Chilli is officially a grandma at 53 'cause her son, Tron Austin, has just welcomed his first child with his wife, Jeong Ah Wang!

Tron -- whom the TLC singer shares with her ex, Dallas Austin -- made the big announcement Saturday ... sharing a sweet IG snap of his newborn daughter and his wife, right from the hospital in Seoul, South Korea.

He wrote ... "On this day March 2nd, 2024 at 1:59pm 6.173 LBS/2.8kg an angel from heaven was born our beautiful daughter LUA婁娥) we are officially parents!!"

Tron also shared that Jeong had to undergo an emergency C-section a few days earlier than her expected due date, sending their anxiety levels through the roof. But he gushed that despite the challenges ... his wife courageously powered through to bring their healthy and beautiful baby girl into the world.

Tron and Jeong shared their pregnancy news back in September, revealing they'd been on quite the fertility journey to get to this point ... and now, you can tell they're proud parents.

Jeong went through a laundry list of procedures -- two HSG procedures, a hysteroscopy, having both her tubes and scar tissue removed from hernia and appendicitis surgeries, one egg retrieval and a heartbreaking miscarriage. The hardships were clearly worth it in the end!

As of right now, Tron's mama Chilli hasn't said anything publicly about her granddaughter just yet, but she's probably soaking up every moment with her newest family member.

Wouldn't you know it, Taylor Swift is related to a famous American poet ... none other than the late, great Emily Dickinson.

Taylor and Emily are sixth cousins, three times removed ... and they both descend from the same 17th-century English immigrant who settled in Connecticut ... genealogy company Ancestry told Today.

The common ancestor is Taylor's 9th great-grandfather and Emily's 6th great-grandfather ... with Taylor's side of the family living in Connecticut for 6 generations before moving to northwestern Pennsylvania and marrying into the Swift family tree.

While Taylor's the biggest star in the world, Emily was obviously quite talented too ... Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems before her death in 1886 and she's widely regarded as one of the most important women in American literature.

Unclear if Taylor knows about the familial connection -- but it sounds like she may ... as she referenced Emily in 2022 when she won the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor said ... "If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson's great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain, that's me writing in the Quill genre."

Swifties have also theorized Taylor's 2020 album, "Evermore," drew inspiration from Dickinson ... because there were plenty of Easter eggs.

Taylor announced the surprise album on Emily's birthday, and a few days before the album release she said the idea behind her "Folklore" album cover was a "girl sleepwalking through the forest in a nightgown in 1830" ... the year Emily was born.

Billie Eilish's ex-BF has Christian Bale to thank for their relationship not standing the test of time -- all 'cause of a random dream she had years earlier.

The singer spilled the beans about how a dream featuring "The Dark Knight" actor led her to end her relationship ... all while chatting about their favorite superheroes with Amelia Dimoldenberg at the Oscars Nominees' 'Pre-Luncheon' Luncheon alongside her bro, Finneas.

Billie recalls the dream -- it took place in a cozy little café, the sun shone in, and then ... bam, she wakes up ... and it's like a lightbulb goes off in her head! That's one hell of a wake-up call, literally!

She says it was at that very moment, still lying in bed after having the dream, that she knew she had to break up with her boyfriend.

The "Ocean Eyes' singer didn't reveal who she was referring to -- but it's worth noting that she's been linked to actor Matthew Tyler Vorce and rapper Brandon 'Q' Adams in the past.

Billie's most recent relationship was with The Neighbourhood's lead vocalist, Jesse Rutherford, but their love story hit a speed bump and ended last year. Her rep told TMZ at the time, "We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," ... while also shooting down cheating rumors that surfaced.

As for now, it looks like Billie ain't focused on no man ... 'cause her career's soaring to new heights! She and Finneas have their sights set on the Oscars Sunday, where they're nominated for Best Original Song for "What Was I Made For?" from "Barbie," and they'll also be performing at the ceremony.

Billie's clearly doing better than ever RN ... and looks like she has Bale's unintentional superhero powers to thank for it!!

Taylor Swift's Singapore concerts are bringing out the stars, and we're talking international ones too -- 'cause Barry Keoghan showed up ... as did a member of a huge K-pop group.

