YouTube star Colleen Ballinger, best known for her Internet character Miranda Sings, is denying grooming allegations against her with a song ... and for some folks, it's falling flat.

Colleen picked up a ukulele and recorded a 10-minute video where she sings about the disturbing claims against her being nothing but gossip and lies.

In case you missed it ... Colleen's been accused of grooming a teenage boy, who grew up to be YouTube star Adam McIntyre. She broke her silence Wednesday with her singing video.

Colleen says her team strongly advised her not to say what she wants to say, but she says that doesn't mean she can't sing about her reaction ... so here we are.

In the song, Colleen puts it bluntly, "The only thing I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats."

She adds ... "I'm not a groomer, just a loser / who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans / and I'm not a predator even a lot of you think so / because five years ago I made a fart joke."

Colleen's song isn't going over so well online ... folks are blasting her on social media, with some fans telling her this wasn't the right way to address the serious allegations.

Madonna was forced into a serious battle for her health after suffering a bacterial infection which sent her to the ICU and has forced her to put her upcoming tour on hold.

Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager shared an update on the singer Wednesday, announcing the hospital stay, but also stated, "Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected." A source close to the singer tells us she's out of the ICU.

Shortly after Guy's message, Page Six reported Madonna was found unresponsive over the weekend, rushed to the hospital and intubated. We have not yet confirmed that info.

Remember ... Madonna announced a world tour back in January, and it was supposed to kick off July 15 in Vancouver ... but her manager says the "Celebration" tour is now on pause.

Madonna's management also says the tour will have a new start date and shows will be rescheduled, but they are still ironing out those details.

Jason Derulo wants everyone to follow their dreams and not be bogged down by following the silly rules drummed into their heads by their parents!!!

The "Swalla" singer checked in with "TMZ Live" as his new book “Sing Your Name Out Loud: 15 Rules for Living Your Dream" is flying hot off the presses.

Jason thinks the key to success is not to be afraid of failure. He says failed at the majority of the risks he's taken ... but still, the failures don't define him -- the successes do.

Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are his inspirations — for the sheer volume of shots they missed to achieve greatness.

Jason says he's living proof being fearless in life works, and his book is the blueprint.

Taylor Swift asking her fans to chill out on John Mayer is having quite the opposite effect ... because her ex-boyfriend is seeing tons of hate come his way online.

Here's the deal ... Taylor pled with Swifties to take it easy on John when she performed "Dear John" at her recent 'Eras' tour stop in Minneapolis, as the song takes shots at her ex-flame.

But, as it turns out ... Taylor's fans are instead going after John on social media ... and there seems to be no letup in sight.

Look no further than John's most recent Instagram posts ... they are being flooded with negative comments from Taylor supporters, with some even blaming him for Taylor's call for a cease-fire.

Over on TikTok, Swifties are posting videos of themselves saying how they are going to go against Taylor's wishes ... promising to cyberbully John.

Twitter's also awash with negative comments -- as is usually the case on the bird app -- so John's getting heat from all angles.

Remember ... John's on the record saying Taylor's song is humiliating, and he's previously ripped it as "cheap songwriting" and a "lousy thing for her to do."

Looks like Taylor may have unintentionally poked the bear.

Adele is just like the rest of us -- piling onto Tom Sandoval with her Vegas audience ... even though she's kinda just figuring out the backstory and pertinent details as she goes.

The singer was back to bantering with the crowd Monday, only this time she wasn't talking subs ... she was going on about "Vanderpump Rules." Specifically, Adele wanted to know who the guy that cheated was ... and what exactly he does for a living.

It's a fair Q. Folks who don't watch the show -- but who might've heard about the drama regardless -- have probably been asking the same thing ... and Adele got some answers from ticket holders. Well, sorta ... people weren't all that helpful in painting a clear picture.

Adele polled one fella in the audience, and he simply blurted out ... "He's trash." She jokingly agreed, but clearly wanted her question answered -- and he told her Tom's a server who's trying to be a singer now. That's not *entirely* accurate ... but Adele seemed satisfied.

