Diddy is coming out swinging against former artist Shyne's continuous media campaign that he was scapegoated in their 1999 shooting trial!!!

Shyne's recent supercharged run of interviews featured him as "a sacrificial lamb" in a "demonic" plot ... but Diddy's legal team is slamming those claims once and for all.

A rep for Diddy tells TMZ Hip Hop ...  "Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to 'take the fall' or 'sacrificed' him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false."

“I’m so mad I did that s***," SZA said. "I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid."

Brooks Nader’s taking some big steps -- she’s in the process of getting rid of that matching tattoo she got with "Dancing with the Stars" partner Gleb Savchenko after their brief fling.

We caught up with Brooks ... and she cleared things up, saying that pic of her kissing Gleb backstage, and their hot chemistry, doesn't mean they were officially dating. At the end of the day, they were just colleagues, and the tattoo was merely a lapse in her judgment.

Check out the clip ... 'cause you can totally feel Brooks' discomfort as she tried to convince us they were never really an official thing.

Kim Kardashian is a jack of all trades ... she's modeling a new offering from her SKIMS brand, starring in an ad campaign for a collab with Dolce & Gabbana ... with an assist from her sister.

The sisters are getting wild in the photo shoot with matching leopard-print catsuits ... and they also model some leopard-print bras, tops and leggings. Rawr!!!

Jax Taylor is hitting back at estranged wife Brittany Cartwright's assertion he hasn't changed ... accusing "The Valley" star of being a hypocrite, since she allegedly still asks him to "hook up."

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum stopped by Bravo's "Hot Mic Podcast" Thursday, where he addressed Brittany's scathing assessment of his time in treatment -- and how their relationship has continued to crumble after the fact.

Jax says his ex is not being entirely honest about their dynamic, claiming she often asks him over for dinner or drinks after trashing him in the press.

Mike Tyson's proving age ain't nothin' but a number ... 'cause the boxing legend popped the hood at weigh-ins Thursday morning, and Iron Mike's living up to his moniker!

He's ripped and rarin' to go.

58-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul both stepped on the scale Thursday morning in Dallas -- about 36 hours before they'll try and take each other's heads off in the ring -- a fight Mike told us would be the "biggest in the history of life."

Travis Kelce got out of the house on Wednesday to hit up a concert ... but it was NOT a date night for the NFL star -- TMZ Sports has learned Taylor Swift stayed behind.

The Chiefs tight end made his way over to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City to catch Jelly Roll belt out some tunes to a packed arena ... but we're told Swift was not among those in attendance.

Unclear where she was -- but with an "Eras" tour show slated to go down at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Thursday night ... it's safe to assume work took priority.

JoJo Siwa is ready to face the world again after a controversial fall ... stepping out in Los Angeles for the first time in over a month for a few caffeine-fueled errands.

Seemingly shaking off the backlash, JoJo hits up a local coffee shop in L.A., where she gets a little work done on her computer -- even making time for a sweet selfie with a fan.

JoJo seems pretty energized to get back out in the public eye ... and the massive coffee in her hand may have something to do with the pep in her step.

Kyle Richards says Teddi Mellencamp's divorce might not have been caused by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... but the spotlight certainly doesn't help the situation.

We caught up with the reality television star in Los Angeles Wednesday ... and, we had to ask her about her costar Teddi filing for divorce from her husband of more than 13 years, Edwin Arroyave.

While Kyle says the pressures of the show itself didn't cause the split, public scrutiny isn't helpful to maintaining a relationship ... something she knows all too well.

Shyne hit the NYC pavement hard this week, reminding everyone Diddy ruined his life following the infamous 1999 club shooting -- the actions of a "demonic" man!!!

The former Bad Boy Records star sat for "Good Morning America," and the current Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives said he wasn't surprised about Diddy's current incarceration.

Shyne says Diddy evilly left him to rot in prison, serving nearly 9 years ... he could've done 25!!!!

Cynthia Erivo is a Grammy award-winning singer, but she still gets nervous when she has to show off her pipes ... admitting as much on camera.

We got the "Wicked" star Wednesday at ABC Studios in New York City and our photog asked her about her live, impromptu duet with costar Ariana Grande on "TODAY" ... when they sang Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" for Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie.

Cynthia says she still gets nervous every time she sings ... and it was no different live on air.

The trailer for "Back in Action" -- a totally fitting name for both of them -- is packed with adrenaline, showing Cameron coming out of her 11-year acting retirement swinging and kicking some serious butt alongside Foxx.

The movie centers on their characters, Emily and Matt, getting pulled back into the espionage world when their cover’s blown, years after they left their CIA spy lives behind to start a family.

Katy Perry's enjoying the local cuisine in Mexico ... enjoying a taco fiesta with a big group of friends, gulping down the delicious dish.

A New York Knicks fan infiltrated a family-friendly event with some adult humor on Wednesday ... making use of his time on the kiss cam by doing something a bit, uh, different than locking lips with his significant other.

The surprising moment happened during a break in the action at the home team's matchup with the Chicago Bulls ... when the Madison Square Garden cameras focused on an apparent couple enjoying their date night.

The woman was seemingly ready to give her man a smooch ... but the dude had other plans. As she leaned in for a peck, he grabbed her head and pushed it down toward his lap -- and it doesn't take a genius to figure out the message he was trying to convey.

Kim Kardashian’s getting real about raising her brood post-divorce from Kanye -- hinting that he's basically MIA in her life, and it’s her holding it down solo with the kiddos.

On the "What In The Winkler?!" podcast, Kim told host Zoe Winkler that even though she has a solid support system, she’s "basically raising four kids by myself" -- which she admitted is overwhelming, especially since she struggles silently, worried about being judged.

Kim shared that even the little things can feel like a lot -- like when all the kids pile into her bed, kicking her, crying, and waking up in the middle of the night.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are feeling "Popular" ahead of the release of "Wicked" ... admitting they've cried through a number of press interviews for the musical movie.

Cynthia said a few journalists have wept with them while discussing the highly anticipated movie, sharing they've broken out in tears over all the love. The internet has certainly had a field day over the pair's tearful reactions, too ... roasting both Cynthia and Ari in a number of posts on X.