The pop star kept her international "Eras" tour rolling this weekend with more shows out in Singapore -- where she's scheduled to perform six times before heading on out to Europe in May. She once again brought Sabrina Carpenter to open her new string of shows.

That was pretty noteworthy with the presence of Barry ... who's dating Sabrina, and who was front and center to watch his girlfriend do her thing onstage before Tay Tay came out.

Watch ... he looked pretty smitten watching her, covering his mouth and seemingly singing along. Once Sabrina's set wrapped, she was seen hitting the VIP tent with him to watch the main act ... safe to say, their romance is going strong -- be it here in the States or abroad.

BK was far from the only worldly star in the building, BTW -- Lisa from BLACKPINK was also at the show Sunday ... and she actually snagged a photo with T-Swift herself, which was epic.

If you're not familiar ... BLACKPINK is a HUGE deal internationally, especially in Asia. So, the fact she jetted on over to Singapore to catch America's biggest star is pretty noteworthy. It's almost like K-pop royalty is meeting American royalty ... and their fans went nuts over it.

It's not quite sleeping with the enemy, but Jamie Lynn Spears is raising some eyebrows by attending Christina Aguilera's concert Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Of course, Britney Spears' longtime nemesis currently has a residency at Voltaire at the Venetian in Sin City, and there are pics and videos making the rounds on social media ... purportedly showing Brit's kid sis at the show.

If Jamie Lynn got her tickets like a normie ... it was no easy feat. Christina's show is sold out, unless you go through a scalping site. Some of those tickets are going for up to $1500.

But, since Brit and Xtina go way back -- to their Mickey Mouse Club days -- it's likely Jamie Lynn might have been able to pull a few stings.

The question is ... how will Britney feel about it? There were signs a few months ago, she was making peace with family members -- including Jamie Lynn and their mother, Lynn.

It's unclear where they stand right now, but hopefully she doesn't view Jamie Lynn's choice of entertainment as a diss.

While the rivalry between the pop princesses was mostly in the heads of fans, Brit has definitely felt some sorta way about Christina in the past.

Back in 2021, she dragged Christina for not speaking out about her conservatorship -- and, last year, when Brit's childhood home in Louisiana went on the market ... it included an OG furnishing with the words "Christina sucks, Brit rules" scribbled in black marker.

Timothée Chalamet may just have a future in music ... or, at least, that's what famed film score composer Hans Zimmer tells TMZ.

We caught up with the 66-year-old Oscar winner in NYC ... and HZ had high praise for Timothée's musical mind after the two worked on the new 'Dune' films. As Hans tells us ... he had TC -- who plays leading man Paul Atreides in "Dune: Part Two" -- weigh in on the upcoming sci-fi flick's score ... and the 28-year-old actor "knows his stuff."

Hans ... who actually first worked with TC on Christopher Nolan's 2014 "Interstellar" film ... hinted he was open to co-composing with the A-lister on a future project -- but the ball, or baton rather, is in Timothée's hand.

Timothée's no stranger to music -- you'll recall, the "Wonka" star's singing chops were front and center for the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" prequel film last year. Kylie Jenner's boyfriend also went viral in 2017 for rapping as his alter-ego "Timmy Tim" in resurfaced videos from his high school days.

HZ didn't just have love for Timothée ... as he also shouted out leading lady Zendaya's musical instincts. But, that isn't new information -- the former Disney Channel star collaborated with Labrinth on the soulful song "All for Us" for season 1 of HBO's "Euphoria."

Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world ... so it's no shock she can kick off a conflict between two sovereign nations -- and all because of where she's performing next weekend.

Here's the deal ... obviously, T-Swift's over in Singapore right now, having just completed the first three of six concerts in the country. After her next three shows, she's outtie 5000 on Southeast Asia.

The reasons this is drawing ire ... a deal was reportedly brokered by Singaporean authorities that Taylor would not perform in other territories in the region thus making Singapore a must-travel destination for Swifties in Asia.

Well, one lawmaker in the Philippines ain't having that ... publicly calling out the Singaporean government for not exactly being neighborly.

Phillippines politician Joey Salceda is calling on his government's foreign affairs department to protest the grant allegedly given to Swift to keep an exclusivity deal with Singapore.

Salceda told a local outlet that the governments are supposed to be friends ... so in his mind, this is a very hurtful betrayal by the Singaporean gov.