For those unfamiliar ... Tom is a local restaurant/business owner in L.A. who mingles with the 'Vanderpump' staff as a bartender. He's been part of the cast since pretty much the beginning, and yes -- he is indeed in a band ... and he does, in fact, sing.

While Adele didn't seem privy to any of that info ... she's certainly heard about him pulling a fast one on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix, by hooking up with her best friend and fellow castmate, Raquel Leviss -- which blew up in his face earlier this year after we broke the news on the affair.

As we've reported ... there's been a lot of mud-slinging in the aftermath, but now -- Bravo's ready to do it all over again. Only problem is they haven't signed Raquel for the new season just yet ... as she remains at her mental health facility ... and they're starting production on Wednesday. Obviously, they want her back.

Time will tell if she inks a deal ... but it'll also be interesting to see if the 'Scandoval' has actual legs. This thing's starting to feel fully squeezed -- and there might be some fatigue.

Pink's had a lot of gifts thrown onstage over the years, but something tells us this most recent item was one-of-a-kind ... as a fan tossed their mother's remains to the singer!!!

Pink was performing her headlining set at the British Summer Time Festival in London when the baggy full of ashes was thrown up onstage. Baffled, you see Pink pick up the item, ask, "Is this your mom?" followed by, "I don't know how I feel about this" before setting it down.

What's most funny about the whole thing, Pink barely misses a beat -- belting out her song "Just Like a Pill" through the whole ordeal.

Not much is clear about who threw the bag of ashes or what the reason was behind the move ... but you gotta assume the mom was a big Pink fan???

Nonetheless, the rest of the show went on without a hitch.

Lewis Capaldi is pushing pause on his touring schedule ... telling fans he's taking a step back for the foreseeable future to focus on his mental and physical health.

The singer broke the news to fans on social media Tuesday, saying the tough call became clear after his performance Saturday at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK.

Lewis -- who suffers from Tourette syndrome -- has often struggled with tics during his performances, with Glastonbury being the latest example ... but as usual, the massive crowd showed support by singing the song for him while he pulled away from the mic.

Lewis says, "The truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love."

No word on when he plans on taking the stage again ... but he ends by sending his love to all his fans -- "Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can. ❤️"

Tina Turner got the tribute treatment at the BET Awards from Patti LaBelle -- but it seems the R&B legend didn't know the late icon's own lyrics onstage ... and it played out live.

The singer was doing an homage to Tina Sunday night during the broadcast ... undoubtedly a huge moment in the show considering TT passed away last month. Patti was a natural choice to sing her songs -- but in the middle of her performance, she stumbled.

Check it out ... while PLB was cranking out Tina's classic hit "The Best," she paused for a bit and said she couldn't see the words. It got a laugh from the crowd, and Patti carried on as best as she could. However, her confession definitely spurred a lot of head scratches.

On its face, it looked like Patti was reading the lyrics somewhere off in the distance ... and hadn't actually memorized them. That was later confirmed to be true by BET itself.

A rep for the org says, "It was an extraordinary privilege to celebrate the life and legacy of Ms. Tina Turner at BET Awards 2023. Having the incomparable Ms. Patti LaBelle on our stage honoring one of her contemporaries was an equal privilege."

They tried covering for her, adding ... "Due to the crowd's enthusiasm, the teleprompter was obstructed, obscuring Ms. LaBelle’s view of the lyrics. Nonetheless, we couldn’t be more grateful to Ms. LaBelle for lending her incredible talent to this moment."

Like we said, no true harm or foul -- and it ended up being a funny moment big picture. But, truth be told, some were kinda disappointed in Patti for not being better prepared ... especially in a big tribute to another musical great on such a grand stage.

BTW, this ain't the first high-profile mishap Patti's suffered ... remember back in the '90s when she was singing for the Clinton White House, and her whole "backup singers" fiasco??? Yeah, that one wasn't really her fault ... but this sure does have echoes of that.

The Glastonbury Festival has come and gone -- and with it, so too have the dreams of Britney Spears fans vanished ... this after they expected to see her take the stage.

Elton John headlined Sunday, and throughout his set ... there was a lot of chatter online that Britney might, perhaps, come out and perform with him as a special guest. The song everyone thought they'd duet together ... their 2022 collab, 'Hold Me Closer.'

