Wynonna Judd Clings To Jelly Roll During CMA Awards Performance ... Fans Worried About Her

Published | Updated

update

6:20 AM PT -- Wynonna Judd has clearly seen the criticism and worry from her fans, posting a video to address the performance -- she blames the whole thing on nerves, saying she wanted to be at her best for Jelly Roll. Wynonna says she was simply holding on for dear life ... and will be back on the road for another show.

Wynonna Judd clung to Jelly Roll during their performance Wednesday night at the Country Music Awards -- and now her fans are worried something is wrong with her.

The country music legend hit the stage with JR to sing a duet of Jelly's tune, "Need A Favor," at the 2023 CMA Awards in Nashville.

At one point, Wynonna walked over to Jelly and grabbed his arm, giving off the impression she needed help to stay on her feet. It's unclear if Wynonna was experiencing some type of health issue, but she was able to polish off the song and leave the stage on her own.

Still, her fans took to social media and voiced their concerns after watching her seemingly unsteady performance. Remember, Wynonna lost her iconic mother, Naomi, to suicide in 2022, so she's had a rough time lately.

One fan wrote on X, "She could barely walk. She took baby steps."

Another one asked, "Am I the only one concerned for @Wynonna."

A third person observed, "Something is wrong with her. Hope she is ok. Wynonna Judd is holding on to Jelly Roll for dear life #CMAawards."

And a fourth freaked out, "It was seriously bizarre. I wonder what’s going on? She barely moved once she got a death grip on him."

In some good news from the show ... Jelly Roll took home the trophy for "Best New Artist."

Congrats, JR!!

Timbaland Sorry to Britney and Her Fans ... My 'Muzzle' Joke Was Out Of Line

Published | Updated

Timbaland is facing the backlash head-on after his "muzzle joke" aimed at Britney Spears -- he's apologizing to her and her fans, who had a riotous response when his remark went viral.

On Tuesday, during a TikTok streaming session, Timbaland admitted his faults, saying ... "I’m sorry to all the Britney fans, even to her" -- and added he was in the wrong for attempting to block her right to speak out.

Fans thought Timbaland's reaction to Britney's "The Woman in Me" memoir -- particularly the bits about Justin Timberlake -- was in poor taste.

EVERYBODY WANTS ATTENTION

While on a panel last week with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Timbaland quipped JT needed to "put a muzzle" on Britney, blaming today's social media climate for her actions.

Fans thought Timbaland was being insensitive and he saw their perspective, and when some of them asked if he respects women, he fired back a hearty "hell yeah."

JT and Tim go way back -- but so do JT and Britney. In her book, she says they both decided to have an abortion when she got pregnant back in 2000 ... among other shocking revelations from her heyday.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

BRITNEY SPEARS 'CHRISTINA SUCKS' DOOR COULD FETCH $30K

Published

Britney Spears' "Dirrty" dig at Christina Aguilera could make bank for the buyer of her childhood Louisiana home.

As we recently reported, Brit's former Kentwood home is on the market for $1.2M after the star's estranged father, Jamie Spears, sold it two and half years ago for a mere $289K.

Much of the 3-bed, 3-bathroom home's OG furnishings have been preserved -- including a very damning door statement, which tells us that Britney's rivalry with Xtina has always been "Toxic."

"Christina sucks, Brit rules" is scribbled in black marker across a wooden door ... which, if put up for auction, could see fans dropping HUGE sums of money to get their hands on the rare, one-of-a-kind nineties memorabilia.

Bobby Livingston, executive VP at RR Auction, tells TMZ that the door could bag anywhere between $20-$30K.

Jared Mast, head of pop culture at Goldin Auctions, says that the handwriting would first need to be authenticated in order to know the true value. If that message is in Britney's handwriting, he could see the door selling for between $10,000-$20,000 given the background.

Ed Kosinski of Gotta Have Rock and Roll reckons it could go between $20-$25K ... while Darren Julien, CEO of Julien's Auctions, speculates to us it would go for only between $4-6K.

