Alfonso Ribeiro was back doing what he does best -- putting smiles on faces -- and this time, it wasn’t the Carlton dance, it was his vocal pipes stealing the show.

TMZ snagged the fun clip ... the 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star hit up L.A.’s Lakeside Country Club on Saturday -- and had the whole place vibin', belting out Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson’s "Uptown Funk."

Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson says there's a not-so "Quiet Storm" blowing through our lives with the emergence of A.I. ... and he suggests artists do what they can to protect themselves.

The soul and R&B legend told us at LAX Monday he thinks A.I. is "probably one of the most dangerous things that's ever happened."

According to Smokey, the only thing you can do to fight people using A.I. against you is try to own your image and likeness -- something he's already done.

The final cause of death is still unclear, but a rep for the St. Johns County Sheriff tells TMZ ... "Deputies responded to an attended death at that address." An "attended death" is one in which the deceased has been a patient under medical care for a serious or life-threatening illness that will likely lead to death in a relatively short period of time -- days or months, but not years.

According to the Vanderbilt Hustler, Chris made it clear he loves meeting fans, but this night wasn’t about him ... he was strictly there to support his daughter Friday.

As for Apple, she gave it her all, but the internet, of course, split in two ... some fans swore she sounded amazing, others said she’s got some polishing to do. But hey, everyone’s gotta start somewhere!

Axl Rose has always had a fiery temper --- and it flared up BIGTIME in Argentina over the weekend while performing onstage with Guns N' Roses.

Kevin Federline’s getting dragged by folks accusing him of cashing in on ex Britney Spears with his new memoir, "You Thought You Knew" ... but he’s got backup from the last surviving LFO member Brad Fischetti, who says K-Fed’s always been a solid dude.

Brad tells TMZ Kevin was a stand-up guy from the jump, literally, recalling the first time he hit the road with them in 2000, when he jumped in to save him during a random attack ... pulling a guy off who'd blindsided and pummeled Brad.

On top of having his back, Brad says he’s got nothing but good memories of Kevin -- calling him mild-mannered, funny, super personable... and, no surprise here, an incredible dancer.

Britney Spears' ex-husband isn't the only one dropping bombshells about her, now Brit herself says she's suffered brain damage.

In a tirade posted Sunday evening, she wrote, "I do feel like my wings were taken away and brain damage happened to me a long time ago 100 percent ... I have of course moved on from that troubling time in my life and I'm blessed to be alive..."

There's no clarification on which "troubling time" she's talking about, but her "wings" seemed to refer to her shoulder blades -- the rambling post included a pic from behind of Brit on a horse, and a discussion of the movie character, Maleficent, having her wings clipped.

Kenny Loggins is super pissed Donald Trump ripped his classic "Danger Zone" for a recent controversial video ... and the iconic singer is ready to take action.

Here's the deal ... Trump used the 'Top Gun' classic in an A.I. video in which DT pilots a jet while wearing a crown ... and proceeds to dump poop on No Kings protesters, who were out in several major cities this weekend.

A source close to Kenny tells TMZ … the rocker is exploring legal options to ensure Trump stops using his music … but it’s complicated in this instance ‘cause Kenny doesn’t own full copyright to the tune. Two other guys -- Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock -- wrote and composed 'Danger Zone' along with Kenny for Warner Bros.

The performer was best known for his work with the 6-string bass, and he was one of the first musicians to extensively use the instrument, according to CBS 42.

Brandy says she did return to the stage after initially leaving it ... but adds she couldn't connect to the tunes sonically -- and acknowledges it wasn't her best show by any stretch of imagination.

Brandy and Monica's The Boy Is Mine Tour hit a snag Saturday night when Brandy abruptly walked off stage mid performance, leaving Monica to close the show solo.

We know plenty of artists are on the fence about the effects of A.I. on the music industry -- and we wanna see if you can guess who this forward-thinking singer is!

We caught up with this guy at LAX in May this year, and he was pretty open about not being too afraid of A.I. -- because he claimed no one could do it like he can!