As the show went on, however, it became clear to folks ... BS wasn't going to show up. That became even more evident when Brandon Flowers was trotted out for 'Tiny Dancer.'

The reactions were pretty funny -- people on the Bird app were (jokingly?) up in arms over the fact BF was tapped instead of Britney ... and that all the anticipation amounted to nothing.

It's unclear why they thought she'd be making it to Glastonbury in the first place ... there've been no concrete reports that was going to happen at all.

As for Britney herself ... she just got back from a vacay down in Mexico -- and has been busy posting her usual random content on IG Sunday, providing no real indication she was set to grab the mic or perform in front of thousands of people out of nowhere.

Anyone who's been paying attention knows that's likely not going to go down ... maybe even forever. As we've reported (repeatedly) -- Britney has no real interest in stepping into the spotlight again ... although she is gearing up for a recording comeback.

In other words, all of the fans who are hoping to see her live and in the flesh again are likely going to be let down. Britney doesn't even really venture out into the public anymore.

Another sign that this Britney pipe dream wasn't going to manifest at Glastonbury -- the fact that she's barely audible on 'Hold Me Closer' to begin with ... her vocals are faint and practically imperceptible. Yeah, it was cool to see her hop back into music ... but it was far from the true return to form everyone was expecting. That has yet to be accomplished.

Taylor Swift did something super interesting during her performance Saturday night in Minneapolis ... she urged fans to lay off one of her exes.

Taylor has one song which is a surprise to her fans each night at her "Eras" concerts, and Saturday's was "Dear John"-- a biting song about ex-flame John Mayer.

Taylor clearly had bad feelings about John when she wrote the tune, but on Saturday her tune changed. She told the crowd, "I'm 33 years old. I don't care about anything that happened to me when I was 19. I'm not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about someone 14 million years ago."

Taylor explained she was re-recording "Speak Now" which includes "Dear John" because she wants to own her own music, but she clearly says she's not interested in trashing him.

Meghan Markle shot for the stars trying to book guests for her soon-to-be-extinct podcast, but maybe the biggest one in the U.S. wasn't impressed enough to bite the bait.

Taylor Swift politely declined Meghan's request to have a chit-chat on her "Archetypes" podcast ... according to the Wall Street Journal.

The M.O. of the podcast was to discuss challenges and stereotypes facing women ... something Taylor has addressed in the past ... but Meghan's venue clearly wasn't enticing enough.

Mind you Meghan did get good guests -- Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, and Paris Hilton -- but the current, reigning queen of entertainment wasn't gonna be reeled in.

Prince Harry apparently had high hopes for his failed Spotify endeavors ... notably, trying to get Trump and Putin to talk about their childhood traumas. It's an interesting pie-in-the-sky play, but it was clearly a no-go. Besides, can you imagine Putin saying, "I became a ruthless dictator because my pops didn't love me."

Lana Del Rey royally pissed off her fans in jolly old England over the weekend, because she showed up late for her music set, told concert goers she was gonna have to rush through her set, her mic was cut off and she was eventually escorted away by security.

The video shows how ridiculous she was ... she was one of the headliners at the Glastonbury Music Festival where tens of thousands of fans paid good money to enjoy music, and here was Lana ... 30 minutes late and up against a midnight curfew.

When she came out, her excuse was shocking ... "I was so f**king late that I am about to rush this set today if they cut power. I'm super f**king sorry, my hair takes so long to do!"

Well, she performed and Glastonbury was true to form ... after 15 minutes, when the clock struck 12, her mic was cut.

Lana then decided to do an end run and have the crowd sing her music, which they obligingly did -- to her song, "Video Games," -- and then security stepped in and gently escorted her away.

She tried to thank people in the front row, but people were clearly pissed. You hear lots of boos, and rightly so.

Beyoncé nearly fell out of her top earlier this week during a live show in Germany -- but one of her backup dancers saw the issue before it became a disaster ... and played the hero.

The singer was putting on a concert Wednesday in Hamburg, and while she was in the middle of performing "Break My Soul," a wardrobe malfunction almost played out live in front of everyone -- namely, her left breast was about to pop out of her skintight outfit.