But if you do have the cash to flash ... then the entirety of Britney's home could also get you her mini-NSYNC bedroom shrine and the original dance studio where she once practiced her Mouseketeering dance moves.

LADY GAGA 'DROVE ME CRAZY IN COLLEGE' ... Says 'Bachelor' Alum Carly Waddell

Published | Updated

Lady Gaga has the world at her feet now, but she's getting no "Applause" from a former college classmate -- Carly Waddell claims the singer's behavior would "drive her crazy."

"Bachelor" alum Carly is also a singer -- though she's more known for her TV dating conquests -- and while on ex-"Bachelor" star Jason Tartick's podcast, "Trading Secrets," she revealed she was "not a fan" of Gaga back when they were both attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

COULDN'T STAND HER
Trading Secrets with Jason Tartick / ZTPR

Case in point ... Carly said that Gaga -- who went by her real name, Stefani, back then -- would dismiss basic lunchtime etiquette, singing "Wicked" at the top of her lungs while on the piano as others tried to eat in peace ... every single day.

Carly said, "It was break time, and we were forced to listen to her" ... which she found so irritating, she started eating her lunch in the hallway just to flee Gaga's singing.

But did Gaga's flair for performing arts put her above everyone else in class? Carly says no ... but with Grammys, an Academy Award & many more accolades under her belt, she acknowledges that Gaga is NOW above everyone else.

So, considering Gaga's age-old mantra, it's probs best to not be annoying AF if you need one person to believe in you in a room full of 100.

Katy Perry Parties At Chainsmokers Show ... With Orlando Bloom After Residency Wraps

KATY CUTS LOOSE

Katy Perry had the time of her life after closing the curtain on her Las Vegas residency ... living it up with her boo, Orlando Bloom, at The Chainsmokers' concert.

Orlando and Katy were groovin' Saturday night at the DJ duo's residency at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas ... the "Firework" singer was really feelin' the music, grabbing the mic and singing along to the track -- even if she didn't totally nail the lyrics.

It appears KP had a couple of drinks in her, having some playful fun with 1/2 of the Chainsmokers crew, Drew Taggart -- but hey, she's earned it after closing a big chapter in her musical career.

For those unaware, Katy kicked off her Vegas residency at the end of 2021, putting on 80 shows at Resorts World Theatre. At her final show on Saturday, Katy called Orlando an amazing father and said her 3-year-old daughter, Daisy, was her "best friend."

Katy also teased the crowd after her last show ended -- a screen lowered that read, "See ya next year ..." hinting at more exciting things to come not just for the singer, but for the fans!

Taylor Swift 'Eras' Movie Still Playing in Israel ... Despite Rumors to Contrary

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift's concert film is still playing in Israel -- this despite some who thought she'd yanked the flick to make a political statement ... which we've learned ain't the case at all.

Here's the deal ... the 'Eras' movie just started hitting cinemas in Israel last week -- the first time it'd reached that territory as the international rollout continues -- and folks were happy to go see it.

However, come Monday ... some were having technical issues in snapping up tickets for this week, and as a result -- a frenzy started to ensue over the perceived halt.

As far as what exactly the problem was ... people who were going to Taylor's official website for the 'Eras' movie could not pull up Israeli locations at all. When you searched for Israel, the site automatically kicked users to other areas in the Middle East ... like Lebanon.

As a result, a lot of people started jumping to conclusions, and speculating that Taylor and/or her team had done this intentionally ... as a way to signal their stance on Israel-Palestine.

Of course, Taylor's close friendship with Gigi Hadid -- with whom she had just dined this past weekend -- also jumped into people's minds ... as they assumed this (would-be) move to yank the flick in Israeli theaters was a result of GH getting into T-Swift's ear on this issue.

That couldn't be further from the truth though ... because, as of right now -- people can access those Israel tickets from her site ... and we have an explanation for what happened that made it inaccessible in the first place.