BTW ... Thailand's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin backing up Salceda's claim -- with Sky News reporting he said he asked AEG, the company behind Tay's tour why she wasn't coming, and they told him all about the exclusivity deal.

Taylor's clearly not letting all the bad blood ruin her mood though ... 'cause she's staying focused on her shows -- putting on several impressive performances for all the Swifties who traveled to see her.

Tish Cyrus is looking back at her parenting and seeing ways she could've improved ... chief among them, rolling up a joint and mellowing out a bit!

The mother of Miley and Noah Cyrus opened up about her parenting skills on a recent episode of her "Sorry We're Stoned" podcast ... telling guest Wiz Khalifa she regrets not doing some toking back when her kids were growing up.

The way Tish puts it ... she didn't pick up the Mary Jane until she was in her mid-40s, years after her kids were in their teens -- so she feels she wasn't as much fun as she could've been with a little pot.

Tish's daughter Brandi -- seated right alongside her mom -- said she probably woulda chilled out about a few things too ... a jab Tish couldn't have agreed with more.

BTW ... Wiz also has a song about smoking weed with Miley Cyrus titled "23" which came out in 2013 -- a song that made a then-anti-marijuana Tish really upset!

It's a bit ironic Tish is looking back on her parenting ... since a lot of people online are currently gossiping about her relationship with her daughter Noah.

Remember ... reports surfaced earlier this week that Noah was actually dating Tish's new husband Dominic Purcell first -- before Mama Tish swooped in and stole him away.

The Cyrus family's dealing with a ton of issues ... with Miley not thanking Billy Ray Cyrus in her Grammys acceptance speech and Noah reportedly estranged from TIsh.the

Nicki Minaj fans are clearly passionate ... both about her music and standing their ground, it seems -- 'cause a group of her supporters got into a fight during her tour's opening performance!

The Barbz brawl went down Friday night in Oakland ... the first night of her much-anticipated "Pink Friday 2 World Tour" -- and it definitely started the whole concert run off with a bang.

Just check out the clip ... a couple fans dressed in black are exchanging punches in one section -- with someone in an all-pink ensemble and dyed pink hair hopping into the scuffle.

The person in pink getting shoved back seems to set one of the angry fans off even more ... and they jump forward to start raining blows down on the other combatants.

Unfortunately for them, their opponents quickly put 'em in a headlock and start hitting them over and over while being held back against the seats.

Eventually, some security guards come over and break up the fight, but members of the crowd can be heard seemingly questioning the person in pink's gender -- overall, a pretty ugly scene.

The whole thing marred what was otherwise a very impressive show ... with Nicki breaking out all her classic hits including "Starships" which she said a few months ago she was done performing.

Elle King is back to performing live, getting on a stage in Arizona ... her first time since her "hammered" debacle at the Grand Ole Opry during a night celebrating Dolly Parton's birthday.

TMZ obtained this footage of Elle's show Friday night in Tempe, AZ ... where she was one of the singers playing the Extra Innings Festival.

Fans noticed the country singer kept a bottled water within arms reach all night ... and took several swigs of it during her set.

It's a total 180 from when Elle was last seen at the Opry in Nashville back in late January. She was admittedly drunk as she forgot the words to one of Dolly's tunes -- which wouldn't be the worst thing ever, but she followed that up by making up jibberish lyrics and berating the audience.

After one tune, she barked at the crowd, "I'm not even gonna f***ing lie … y'all bought tickets for this s***, you ain't getting your money back."

Days after that s***show, she abruptly postponed her next scheduled gig in Texas, but never provided any reason. She's been out of the public eye since then.

Elle was shown a ton of grace by Dolly herself, who told Extra ... Elle is a great girl who just had a bit too much to drink. She also urged fans to "forgive that and forget it and move on, 'cause [Elle] felt worse than anyone ever could."

We're told Elle did not make any reference to the Dolly disaster during her show Friday night ... however she did sing songs about boozing -- like "Chain Smokin', Hard Drinkin' Woman" and "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)" -- she's a country singer, after all.

That being said, she kept it sober on stage, and by all counts sounded great.

Rihanna's absolutely glowing and grinning after her killer set at a wedding party thrown by the richest man in Asia -- and she even left the gig with some parting gifts to go along with an astronomical payday.

