Kendrick Lamar's escalating his rap beef with Drake ... labeling him as a "pedophile" in another new diss track less than 24 hours after releasing "Meet The Grahams."

The 17-time Grammy winner released the new song -- titled "Not Like Us" -- about an hour ago ... and, in it, Kendrick finds a series of different ways to refer to Drake as a pedophile before just calling him one.

To start with, the cover art shows Drake's home with sex offender beacons all over it ... the implication's clear enough from the beginning before KL really digs in against the man he's beefing with.

Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Darius Morris died this week, TMZ Sports has confirmed. He was just 33 years old.

"With great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly beloved son, Darius Aaron Morris," the former NBA player's family said in a statement to us on Saturday morning. "During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace."

Details surrounding his passing have not been revealed at this time ... although we can confirm his body was discovered on Thursday in the Los Angeles area.

Travis Kelce's officially at the Kentucky Derby ... arriving in a suit fit for a classic movie gangster -- but, he's without his very special someone.

The Chiefs tight end embodied every little bit of his nickname at the race Saturday ... cutting up the fashion game as only Killa Trav can. Just check out the pics flooding in from the KD -- a spectacular white suit and fedora Don Corleone could appreciate.

Despite his killa looks, Trav showed off his 'fit alone ... no Taylor Swift in sight -- and, we can only speculate as to the reasons why.

Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead's all grown up ... rocking an outfit previously worn by Janet Jackson and attending Kentucky Derby events with her dad, Larry.

The 17-year-old appeared in Larry's recent Instagram post ... smiling in a couple cute father-daughter pics on the way to the Barnstable-Brown Gala -- a star-studded lead-up to Saturday's big race.

Check out the pic ... Dannielynn's in a full black get-up here, covered in zippers Larry said he bought from Julien's -- a popular auction house.

Jeff Beacher and Kelly Osbourne are officially bringing "Beacher's Madhouse" back ... telling a photog the variety show's returning -- but, only for a limited time.

The duo was out of Craig's in West Hollywood, along with Kelly's baby daddy Sid Wilson and their son Sidney ... and they confirmed the good news the uber-popular "high end circus" -- as it's been called -- is coming back to L.A. after almost a decade.

Unfortunately for longtime fans, the show's not coming back to H'Wood for good ... instead, Jeff and Kelly -- who now serves as creative director -- say it's coming back for just 3 nights only as part of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival.

Amy Schumer knows how to perk up a room ... playing a prank at Jimmy Buffett’s memorial to ease the melancholy in the room -- all by pulling her top down!

The actress/comedian was honored at the Variety Power of Women event in NYC where Sascha Seinfeld -- the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld and a writer on AS’ show “Life & Beth” -- introduced her by telling the NSFW story, Page Six reports.

The way Seinfeld tells it ... Amy attended a memorial dinner for the late great singer -- who passed away last September. Jimmy's widow Jane Buffett came in the room and Amy went to greet her, after making one small change to her outfit.

Rick Ross is using social media gossip to clown his rival Drake ... joking Drizzy shot his plane down as rumors his plane made a crash landing swirl.

The rapper took to his Instagram Story Friday to crack some jokes about his plane allegedly making an emergency landing ... thanking his fans for prayers before launching into his over-the-top story.

RR claims he saw a fighter jet barreling toward his own aircraft ... saying he sees an unnamed pilot's nose like Tom Cruise from "Top Gun" -- before adding "it happened" without specifying what that is.

Edgar Lansbury, a Tony-winning producer and brother of late TV & Film star Angela Lansbury has died ... according to a post from one of his former stars.

Peggy Gordon -- who appeared in the original off-Broadway cast for the show "Godspell" -- shared the news on Facebook earlier this week. She didn't provide a cause of death but said his memorial would take place in the fall.

Edgar, born in London in 1930, first rose to prominence on the Broadway scene in the early 1960s ... when his show "The Subject Was Roses" starring Martin Sheen won him the Tony Award for Best Play.

Usher said the show must go on ... pulling up to perform a show in Vegas despite the Lovers & Friends festival's last-minute cancelation -- and raising fans' spirits.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the popstar taking the stage at Jewel Nightclub Aria Hotel and Casino Friday night ... and, belting out some tunes with the audience after news of the festival's cancelation came in.

Check out the clip ... Usher arrives in an all-white get-up, drink glass in hand -- and, he immediately gets the crowd involved, making them sing the opening notes to a track and hyping up the whole joint.

Kendrick Lamar has the streets buzzing about Drake's other child -- a daughter he's allegedly kept hidden for more than a decade, but folks around Drake say Kendrick's pushing misinformation.

