The Chainsmokers nearly brought down the house at an Ohio State frat ... and it looks like the college rager of the year.

It all went down at the SAE house ahead just before one of the biggest college football games of the season ... with OSU squaring off against the Texas Longhorns.

Check out the video ... the place is jam-packed with students crammed together, jumping up and down as they hype themselves up for the big game.

Ray J is on a run! — he’s celebrating the 20-year anniversary of "One Wish," a now certified gold album with "Raydiation," hit reality shows, and now the launch of his own streaming hub, Tronix Network. He’s worked with Viacom, Zeus, and other major players ... but always stayed independent.

Now he’s taking that energy straight to the streets of Hollywood. The "TMZ After Dark Tour" has turned into L.A.'s hottest ride, selling out every Friday and Saturday with Ray J at the helm. Fans call it a “concert on wheels” — music blasting, paparazzi moments, free shots, and Ray J right in the middle.

Hollywood is noticing. We’re not just talking about late-night gigs — we're told some big production companies and mainstream platforms are starting to circle, after seeing video of  Ray's connection with the crowd.

Sabrina Carpenter is revealing why she chose a spooky setting for her recent album party ... explaining the cemetery location fits her man-killer vibe.

The pop star hosted an album party with Spotify for fans Thursday at the famed Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles ... just before the highly anticipated release of her new LP, "Man's Best Friend."

Speaking to her loyal Carpenters, SC said she thought the locale couldn't be more perfect, as she's "always killing men" ... not literally, of course. Though, she has sliced up a fella or two in her music videos!!!

If that racy album cover’s any clue, Sabrina Carpenter’s next music drop is gonna be dripping with provocative lyrics, and for the easily scandalized crowd ... she could not care less!

In a sneak peek from her CBS sit-down with Gayle King -- the full thing airs Friday -- Sabrina doubled down that the unapologetically sexual vibe of her new album, "Man’s Best Friend," is NOT for the pearl-clutching crowd.

Gayle pressed for the deeper take -- calling SC's music sexual, powerful, vulnerable -- and Sabrina agreed ... adding that if you’re easily offended, there is the option to listen to it solo behind closed doors and at least get a chuckle out of it.

Jessie J is prioritizing her road to recovery over going on the road ... the singer just announced the cancellation of her U.S. tour and a postponement of other dates abroad.

The pop star shared the disappointing update Thursday, confirming the U.S. leg of her tour -- which was scheduled for November 2025 -- is no longer happening.

Per JJ, the decision came amid news she would need to have a second surgery following her hospitalization earlier this month. She assured fans it was "nothing too serious," but had to be done before the year ended.

The pop girlies are taking over ... and Ariana Grande's announcing her "Eternal Sunshine" tour, her first time hitting the stage in 7 years ... and yep, all the dates are here!

Ariana dropped the deets on IG Thursday ... the tour kicks off in Oakland, California next June, runs across North America, and wraps in August with a 5-night takeover of London’s O2 Arena.

The hype’s already in overdrive, especially after Ari teased it this week. Wednesday, she dropped a futuristic clip with the words "see you next year" and "announcement loading" flashing across the screen.

The Backsteet Boys are winning big in Sin City ... because we found out how much they are raking in with their Las Vegas residency ... and it's a huge figure.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the band is grossing $4 million a night for their ongoing residency at the Sphere.

Here's how they're pulling in that much on the daily ... our sources say there's not much overhead or significant expenses involved -- they paid a one time fee of about $7 to $8 million for all the graphics they use in their shows -- and they've more than recouped what they spent on creative.

Drake vs. Kendrick? Cute. The real heavyweight grudge match is in the senior circuit ...  'cause Mick Jagger’s new nemesis seems to be none other than George freakin' Thorogood!

Yup, TMZ snagged the vid -- 75-year-old blues-rock legend George exited Houston’s House of Blues Wednesday following his show with The Destroyers ... only to turn back, eye a fan and drop the line ... "You tell Mick Jagger he can suck on that," pointing at the venue behind him, to a few supportive cheers, with one onlooker exclaiming "U-S-A!"

For the record -- there’s zero known beef between the "Bad to the Bone" singer and 82-year-old Mick. So either George was flexing to claim he's the boss, straight-up trolling for kicks, or just tossing Mick's name out at random 'cause of an adrenaline high.

Meghan Trainor showed up dripping in glam at an L.A. premiere Wednesday night -- and hun, she worked those angles like a pro runway model on overtime!

The singer went full showstopper in a dangerously plunging black top flaunting that January breast augmentation ... teaming it with tiny white shorts, turning heads at "The Paper" premiere.