Bey was up there bouncing around -- giving it her all -- and several people noticed ... something was about to come undone, and soon. It doesn't seem like Beyoncé herself really noticed ... but, fortunately for her, somebody who was onstage with her did see it.

Turns out ... one of the brothers from the French dance group Les Twins -- both of whom were serving as backup dancers for this performance -- rushed over and provided cover.

Not only did the guy block what was inevitably going to be a straight-up nip slip ... but a closer look, shot from someone with front row seats -- shows he actually tugged on her top and put it back in place for her ... all in one fell swoop, going right back to dancing.

It all happened so fast ... and, ever the pro she is, Bey didn't miss a step. If you weren't paying attention, you might've not even noticed some miracle work was goin' down.

As you can imagine, the dude's being praised/patted on the back for springing into action the way he did ... because, frankly, the whole situation could've been very embarrassing.

It doesn't look like Les Twins or Bey have addressed this yet ... but, TBH, there's nothing really to say. Disaster was averted, and ya gotta figure Beyoncé is grateful for the save.

You've heard of King James' good book -- but what about one from The King himself??? Well, now you can say you have ... and not that just, you can actually swoop it up, too.

A Bible that was once gifted to Elvis Presley -- and which features his signature, no less -- is currently for sale through memorabilia company Moments in Time ... and it's hocking this thing for a whopping $95K! And, you thought the collection plate at church was steep.

Here's the deal on this Bible ... it was given to EP way back when by a fan, and it even has his name etched onto the cover. More importantly though -- and certainly more valuable -- is the fact that Elvis threw his John Hancock on the inside cover ... making it a collectible.

The artifact itself -- which was obviously once in Elvis' possession -- is also neat in that it contains a photograph of Elvis and his mother, Gladys. On its face, it seems this Bible was actually dedicated to her by her son ... however, it's been owned by other relatives.

Elvis' aunt, Delta, was actually the one who held onto this Bible after Elvis passed ... and she gave the Bible to a frequent guest at Graceland. MiT now has its hands on the Bible... which is looking for a new buyer with cash to burn.

If nothing else ... it's a great piece of Elvis' legacy, and something any super (rich) fan of his would love to get their hands on. Interested parties can contact Moments in Time now.

Beyoncé seems to be feelin' the power of the dark side ... cuz she's lookin' really 'Star Wars' villain-ish while traveling through Europe with her family.

Queen Bey -- or Darth Beyder, as she might prefer to be called -- touched down Friday in the south of France with her hubby Jay-Z, and their kiddo Blue Ivy in tow.

Her fam might be feeling Beyonce's force while cruising through the airport, though ... because she was completely bundled up with a pitch-black cloth covering everything but a sliver of her face.

Might remind ya of a certain big bad space villain called Darth Vader ... the younger version, anyway. Think hooded Anakin Skywalker from 'Episode 3' -- or maybe the all-powerful baddie, Emperor Palpatine from the same saga.

FYI, Bey's currently on the European leg of her Renaissance World Tour ... next stop is Saturday in Frankfurt, where she just might declare, "I am your mother."

Some of the Louis Tomlinson fans pulverized in a hail storm are revealing the gnarly injuries they suffered ... and it ain't pretty!!!

Videos/photos of concertgoers' painful wounds were posted to social media after Tomlinson's Wednesday night performance came to a screeching halt due to the brutal weather conditions. One fan's back was covered with massive welts. 😱

Nearly 100 attendees suffered injuries as they were rushed out of the Red Rocks Amphitheater.

The footage shows one fan with golf-ball size red blotches on her back...another person with gashes to her fingers and a third individual whose leg looks like it was beaten with a club.

According to the fire department ... 7 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for cuts and broken bones while 80-to-90 others received medical attention at the venue.

As the balls of ice were falling, fans tried to seek refuge anywhere they could and many later wrote about their harrowing experiences on Twitter. One even called the ordeal the "scariest night of my life."

Louis says they're gonna give fans full refunds, or do a make-up show -- it hasn't been determined yet.
