T-shirt on their way out. Talk about a sweet bonus -- that's legit official custom Boston merch, not some parking lot copycat gear!

As we reported ... PM pulled the plug on his Boston concert last month, just a few hours before showtime.

You'll recall, the singer had taken a huge fall onstage, a few nights prior during a show in St. Louis ... and he ended up fracturing a rib.

At the time, he said he was in too much pain to perform and was struggling with his breathing. He returned to the stage a week later in Cleveland.

Blink-182's stepping back on stage once again ... and Tom DeLonge is back in the saddle after saying goodbye to the band 7 years ago.

They announced the reunion of Tom, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus with an hilarious video Tuesday -- a clip that contains even bigger news ... they've got a new album coming soon!!!

The world tour kicks off in March down in Mexico, then moves to the U.S. a couple of months later.

They've also got a new single, "Edging," which drops Friday. It'll be the first new track by Tom, Travis, and Mark in 10 years.

The 3 worked together until their first split in 2005 ... they got back together 4 years later, but in 2015, Tom said he was officially out. Now, in the immortal words of Michael Corleone, it's ... "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!!!"

The group had briefly replaced Tom, calling their shows ... "Blink-182, with Matt Skiba." Sorry, Matt.

As you know, Travis heading on a world tour is a big deal -- he was one of the 2 survivors in a deadly plane crash in 2008, having to get multiple surgeries and spend multiple months in a burn unit.

Since then, the drummer's been avoiding flying -- but showed signs of progress last year when he took to the skies with his now-wife Kourtney Kardashian for the first time in 13 years.

It's great to see Mark with his fellow bandmates, too -- as we reported, he battled cancer last year. We got him in WeHo earlier this year, and he told us he's cancer-free, seeming like a huge weight was lifted off him.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are softies for soft rock ... hitting up a Jack Johnson concert!

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex watched Jack do his thing Wednesday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl, an outdoor venue that was packed. They weren't exactly just part of the crowd ... they watched the show from a special section cordoned off from the masses, with 10 other folks.

They cut loose during the show, dancing, swaying to the music and clearly familiar with Jack's hits. It was clearly date night ... Harry and Meghan were standing as he wrapped his arm around her waist. They were also friendly with the small group in their section ... chatting them up.

Meghan and Harry arrived separately ... she got there around 8 PM and Harry pulled up about an hour later.

Of course, their night out comes weeks after Harry and Meghan went to the U.K. to attend all the Queen's funeral events, after she died last month.

Justin Bieber fans hoping to see the singer live this year will need to wait until at least 2023 ... he's postponed the remainder of his world tour.

The Justice World Tour -- which kicked off back in February -- was slated to run until March 25, 2023 ... with upcoming dates in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Poland, The Netherlands and more.

However, last month Justin announced he needed a break from touring -- realizing his health needed to come first after a show in Brazil -- saying, "After getting off the stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realize that I need to make my health the priority right now." He continued, "So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better."

At the time, sources close to Justin told us both his mental and physical health needed some healing ... and it was important he took the time off to do just that.

Remember, Justin was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome earlier this year, posting a frightening video in which half his face was paralyzed.

Now, we're told the tour's remaining dates have been postponed ... that includes every show through and including March 25, 2023.

Johnny Depp is still super close with the lawyers who helped him defeat Amber Heard in court ... he made sure they were treated like royalty at his first U.S. concert since the trial.

Johnny kicked off his nationwide tour with Jeff Beck Tuesday at The Anthem in Washington D.C. with his attorneys Camille Vasquez and Ben Chew getting some of the best seats in the house.

Camille and Ben, who successfully represented Johnny in his big legal victory over his ex-wife in nearby Virginia this summer, were beaming as they snapped photos backstage ... with VIP passes hanging from their necks.

Ben's not just a suit ... he looks like he could fit in at any music festival ... and Camille's looking chic as always, dressed in all black.

Johnny's been big on music following the trial, recording an album with Jeff and playing shows all over Europe. Now, they're embarking on a U.S. tour, with upcoming concerts in Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, just to name a few.

Post Malone is showin' some love to his new baby girl in a totally fitting way -- it appears he's inked his daughter's initials on some prime real estate.

Sources close to Post tell TMZ ... he got the new piece backstage after his Indianapolis show Sunday night by tattoo artist Chad Rowe.

Now, Post has yet to reveal his daughter's full name ... but we're told this new tat was definitely in her honor, so we're assuming the bold "DDP" on his forehead are her initials. Let the guessing begin!

FYI, Chad's no stranger to PM ... he's the same artist who did his "Always Tired" face tattoos back in 2018.

We broke the story that Posty was expecting his first child with his girlfriend in May. He then announced the birth of his daughter by subtly dropping the news while on Howard Stern in June.

Chris Martin will be taking some time off after coming down with a serious lung infection, forcing the band to cancel a string of shows in Brazil.

Coldplay announced Tuesday that 8 upcoming shows in Brazil through the month of October will all be pushed to 2023. The band says Chris has a serious lung infection and has been put under strict doctor's orders to rest for the next 3 weeks.

The band has been tearing through the 'Music Of The Spheres World Tour' this year.

The rest of the statement reads, "To everyone in Brazil who was looking forward to these concerts, we’re extremely sorry for any disappointment and inconvenience,” saying, “and we’re so grateful for your understanding at this challenging time where we need to prioritize Chris’ health."

In the meantime, Coldplay says they will be honoring refunds but they are assuring fans their current tickets will be valid for the new dates. The good news, it looks like it's something Chris will totally recover from.