As it turns out ... we're told there's actually a third-party company that deals with posting Taylor's worldwide showtimes on her official 'Eras' movie website -- aka, this isn't something she or her team deal with themselves.

It's unclear what the holdup was in uploading this week's showtimes ... but rest assured it was merely a delay on the third-party company's part, and we're told the issue has now been rectified -- with showings available for purchase in and around Israel.

Long story short ... there is NO political statement that Taylor is trying to take here, and she was NOT trying to stick it to Israel over what's going on in Gaza.

We did extra digging on this to make sure it wasn't just a pivot only after people noticed, BTW ... because even while tickets in Israel were temporarily not available to the public on TS's site, we confirmed you could still go to individual Israeli theater chains/sites and purchase tickets there -- which just speak to this someone dragging their feet by mistake.

It's all fixed now, though ... and Israeli Taylor fans can enjoy her this week as well. Her movie screens Thursday through Sunday -- so go reserve your seats, if you're inclined.

Aaron Carter Son Visits Grave On Death Anniversary ... Passed 1 Year Ago

Published | Updated

Emotional day for Aaron Carter's family ... with his son visiting the late singer's grave site, exactly one year after his death.

Sunday marked the first anniversary of Aaron's passing, and his fam stopped by his headstone at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills.

Aaron's ex-fiancée Melanie Martin brought their son Prince with her ... and folks who were there tell us Aaron's twin sister, Angel, was already at the gravesite when Melanie and Prince arrived.

In addition to Aaron's mourning family, we're told fans also showed up to pay their respects ... many leaving candles and flowers.

TMZ broke the story ... Aaron was found dead in his Lancaster, CA home Nov. 5, 2022, and the official cause of death was drowning as a result of being under the influence.

On Aaron's death anniversary, we're told Prince walked up to his father's gravestone and counted all the candles left by fans -- there were 20 -- and Melanie hung around until the cemetery closed for a private moment at Aaron's grave.

As we first told you ... Aaron's family recently installed a new headstone, featuring an oval portrait of Aaron.

Selena Gomez Beauty Co. Takes Firmer Stance ... On Israel-Palestine Conflict

Published | Updated

Selena Gomez tried speaking on Israel-Palestine -- but ended up saying a whole lot of nothing/getting dragged ... but now, her company seems to be clarifying where she stands.

The singer-actress's very own Rare Beauty -- of which she is the founder and chairwoman -- just posted a lengthy statement on the war in the Middle East ... and right off the bat, it seems like they're leaning way more pro-Palestine here.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Rare Beauty's IG account threw up a photo of a maroon square with the words "Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza" superimposed below. So, yes -- that alone tells you how they view things.

Their caption is a mouthful, and they certainly try to walk the line ... but even there, RB makes clear that they do not condone or support what's going on on the Palestinian side of this situation -- namely, Israel moving in to the area and trying to snuff out Hamas.

Of course ... there've been a lot of casualties along the way, and that's where Rare Beauty draws the line -- saying, "Thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes & millions of civilians have been displaced & left without access to food, water, medicine, or basic necessities for survival. A large number of these victims are children. Palestinian civilians must be protected, period."

The company continues ... "We remain heartbroken by the horrible terror attack against innocent civilians in Israel on October 7th, many of them also children. There is no situation where attacks on civilians are acceptable. We strongly denounce any & all forms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia."

Here, they're acknowledging the slaughter of 1,400 Israelis ... and saying that attacks on civilians are wrong. However, at this point, it seems they're focusing on Palestine in that regard.

What's interesting about Rare Beauty's stance here is that it seems to be a much more clear message than what Selena initially posted last week ... when she attempted to wade into the controversy, but caught a lot of flak by seemingly putting the focus on herself.

She did say that she doesn't stand for any act of hate -- but it was a little vague on which side of the aisle she was saying that for. Now, Rare Beauty is clarifying ... it's both sides.