Meghan topped it off with an old Hollywood updo and killer heels, posing like she owned the red carpet and serving pure body-confidence vibes.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are continuing to feel the love from their celebrity peers ... with both Gracie Abrams and Lil Wayne separately taking moments to congratulate the couple onstage.

Hours after Taylor and Travis shared with the world that they're now engaged, Gracie -- who opened for T Swift on her global "Eras" tour -- took the stage in Mexico City and encouraged her fans to shout "Congratulations" to the happy pair.

After getting an enthusiastic response from the crowd, Gracie noted it felt like Taylor was with them in spirit ... and urged concert attendees to sing out Taylor's part in their hit song, "Us."

Festivalgoers looking to get it on at this year's Burning Man are going to have to find another safe space for sex ... 'cause the famed Orgy Dome was just destroyed in a crazy storm.

Yup, the Orgy Dome is totally what you think it is ... a large, tented, air-conditioned festival fixture with beds where people can go to -- consensually and with an ID -- knock one out ... or at least it was before a recent wind storm in Nevada's Black Rock Desert blew it apart.

In a message to IG with a video of the destroyed f*** palace, the group wrote ... "Our build team worked so hard this past week to *erect* our lovely space. Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa some workshops and will keep you updated."

10:41 AM PT -- The social media announcement teased a big hint at the couple's engagement timeline. Remember, Travis had longer hair up until the end of July, cutting it during training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Peep the pics, TK has noticeably shorter hair while proposing to Tay ... indicating he must've gotten down on one knee this month.

10:35 AM PT -- Moments after Taylor and Travis announced their big engagement news, TMZ learned the Ralph Lauren black-and-white striped dress Taylor wore for the proposal was already sold out.

Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce ... take that in!

Taylor and Travis jointly posted photos of the proposal on Instagram ... multiple pics of them in a garden setting, with Travis down on one knee. The caption -- "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨"

The couple set the post to Taylor's fan-favorite song, "So High School" from her "Tortured Poets Department" album ... which makes sense given the song is inspired by their romance.

TMZ has learned the engagement ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut. The jewelry designer is Kindred Lubeck ... and sources tell us the jeweler worked with Travis to design the sparkler.

Taylor and Travis' "Love Story" started back in July 2023, after the NFL tight end voiced his disappointment that he wasn't able to meet the pop star at her "Eras" tour stop in Kansas City. Travis made the confession on his "New Heights" podcast, admitting he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for her.

Word got back to Taylor, however, who later called the gesture something out of a "John Hughes movie" during her first "New Heights" podcast appearance in 2025.

The couple made their relationship public in September 2023, when Taylor attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game -- cheering on Travis from his box at Arrowhead Stadium.

Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her summer bod on full display in this eye-popping shot?! We'll set you up with a few clues, but then it's on you to score the unknown celeb ...

Born in Dallas, Texas, she obtained a following on the social media apps Keek and Tumblr. In 2016, her single 'Pretty Girl' hit the music charts. She was the opening act for Sabrina Carpenter.

Boy band worlds collided at the Sphere in Las Vegas ... because *NSYNC superstar JC Chasez hit up the venue to see the Backstreet Boys ... and he was treated like royalty.

Our sources tell us JC sat and watched the concert with James Dolan in his suite ... Dolan owns the Sphere, Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks ... so you already know those are good seats!!!

Before the show, JC went to dinner with his girlfriend, Jenn, his manager, Eric Podwall and President of Entertainment for MGM Resorts Ryan Abboushi ... and at the Sphere, he posed for some photos with Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough.

Taylor Swift is in full promo mode, launching another highly anticipated countdown on her website ... resulting in the drop of her 4th vinyl collection.

The Grammy winner sent fans into a tizzy Monday when she put up another countdown clock ... but this time set the countdown for 4 PM ET -- 2 hours later than her prior drops.

The pivot in time had fans hopeful for a shakeup from the vinyl announcements for her upcoming 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl" -- given she had announced a handful of designs already.

Billy Ray Cyrus currently has no "achy breaky" family drama with daughter Miley Cyrus ... proving this to be true by releasing the sweet birthday song she wrote for him.

The country legend was just about beaming while sharing a snippet of the unreleased single, titled "Secrets," which was penned and performed by Miley -- oh, and featured Billy's favorite band, Fleetwood Mac.

Take a look, Billy filmed himself sitting in a field and listening to the new track, which he played on his phone. BRC looked beyond thrilled by the new anthem, bobbing his head and smiling repeatedly while listening to his daughter belt out her tune.
