Frankie Grande is jumping to Ariana Grande's defense over some viral cannibalism claims on TikTok -- all cooked up to scare fans away from buying her concert tickets.

Ariana's big bro took to X Thursday to fire at fans spreading rumors that cops found human remains in his sister's starter house years ago ... cackling over the crazy claims.

If you haven't seen the original TikTok, check it out ... it's a social media user making the claims without providing any sort of evidence to back up the point -- but, some people took it as fact and started pushing the rumor anyway.

Britney Spears and Paul Soliz called it quits on their relationship almost a month ago, after she came to the realization he was riding her coattails ... and now she's got a new roomie.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Britney and Paul split around 3 weeks ago, and they were dunzo once the singer realized her former maintenance worker-turned-boyfriend was only using her for the luxurious lifestyle.

The reasoning here certainly jibes with what Britney alluded to in her recent Instagram post putting Paul on blast and declaring herself "single as f***."

Taylor Swift's all loved up with Travis Kelce ... but she hit rewind to her Joe Jonas days, performing "Last Kiss" on her latest "Eras" tour stop.

The singer surprised fans in Zürich, Switzerland as she played the breakup anthem inspired by that brief relationship -- from her album "Speak Now" -- on piano Tuesday night ... and mashed it up with "Sad Beautiful Tragic."

Taylor parted ways with Joe back in 2008 ... so it's highly unlikely he was on her mind all these years later. A better reason for her to play it is the fact the song's lyrics mention Tuesday's date, July 9th.

Katy Perry's shared a teaser video for her upcoming pop anthem, "Woman's World" -- getting super racy ... all in the name of female empowerment, of course.

Check it out -- the singer gave feminist icon Rosie the Riveter a sexy twist with that classic red headband, but instead of her famous overalls, she was in a bedazzled barely-there American flag bikini top.

From the lyrics, Katy's all about celebrating women's achievements and feeling lucky to live in a "Woman's World" as per the title -- but as for the video ... it's nothing but pure sexiness on display.

Jennie from the popular K-pop group BLACKPINK is owning up to rippin' clouds indoors ... apologizing for smoking a vape after a video made rounds on social media.

The brief clip was posted to Jennie's personal vlog last week ... showing her sitting in a chair as she got her makeup and hair done prior to last month's Jacquemus fashion show in Italy.

At one point in the prep, Jennie is spotted putting a device up to her lips ... and moments later, she blows vapor out of her mouth with the crew standing nearby.

Joe Bonsall, the longtime tenor for the iconic country/gospel group The Oak Ridge Boys, is dead.

Joe died Tuesday as a result of complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) ... according to a statement from his band.

He had been battling ALS -- also known as Lou Gehrig's disease -- for more than 4 years ... and in January he announced he was dropping out of the group's farewell tour.

Kyle Richards can't wrap her head around people needing to comment on women's bodies in this day and age -- this in response to body-shamers attacking her pal Kesha.

We caught up with the 'RHOBH' star at LAX Monday following her Aspen trip with the singer -- and she tells us she's baffled by the mean comments about Kesha's appearance ... 'cause as far as she's concerned, she's gorgeous -- and even more beautiful on the inside.

As for whether Kesha's letting the trolling get to her, Kyle points us to the singer's IG message ... where the "Timber" hitmaker said those mean comments only made her stronger.

Neverland Ranch is under serious threat from a huge SoCal wildfire, but Michael Jackson fans should not worry ... 'cause fire crews and heavy-duty equipment are already there to keep the iconic property safe.

As TMZ previously reported ... the gigantic Lake Fire in Santa Barbara is burning toward MJ's infamous ranch, fueled by the dry land conditions and sweltering heatwave and now mass evacuations are underway.

Capt. Scott Safechuck, spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, tells TMZ the blaze is a big-time threat to Neverland ... which is why dozens of firefighters are already there -- including multiple fire trucks and bulldozers. Fire aircraft is also in the area, ready to respond!

Bebe Rexha is putting fans at her shows on notice -- when it comes to people throwing stuff at her onstage, there's a new sheriff in town, and it's Bebe herself!

Check out the clip, Bebe didn't hold back this weekend in Norway, telling the perpetrator ... “If you hit me with something onstage, I’ll take you for everything you’ve f***ing got. Do not f***ing play with me right now!"

The crowd cheers Bebe on in support ... and she can be seen coordinating with security to pinpoint the object thrower. When she finally spots him, she tells him to "get the f*** out."

Billie Eilish lit up the internet with her recent post ... posting a pic of herself holding a lit firework -- with just a bikini and towel covering her up!

The singer-songwriter posted the photo Saturday as part of a longer photo series showing her and her friends celebrating America's Independence Day ... or, at least so it would seem from all the fireworks the group had.

Other snaps show the Grammy winner getting ready in the mirror and snuggling with another person on the floor. There's also a clip showing one of her friends holding a firework similar to hers ... so, clearly plenty to go around.

Drake's White Party appearance could've gotten real awkward given his beef with Kendrick Lamar ... but, we're told the DJs played it safe -- staying far from K. Dot's discography.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... everyone who hopped up to the turntables at Michael Rubin's famous Hamptons soirée passed on playing anything by Kendrick.

And the DJs weren't the only Drake-friendly folks in attendance BTW ... 'cause we're told Lil Wayne, Travis Scott and Quavo also pulled up to the event -- and, they're all on good terms with Drizzy.

Travis Kelce got downright emotional Saturday night at Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour in Amsterdam, as TS rolled out a song she hasn't sung much lately ... but seems to reflect on their relationship.

Taylor Performed "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)," which contains the lyrics ... "I'll be 87; you'll be 89, I'll still look at you like the stars that shine, In the sky, oh my my my."

Travis got emotional, appearing to tear up and wipe his face.

Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was threatened with foreclosure, but his Estate was able to step in and save it. The Estate now has a more formidable job against Mother Nature.

A seemingly unstoppable blaze is becoming perilously close to MJ's famous/notorious ranch in Santa Barbara County. It's called the Lake Fire, and it's caused a mad scramble with evacuations in its path.

The blaze has spread to more than 12,000 acres in areas thick with brush ... which in the heat of SoCal makes it more than problematic.

Justin Bieber put on one heck of a show at his most recent concert ... no, he's not touring again -- he performed at a ceremony for a billionaire's wedding.

The singer-songwriter arrived in Mumbai yesterday for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's sangeet, a pre-wedding ceremony filled with singing and music ... and, instead of DJ, the couple brought the Biebs!

Check out the clip ... JB hits the floor, dancing by himself before pulling a girl up and having her twirl a couple times in front of the crowd.

Madonna is counting her blessings, just one year after being discharged from the hospital after nearly losing her life.

Madge took to Instagram to reflect on her past year, saying "A year ago today, I had just come home from the hospital after surviving a life threatening illness, I could barely stand in my backyard holding one sparkler."

She continued, "I made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you God. Life is beautiful! ♥️🧨🔥"

Taylor Swift has debuted a new look in her ever-evolving 'Eras' tour ... but Swifties seem torn over the outfit's significance.

The singer hit the stage at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands Thursday evening, and appeared to debut a new outfit for her '1989' era.

Check it out ... Swifties couldn't get enough of Taylor as she performed her hit, "Style," in a sparkling blue crop top and red-orange skirt. Many fans were quick to point out that this is a combo she's yet to wear ... as she's recently switched up the looks for this particular segment of her record-breaking tour.