But, what can't be denied is that they feel like Israel's response is overboard at this point -- evidenced by what they characterize as a crisis in Gaza. That echoes the mass demonstrations taking place all over the country right now ... most of which are pro-Palestine.

While Selena might've had a hard time communicating her feelings, her LLC stepped in and appears to have spoken on her behalf. You know they wouldn't post this without her sign-off.

Rare Beauty guides people to a number of resources in their IG post, and they also note they're going to be donating to a number of orgs that provide international aid. They're also calling on everyone to be kind to each other in these troubling, scary times.

update

1:54 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained some video of Katy Perry's last residency show in Vegas -- and it looks like the stars on hand, including Celine Dion, were busting a move and having a blast.

Check out this footage that shows the celebs who attended boogying down throughout the concert -- you can see Celine Dion bobbing to the music as Katy did her thing ... plus, Cameron Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, were right behind getting their groove as well. So was Zoe Saldana, BTW -- so yeah, it was a packed house, and star-studded to the max.

As for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ... we're told they were also seated in the VIP section, but they were in a group of seats that were adjacent to Celine and co., so not really with them.

Their night seemed to be a little more low-key ... with Meghan chatting up a woman she was sitting next to, and PH just kinda sitting there minding his own biz, somewhat aloof. Even when they were seen standing up with the others ... the couple just sorta stood there. 😅

FIREWORKS WITH THE CHAINSMOKERS

Anyhoo, one other notable sighting ... Katy's fiancé, Orlando Bloom, was obviously in the crowd and he had their daughter perched up on his shoulders and Katy explained how much their child means to her. He also danced with their little girl, Daisy Dove, while mom was onstage.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

After the show, Katy and Orlando broke off from everyone else and hit up XS Nightclub at the Wynn and celebrated her last bow with The Chainsmokers. Cool way to go out, no doubt.

Celine Dion is definitely on the comeback trail ... she made her second public appearance in a week at Katy Perry's concert last evening -- and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also in the crowd!!!

Celine and her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, dropped in to catch Katy's performance at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas Saturday night -- and she looked absolutely spectacular.

This is great news given her health struggles. As you know, Celine has long been dealing with a debilitating disease called stiff-person syndrome, which causes painful muscle spasms.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY

On Monday, the iconic singer was seen out for the first time in 3 ½ years, showing up at the T-Mobile Arena for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and her hometown Montreal Canadiens.

As for Harry and Meghan, the couple arrived apart from Celine and her sons to Katy's concert Saturday. They quickly became the center of attention as fans shot cell phone videos of them.

At one point, Harry and Meghan were pictured near Celine, but it's not clear if they ever got to talk to one another.

Interesting photo, nonetheless. And, it seems like everyone had a terrific time, including Katy’s fiancée, actor Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy Dove.

Taylor Swift lives in the moment, even hanging with friends who right at this very moment are in the news.

Taylor hit the town -- New York City, that is -- Saturday night with Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne and, yes ... Brittany Mahomes.

Taylor made her exit from Bond Street restaurant locking arms with Selena and had a grip on Brittany's hand.

As you know, Selena made news this week by posting a kind of hollow Instagram message about Israel and Palestine and then took it down, as if she was shocked she'd get criticism.

It's unclear if, though unlikely, Taylor will jet to Germany today to watch her BF play the Dolphins.

Taylor Swift Hits The Town With Phoebe Bridgers ... While Travis Kelce Is Overseas

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift went out for Friday date night in NYC, but it wasn't with her hunky NFL beau Travis Kelce ... linking up instead with fellow musician Phoebe Bridgers.

Taylor arrived at the famed Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village to grab some grub with Bridgers last evening -- while Kelce was prepping for a football game in Germany.

Taylor looked stylish in her autumn attire, sporting a tan sweater, brown dress pants and chunky heels. Phoebe was wearing all black, which contrasted with her bright silver hair, making her stand out in the crowd.