RiRi strolled through the Jamnagar Airport in Western India Saturday, and was clearly feeling pretty good about her performance. As we reported, she was hired to play the pre-wedding party for the son of Mukesh Ambani, the industrialist worth $112 billion.

By all accounts, he got his money's worth -- Rihanna reportedly played 17 songs on a stage fit for one of her stadium tours with all the lighting and special effects popping off around her as she belted out hits like "We Found Love" and "B**** Better Have My Money."

Hell, it might actually be a set from one of her previous concerts, judging by the massive crates of equipment she arrived with when she touched down in India.

The 1,200 friends and family of Anant Ambani and his bride-to-be Radhika Merchant didn't want to miss a second of the show as they had their phones out, recording the singer's stunning set.

BTW, the guests included scores of VIPs from around the world, including Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

As Rihanna made her way through the airport Saturday morning, she was carrying a giant box or bag that had "THANK YOU" printed on it.

Not that we've been in that situation, but we're guessing when you attend a party thrown by the 11th richest man in the world, everyone -- even the headliner -- leaves with a badass swag bag.

The real reason for her smile, though, is probably the direct deposit hitting her account -- she was reportedly paid $6 million for the one-night gig ... but, because the show was so long, there's speculation she even got up to 8 figures!

Taylor Swift is putting her romance with Travis Kelce into song ... reportedly writing a couple tracks about the guy on the Chiefs.

The pop star, famed for writing about her exes, has already written at least 2 songs about her current BF, and the lyrics focus on how she fell in love with him ... according to an Us Weekly report.

The outlet cites a source calling the new songs personal and special, but adds, that doesn't mean she's going to record and release them.

Taylor's got a new album coming out next month called "The Tortured Poets Department," but don't expect her odes to Trav on that project -- in fact, the report says she likely won't share them with anyone.

There's plenty of content for Taylor to write about with Travis -- his summer pursuit of her during the "Eras" tour, each of them appearing at NFL games and concerts and, of course, the Super Bowl and lots of private jet flights.

The speculation is Taylor's next project focuses more on her split from Joe Alywn than her love story with Travis ... so Swifties might not wanna hold their breath for Travis references.

Justin Bieber's celebrating his 30th birthday today -- but he probably wasn't expecting this gift ... a wax figure in his image and likeness, although people are asking ... is it really???

Madame Tussauds rolled out their latest creation Friday -- unveiling a new Bieber figurine just in time for him to celebrate the big 3-0 ...  and, per usual, folks are pretty divided on whether this actually looks like him or not.

Check it out ... Madame Tussauds says the artist modeled this wax Bieber after JB's look in his "Peaches" music video ... but some aren't really seeing the vision. On the other hand ... a good amount of people say this is actually a pretty decent rendition of the Biebs.

While the wax figure may have somewhat of a passing resemblance to JB ... a lot of the comments are saying there's something a little off about this version of Justin.

Some folks say the figure looks more like Brooklyn Beckham or Latin pop singer Miguel Pregueiro -- but hey, eye of the beholder on this type of stuff.

Of course, others are being a little meaner in the replies ... someone says it looks like "Justina Bieber" and another user says this "looks like Justin Bieber from China."

Frankly, there have been worse Justin Bieber wax figurines over his career -- this one just happens to be hitting the streets on a momentous day, which is why it's getting extra attention.

Lil Wayne and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently spoke out against their own botched wax figures, but no word on this one yet from the man himself. He's been laying low today.

Justin Bieber hit a big milestone on Friday -- he finally turned 30 ... and let's just say, it's been a long, eventful ride getting to this number, which is worth looking back on.

It's been a wild ride for the Biebs ... who first caught the attention of super-manager Scooter Braun back in 2008. He signed with Braun and Usher not long after ... but, not before they had to outbid Justin Timberlake.

Since then, Bieber's music career has obviously taken off ... with Justin winning Grammys, embarking on world tours and rolling in millions over the next 15 years or so. Of course, his fan base has absolutely ballooned as well ... with millions upon millions of Beliebers.

Outside of his wildly successful music career -- Justin has proven to be popular with the ladies ... remember JB was linked to several famous faces over the years ... including Sofia Richie, Nicola Peltz, Kourtney Kardashian and, of course, longtime GF Selena Gomez.