If you missed it, Kendrick and Drake's rap war intensified late Friday night as they both dropped new 6-minute-plus diss tracks -- "Family Matters" from Drake and "Meet the Grahams" from Kendrick.

Both rappers got seriously personal with vicious verses targeting each other's family members ... and K. Dot insinuating Drake has a daughter somewhere who he's kept hidden from the world.

Pauly Shore's moving full-steam ahead with his Richard Simmons biopic ... reportedly telling an L.A. crowd he's going forward with or without Simmons' blessing.

The actor-comedian hopped onstage for his Netflix Is A Joke show Friday night in Los Angeles when he addressed the controversial film project ... and, it sounds like Pauly's out on potentially getting Richard onboard.

Variety reports Shore said, “I’m also gonna be starring in the Richard Simmons biopic … whether he likes it or not, Richard. Just another f***ing bump in my f***ing road.”

Taylor Swift might have to get back to work, but her BF Travis Kelce is still in vacay mode, and his personal party train's pulled into Louisville for the Kentucky Derby.

The NFL's newly minted highest-paid tight end was in KY Friday night chilling for The Chainsmokers gig at the Sports Illustrated Revel and the Races ... part of the festivities leading up to Saturday afternoon's Derby.

Trav looked to be in a backstage area, goofing around with a guy who's believed to be former Houston Rocket Chandler Parsons. Some outlets think he's posing with Alex Pall -- one-half of The Chainsmokers, who posted the snap ... but we're leaning more toward it being Chandler.

He and Chandler are pretty tight ... you might recall they were golfing together back in March, when CP tried to get in Trav's head with a Swift move, playing Taylor's music.

Speaking of whom ... all eyes are on Travis this weekend, as fans are wondering if Taylor's going to show up at Churchill Downs for the Derby. Clearly, her man will be there, but she's getting back on the road next week with 'Eras' tour shows in Paris.

So, it's unclear if she's already in Europe prepping for that ... or if she'll squeeze in one more event with Trav before jetting off to France.

Not that TK can't handle the partying on his own! He and The Chainsmokers have history ... as the duo performed at one of the Chiefs' post-Super Bowl celebrations in Las Vegas back in February.

He and Patrick Mahomes seemed right at home on stage as the duo was spinning ... and the Chiefs stars showed off the Lombardi Trophy.

Even Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne's combined star power isn't enough to outshine Mother Nature -- who just forced Lovers & Friends Festival organizers to pull the plug ... at the last minute!

The shocking announcement came late Friday night, less than 24 hours before the all-day, outdoor festival was supposed to begin at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Event organizers said they were expecting a windy day and prepared for it, but then the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning.

With the expectation of 30-35 mph sustained winds and wind gusts over 60 mph ... they decided to cancel the highly-anticipated concert, calling it the "safest decision for our fans, artists and staff."

Bill Maher's taking aim at America's top cop, Attorney General Merrick Garland ... questioning why Democrats even gave him the job, and calling him out for screwing up federal prosecution of Donald Trump.

Maher's dismantling of the AG went down on Friday night's episode of his show, 'Real Time' ... and while he had plenty of disdain for Trump and his hush money trial in NYC, the comedian unloaded most of his ire on Garland for moving at a glacial pace to even indict Trump.

Remember, Trump's current trial is in NY state court for allegedly falsifying business records related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels -- and Maher makes it clear, in pretty hilarious fashion, why Trump should be found guilty. Gotta tip our hat on the El Chapo drug mule joke. 😂

Caitlin Clark is already delivering for the WNBA -- she put on a killer performance in her first preseason game, scoring basket after basket ... in front of a packed arena.

The basketball phenom was the center of attention Friday night as she and her Indiana Fever teammates battled the Dallas Wings to a sold-out crowd at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

Clark racked up 16 points in just the first half, topping all the other players. She cooled off in the 2nd half, finishing with 21 points ... but, remember, it was just a preseason game, so players and coaches aren't exactly going all out.

6:36 AM PT -- Looks like Craig David's gonna have to wait even longer to get back on stage -- 'cause Lovers & Friends pulled the plug on its big festival less than 24 hours before doors opened.

Craig David's gone from getting it seven days a week to abstinence 365 days a year ... opening up about celibacy on "The TMZ Podcast" -- saying he's now on top of his game creatively.

Craig -- famous for writing the intimate anthem "7 Days" -- says he still is celibate ... adding he decided to do it because he wanted to "park" sex in favor of spirituality.