Minetta Tavern owner Keith McNally later told the media ... Taylor and Phoebe noshed on baked oysters and foie Gras amouse bouche. McNally noted Taylor "really liked" the foie Gras.

After supper, Taylor and Phoebe left the restaurant, but not before Swift posed for photos with the chef. Taylor must have really loved that foie Gras!!

But, not as much as she digs her boyfriend Travis, who will be playing with the Kansas City Chiefs against the Miami Dolphins in Germany this Sunday.

Travis was grilled about his relationship with Taylor during a Friday press conference in Frankfurt ahead of the game.

2023 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Celeb-Fueled Induction Ceremony Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Etc.

Published | Updated

Some of the biggest names in music were honored at the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday night -- as a slew of artists put on memorable performances.

The 38th Annual star-studded event was held at the Barclays Center in NYC and, for the first time, was streamed live on Disney+ to highlight all of this year's winners.

To say the least, the list of inductees was impressive: Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, Sheryl Crow, George Michael (posthumously), Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, Kate Bush and The Spinners. Among the evening's entertainers were Rock icons Elton John and Jimmy Page.

Actress Laura Dern kicked off the ceremony, giving the first award to Crow while labeling her a “badass goddess.”

Crow then performed three of her hits, “If It Makes You Happy,” "Strong Enough" and "Everyday." Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks and Peter Frampton each jumped in separately to assist on the songs.

Chaka Khan also put on a mesmerizing show after accepting the "Musical Excellence Award" from R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan.

Chaka played 3 of her famous tunes, “I Feel You,” “Ain’t Nobody” and “I’m Every Woman." H.E.R., Sia and Common joined in to add their soulful voices.

Perhaps the most unforgettable moment was when Willie Nelson was inducted and performed with several other icons -- Crow, Dave Matthews and Chris Stapleton. Nelson and Co. featured a few of his most recognizable songs, “Whiskey River," “Crazy” and “On the Road Again.”

As for George Michael, he, too, was honored in a big way. The late Wham! frontman was dubbed “one of the greatest singers of our time” by his former band member, Andrew Ridgeley.

Miguel, Adam Levine and Carrie Underwood brought down the house with their renditions of Michael's “Careless Whisper,” “Faith” and “One More Try.”

Rock on, people!!

Kate Bush Skipping R&R HOF Ceremony ... Thx for the 💗, But Yeah No

Published | Updated

Kate Bush is being ushered into rock and roll history alongside some great artists who'll share the honor ... but they won't share the stage with her, 'cause she's bowing out.

The British singer-songwriter -- who was huge in the '80s, and who recently gained popularity again through "Stranger Things" -- is one of many who are set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday night in Brooklyn ... but she seems to be the only one who won't be there in person.

Kate posted a lengthy statement addressing her being included in this year's class, saying she's completely grateful and humbled ... noting her hit song, "Running Up That Hill," put her back in the spotlight again thanks to Netflix.

She writes, "Last year was such a surprisingly successful time for my track ['RUTH'] and I’m sure that a lot of you who’ve voted me in to the RRHOF also drove that track up the charts. Thank you!" Then, she hits everyone with somewhat unsurprising news.

KB adds, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the ceremony tonight, but for me the real honour is knowing that you felt I deserved it." Kate doesn't address why she's bailing -- but she does extend a lot of compliments to the other artists who'll be enshrined ... specifically pointing out Bernie Taupin, Elton John's writing partner, as one who's quite deserving.

The other inductees, aside from the above-mentioned ones, include ... Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners. As far as we can tell, they're all expected to show face ... but unfortunately, Kate's seat will be empty.

Of course, Kate does have a bit of a rep for being elusive/reclusive -- so the fact she's opting out here might not be a total shocker for longtime fans of hers. It's funny ... not even a fan fave like 'ST' could bring her out of her shell. Just goes to show -- Kate stays true!

If 2023's show is anything like last year's ... it'll be a big fat jam fest. Congrats, all!
