Ashley Parker Angel isn't ruling out a future return to O-Town ... telling us "never say never" when asked if he'd ever consider reuniting with the group ... but it sounds like there's some lingering issues that need to be resolved.

Ashley chopped it up with Alexa Klohn and Charlie Neff on the "TMZ Podcast" and he revealed there's still some group drama that hasn't been fully hashed out. He says they simply haven't found the right environment to have those difficult conversations.

Despite all that, the boy band singer insists he's supportive of his former bandmates and is happy they're continuing to perform and celebrate O-Town's legacy.

Ariana Grande does have tears left to cry after all ... and she let them out onstage during her tour.

Wiping away tears, Ariana explained feeling overwhelmed "in the most beautiful way ever."

Oliver Tree's ex Melanie Martinez says she's been an "absolute wreck" ever since news broke that the popular singer died in a fiery helicopter crash.

In her message, Martinez showered Tree with praise, writing that he was a true artist with a soft heart and a contagious and warm laugh.

Oliver Tree laid out the details of his will during an interview just weeks before his death ... and he says his family's not getting a dime.

The singer-songwriter -- who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash on Sunday -- appeared on the "Zach Sang Show" back in April ... and he told the host he doesn't feel the wealth he's made from music belongs to him.

Tree says he set up his will so most of his cash is going back to artists through a foundation he started.

Wu-Tang Clan is being hailed by New York Knicks' fans as the savior of their historic NBA Finals comeback win ... and while RZA wouldn't say they helped the Knicks triumph, he tells TMZ the iconic group brought a spark to a deflated Madison Square Garden.

Here's the deal ... the Knicks were getting destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs at halftime of Game 4 when Wu took the floor for a performance that got the place rockin' and rolling.

RZA tells TMZ ... the group had to dig deep ... because they were also super bummed by the Spurs having their way with their team ... so they changed some lyrics to include the Knicks in their songs to make sure fans got back in the mood ... and the rest is, well, history.

The man who was arrested after Sabrina Carpenter claimed he showed up at her home multiple times is now objecting to her request for court-ordered protection against him ... TMZ has learned.

Sabrina obtained a temporary restraining order against William Applegate earlier this month ... but Applegate is now asking the court to deny the singer's request for a permanent order prohibiting him from coming near her ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Applegate said he did not believe Sabrina wanted the restraining order … and that it was concocted by her team and "brought against Carpenter's will by her employed security group and the Los Angeles Police Department in conjunction with her legal team as an artifact of a military government program's maligned instructions."

He claimed Sabrina's Coachella performances on April 10 and April 17 were "made for and directed at me."

Applegate also alleged that the singer and her family "knew about my presence outside her residence as soon as it began in April."

A clip of Taylor Swift talking to Jimmy Jam at Thursday's Songwriters Hall of Fame red carpet is going viral -- showing her telling the R&B legend she was having trouble holding a conversation with him -- but we're told the video doesn't tell the whole story.

Check out the short clip ... Taylor and Jimmy are chatting it up on the red carpet before Thursday night's ceremony kicked off at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in NYC.

Their back and forth seemed a bit awkward, and it didn't take long for Taylor to say ... "I feel like I'm no good at conversation right now."

Olivia Rodrigo named her new album "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love" ... but judging by these pics, she's looking anything but gloomy!

Whether she's locked in with a pair of headphones at a recording studio or strumming away during a guitar jam session, she's clearly having the time of her life.

Taylor Swift just hit the red carpet for the Songwriters Hall of Fame looking absolutely dazzling ... and a far cry from her going bonkers last night at the Knicks game.

'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star Miranda Hope is kicking off her country music career with a bang ... and let's just say her debut single isn't exactly a love letter.

Speaking on the "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast, Miranda opened up about her upcoming track, "FU4THAT," after the hosts pointed out it was quite the departure from her religious upbringing. Miranda agreed wholeheartedly ... making it clear she's done letting people walk all over her.

According to Miranda, the song represents the gap between the old version of herself -- the chronic people-pleaser -- and the woman she's become today, someone who's no longer interested in taking anyone's crap.

Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun were within striking distance last night at the Knicks game … but we've learned they did NOT cross paths.

Sources tell TMZ ... Taylor, who was sitting courtside with her girlfriends Alana and Este Haim, was directly in front of Scooter and his girlfriend, Sydney Sweeney, but there were no interactions. 

Many wondered if the two bumped into each other while in the same arena … or if they somehow made contact after chaos erupted when the Knicks beat the Spurs in the final seconds. 

The near run-in comes weeks after Scooter spoke out about the ongoing drama with Taylor on a podcast, revealing he has only met her a handful of times in his life.

The singer is showing off his sculpted arms and classic mustache in the process. But sadly, no back flips were in this performance.

Avery Wilson has no issue with President Trump being mercilessly booed at the NBA Finals while he sang the national anthem -- but his feelings have nothing to do with politics!

Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor is pushing back on Morgan Wallen's excuse for scrapping a concert in his town ... and he says Morgan's full of it.

The country music star claims he consulted Pittsburgh officials before calling off his Saturday performance due to a bad weather forecast ... but Mayor O'Connor says Morgan never actually talked to them and was acting on his own.

O'Connor told KDKA Radio ... "There was no contact to Public Safety or my administration so however the artist and his team picked to not have the show, that was on them, there was no consulting for Public Safety or the City of Pittsburgh."

Michelle Williams is finally setting the record straight on one of Destiny's Child's most infamous interviews ... insisting the group wasn't high -- they were just flat-out exhausted.

Michelle went on the "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast and addressed the viral 2001 interview that's had fans convinced for years they were under the influence.

According to Michelle, there wasn't a single substance involved ... just a brutal case of jet lag.

Michelle explained the group was running on fumes when they sat down for the interview, leaving them tired, loopy, and a little delirious ... but definitely not stoned.

Bianca passes the glass of raw cow's milk to Ye, who starts pouring it in her mouth.

The white fluid overflows and runs down Bianca's chin ... cascading between her boobs and dripping between her legs.
