One of music's biggest nights is goin' down tomorrow, so we're giving you an exclusive opportunity to cast your faves and place your bets ahead of the show ...

The American Music Awards have never exactly been a quiet night in Hollywood -- from wild stage moments to red carpet drama, TMZ's locked in the legendary moments that left fans doing double takes!

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake arriving to the AMAs in matching denim is an obvious stand-out, but what about Kanye West storming out after he lost Best New Artist to country singer Gretchen Wilson in 2004?!

These are the AMAs shockers people still talk about long after the lights go down.

Rob Base, one-half of the legendary duo with DJ E-Z Rock behind the classic hit "It Takes Two," has died at 59.

The rapper -- born Robert Ginyard -- passed away peacefully after a private battle with cancer on Friday surrounded by family ... just four days after celebrating his birthday.

His family remembered him in an Instagram post as a loving father, friend and "creative force whose impact will never be forgotten."

Ashley Parker Angel is weighing in on celebrity burnout and the fixation with healthy aging ... and he’s got a message for every overworked A-lister.

The former O-Town heartthrob was spotted out in NYC and we ask him all about Gen-Z introducing the idea of taking mental health breaks into workplaces -- especially in the entertainment industry -- and he tells us he's all for it, being that millennials didn't really touch the topic of mental health, vulnerably saying ... "I've been though it."

We asked Ashley specifically about Megan Thee Stallion stepping away from "Moulin Rouge!" following her split from NBA star Klay Thompson … and this former Broadway star didn’t hesitate to defend the move.

Calling all you mighty Millennials, ballin' Boomers, groovy Gen X-ers, and everyone else ...

The American Music Awards are on Monday, and unlike other award shows, the AMAs are fan-driven. We’re showcasing the hottest Gen Z nominees of 2026, backed by stats that prove their popularity.

And of course, we’ve included honorable millennial mentions -- all of whom Gen Z loves, too!

Before this dressed up girl from Pennsylvania turned into a global superstar, she was just getting all dolled up for her recitals and posting YouTube covers ...

She hasn't won any American Music Awards (just yet), but she's definitely wrangled in some nominations, and this year she's up for a hefty amount.

🎶 "Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get, And I like my men all incompetent!" 🎶

Lizzo let a necklace hang from her 'Grrrls' at the amfAR Gala in Cannes on Thursday ... wearing a piece connecting her dress's faux nipples.

Yes, you read that right ... the singer-songwriter blinged out the prominent buds on her gorgeous blue dress with a humongous glittering necklace -- letting the chain hang down toward her belly button

She added extra bling to her neck and elbow-length blue gloves ... but, we've got a feeling her chest accessory may have grabbed the spotlight.

Jessie J just finished her yearly check-up after undergoing breast cancer surgery last year ... and she shared some fantastic news.

In a video on Instagram from the hospital ... the singer admitted she was super nervous for the test -- and that makes sense ... she had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction following an early-stage cancer diagnosis last April. But she got good news.

In the caption, she wrote ... "‼️RESULTS ARE IN AND I AM CANCER FREE‼️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭"

American pop band Echosmith -- made of siblings Sydney Sierota, Noah Sierota, Graham Sierota, and Jamie Sierota –- rose to superstardom when their hit song "Cool Kids" hit the charts back in 2014.

The bop hit number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains echoing in our heads to this day.

Harry Styles’ team is reviewing parts of the stage setup for his "Together, Together" tour ... after some fans complained about restricted views from certain sections in the stadium.

A rep for the tour tells TMZ ... "The floor concept was designed to give fans freedom of movement and the ability to experience the show from different positions, rather than being confined to one fixed viewing angle. That open, free-flowing floor experience has always been an essential part of Harry’s live shows."

The statement continues ... "A small area of the staging in specific floor positions appears to have had a restricted sightline. Those areas are being reviewed carefully and adjusted where possible in compliance with all safety restrictions."

Paris Jackson looked extremely concerned about her health as she showed her friend the swelling on her neck.

Michael’s only daughter was spotted holding her neck while her male friend looked intensely at the spot. At one point, Paris moved her hair to the side to give him a better view. 

As TMZ previously reported, over the weekend, Paris admitted she got an ultrasound on her neck after people on social media flagged it looked “weird.” 

Paris said on social media that her neck looked different because she’s a singer … and her vocal cords work harder than most. 

You won't catch Linda Perry sharpening her pitchfork over Nicki Minaj's support of Donald Trump ... she's just chalking it up to a "lapse of judgment."

In an interview with Billboard's "Pop Shop Podcast" last week ... the 4 Non Blondes singer said she thinks NM must be in a bit of a pickle if she's going full MAGA.

Linda told Billboard ... "In Nicki’s case, it seems that she wanted something from the office and was trying to maybe help herself, a friend, a boyfriend — whatever — and was promised something and felt that it was worth the risk to take."

Aqua -- the European dance-pop group behind the hit song "Barbie Girl" -- is breaking up almost 30 years after the release of their global hit.

Band members Lene Nystrøm, René Dif, and Søren Rasted took to social media to announce the end of a 3-decade era, writing ... "AQUA has been such a huge part of our lives, and together we’ve had the chance to experience more than we ever dared to dream of."

They thanked fans for their support and noted that they've got "nothing but love and gratitude" for their time in the group.

Paris Jackson took fans' worry to heart ... and got an ultrasound of her neck after some people were saying on her social media it looked "weird."

But it's all good ... Paris just took to Instagram to say there's nothing wrong with her neck -- other than some vocal chord "redness" -- assuring fans that her neck looks the way it does because she's a singer and uses those muscles more than normies.

The daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe took fans' worry for real -- and it even made her begin to fear the worst, she said in previous IG Story posts.

Dennis Locorriere -- the unmistakable voice and longtime front man tied to the global success of Dr. Hook -- has died, TMZ has learned.

In a statement released by his management, they confirmed he passed away peacefully on May 16, 2026, surrounded by loved ones after what they described as a “long and courageous battle” with kidney disease.

They added that Locorriere faced his illness with “remarkable strength, dignity, and resilience,” and remained deeply loved by those closest to him. “He will be remembered for his warmth, love, and the lasting impact he had on those around him,” the statement continued, while asking for privacy for his family and loved ones during this time.

Harry Styles launched his "Together, Together" tour in Amsterdam Saturday night with none other than Zoë Kravitz spotted in the crowd, supporting her reported fiancé.

The actress was seen attending Styles’ show in The Netherlands, where the singer launched his latest run of performances to a packed arena ... following the release of his album "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally."

Kravitz appeared relaxed and like a proud wifey as she watched from the audience -- alongside comedian and longtime friend of Styles, James Corden -- cheering on her reported fiancé during the high-energy set.
