The singer spilled her thoughts while digging into spicy wings on "Hot Ones" ... she says she’s been obsessively trying to uncover how her tunes get out before she releases them ... 'cause it's been crushing not being able to drop music on her own terms.

On the flip side, Ariana tried to spin it positively ... likening the leaks to a weird kind of gratitude for fans wanting her music so badly they’re going to extremes to get it.

What started out as a fun day in the sun quickly turned disastrous ... as 2 minutes after ordering water at the bar, the women found themselves feeling incapacitated.

Selena Gomez has fans thinking she's engaged to be married -- whether or not that's true -- but she's got no one to blame but herself for lighting the rumor mill on fire.

The singer dropped an IG pic Thursday that seems innocent enough -- a mirror selfie in a gorgeous white dress. But, hold up -- peep those pink heart emojis right where her engagement ring would be. Curious, huh?

Of course, this isn’t a solid confirmation she and Benny Blanco are tying the knot -- but fans are wondering if she put that emoji there on purpose, or if it was just a happy accident.

Streaming superstar Kai Cenat is pissed he's getting calls from the Secret Service, because Kamala Harris' campaign wants to collaborate with him ... but we're told this is far from the truth.

Kai went live with an angry rant about politics and the Secret Service nosing into his world -- but no one from the Harris for President campaign has been in touch with Kai or his team ... a source with knowledge of the situation tells TMZ.

Blake Lively is living the no-bra life across the pond ... showing some serious side boob under her unbuttoned suit jacket.

The actress was oh so close to freeing the nipple Thursday in London, where she's promoting her new movie "It Ends With Us."

Blake's looking pretty damn braless under her floral suit, and left her jacket open to let imaginations run wild. Nearly nude ... tastefully done, of course.

"We're doing everything in our power during this tragic time to support the family, to support our community," he said in a press conference minutes ago.

The fire department added it used drones and a dive team to locate the body after an hour.

Faul said CrossFit is working with authorities on the investigation ... and the remainder of the day's events have been canceled -- but the future of this year's Games has not been determined at this time.

Tragedy struck the beginning of the 2024 CrossFit Games on Thursday ... as a drowning was reported during the run-swim event.

According to local reports, Fort Worth Fire Department rushed to Marine Creek Lake after receiving a call for service at approximately 8 AM.

Lauryn Hill is finally breaking her silence on the surprise cancellation of the North American leg of the Fugees reunion tour -- Turns out, it came down to low ticket sales.

As you can tell, Lauryn was seriously pissed off ... explaining her trust and commitment to her art were overshadowed by this frustrating portrayal -- and no one’s more disappointed than she is about not being able to perform.

8:30 AM -- Austrian authorities have released a few more details ... explaining the 15-year-old who was detained claims the 19-year-old asked him to secure an ignition device. Unclear if he did.

We also have further clarification on some of the chemicals found in the 19-year-old's home ... with cops saying they found a barrel of hydrogen peroxide -- used in makeshift explosives. He allegedly downloaded bomb-making instructions ... further evidence this was an amateur attempt.

Authorities say the whole of Europe's on high alert ... with concern ISIS is using Austria as an "operational area."

7:59 AM PT -- More details are emerging about the suspects' alleged actions in the lead up to their arrests ... with CNN reporting the 19-year-old suspect quit his job back in July and changed his appearance -- telling people around him he had something big planned.

Cops allegedly found 21,000 euros of counterfeit cash and a blue police light for his car to get better access to the arena's periphery. CNN says he planned to kill himself during the attack either during a standoff with police or an explosion.

CNN says the 17-year-old suspect broke up with his girlfriend recently -- possibly a trigger that sent him down this path.

Interestingly, CNN reports the 15-year-old who was detained may have just known about the plot ... and may not have played an active part in its planning.

Taylor Swift's foiled terror attack got a lot further down the road than many initially thought ... with one suspect employed by the venue just days before the singer came to town.

A 17-year-old suspect behind the near disaster in Vienna got a job at Ernst Happel Stadium in the days leading up to her shows ... seemingly to better position himself and his accomplice for their alleged terror attack. He was arrested outside the venue.

As we reported, authorities executed a search warrant at the home of one of the suspects and found chemical substances and technical devices, presumably to make a bomb. Although authorities didn't say, it appears that device could have been detonated by the 17-year-old who would have been working inside the venue.

Sun's out, buns out! Kendall Jenner's soaking in every last second of summer, showing off her supermodel assets ... getting her tan on while vacationing -- and, hopefully, she applied sunscreen liberally -- 'cause her thong clearly doesn't provide much protection.

The cheeky model and reality star graced the beach in Ibiza ... hitting the water on all manner of aquatic vehicles -- boat, jet skis, you name it. If it floats, KJ's taking it for a ride.

KJ let close pal Fai Khadra drive during the afternoon fun -- the one time Jenner covered up just a bit, going safety-conscious in her svelte life jacket.

The actress had mixed emotions as she recalled the intimate on-camera moment during her appearance Wednesday on "Watch What Happens Live," where she gleefully shared behind-the-scenes factoids from filming with Tom in the '80s.

As she put it ... TC was a great scene partner and totally took care of her during her first time faking sex on cam, except for one catastrophic moment. Gina warned Tom she was "very ticklish" and told him not to go there when they filmed the scene.

As you know, England was the site of a cataclysmic terror attack back in 2017 at the Manchester Arena, where 22 concertgoers were killed at an Ariana Grande concert after a bomb exploded inside the venue.