None of those relationships lasted ... partly because of personal troubles Justin dealt with over the next decade. Justin's late teens and early 20s were full of controversy and tumult (who can forget the confiscated monkey) which included his notorious 2014 DUI arrest.

Bieber fought with personal issues for years ... that is, until he finally cleaned up his act and turned to God, while also getting back together with another one of his famous exes -- Hailey Baldwin, who's now Mrs. Bieber.

Justin and Hailey married in September 2018 -- the end of a whirlwind rekindling that reportedly began just months before the two said their vows. They've been together ever since ... looking lovestruck every time they're spotted together, and tied at the hip.

More recently, Justin's been plagued by health issues ... including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which paralyzed part of his face and forced him to cancel his "Justice" world tour. He hasn't performed much since 2022 -- and there's no sign he's gonna hit the big stage again soon.

Remember, he'd been approached about performing with Usher at the Super Bowl Halftime Show -- but in the end, he passed on it ... even though he did attend the game itself.

Bieber chose to remain a spectator for that one, but it was still good to see him out and about. He actually hits the town a lot with Hailey these days ... but he ain't talking much.

And yet ... his fans absolutely adore him, to this day. For good reason obviously -- he's a star among stars, and then some -- and on his 30th birthday ... it's crazy to think we've spent all these years with him in the public spotlight.

Rihanna is set to perform at a lavish pre-wedding event in India this weekend for the son of Asia's richest man ... and she's already in town, with a crap ton of luggage with her.

Check out this footage from earlier in the week that purports to show a conveyor belt full of massive briefcases, storage units and full-blown crates ... all of which are said to have been carrying her belongings. If true, that's pretty crazy ... this is a helluva lot of stuff!

The singer has been booked to perform at a pre-wedding party for Anant Ambani -- the youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani -- and Radhika Merchant, who are set to tie the knot in July ... but who are raging early for 3 days straight starting Friday in Gujarat, India.

Countless celebs and tycoons have been invited -- and a handful have already flown into town to celebrate with the couple. Rihanna has been hired as the main talent -- although her fee has been kept a secret. Ya gotta figure it's quite a bundle ... 'cause she agreed to do it.

The Ambani family is known for hiring the world's biggest stars to perform at their parties -- Beyoncé notably performed at the 2018 pre-wedding ceremony for Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. A year later ... Coldplay's Chris Martin and The Chainsmokers took the stage at Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta's pre-wedding celebration -- which took place in Switzerland. Now, they got RiRi on the lineup ... so yeah, they go all out for their own.

It's clear that Mukesh is once again sparing no expense to celebrate the expansion of his family. Famed magician David Blaine has reportedly also been booked to perform throughout the star-studded weekend ... and his services probably don't come cheap either.

Meta CEO and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan have already given a glimpse at the festivities -- posting on Instagram a photo of themselves dressed to the nines.

Ivanka Trump, meanwhile, was also spotted among the guests, with other reported attendees including Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai -- who are all expected to follow an alleged nine-page dress code.

Now before you scoff at this display of wealth ... the couple has made sure to give back to the community -- kicking off their loved-up weekend with a communal dinner for 51,000 locals. Yes, they literally hosted a massive meal for tens of thousands of people in their area. Wild!

10:10 AM -- Karol G is giving an update on this morning's plane incident on her IG story ... thanking everyone who was worried, and says she's okay along with her family and team -- while also stating God blesses us with life and health.

Karol G had a super scary experience Thursday as her private plane filled with smoke midflight and was forced to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles.

The Grammy-winning singer was among 16 others on the private jet, which took off from Hollywood Burbank Airport in the evening, according to ABC News.

The aircraft flew east for a while, but then turned around at Cajon Pass about 70 miles away and flew back to nearby Van Nuys Airport after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.

Luckily, the plane safely landed on the runway and everyone on board seemed physically uninjured. Footage shows the aircraft touching down on the tarmac, as well as the dramatic aftermath.

Per the video ... Fire crews responded to the runway, directing the jet to a parking area. The passengers left through the exit door, climbing down a flight of stairs -- including a woman who appeared to be Karol, talking on her cell phone.

Karol's famous arm tattoo of a barbed-wire heart was also emblazoned on the side of the plane.

We've reached out to Karol and the Federal Aviation Administration for comment ... so far, no word back.
