If Ariana Madix is bummed about being axed from “Vanderpump Rules" ... it sure didn't show as she slayed Thursday morning during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Ariana entertained the massive crowd with The Cardigans' classic “Lovefool” ... in front of the iconic Macy’s Herald Square location in New York City.

The show-stopping performance from the Broadway and reality star happened on the heels of Bravo announcing it was axing the entire cast of 'VPR' for Season 12 ... and replacing them with a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers.”

"Vanderpump Rules" is going to have a clean sweep of it's cast for Season 12, but not if you pick up what Peter Madrigal is puttin' down.

We got Peter outside SUR restaurant in WeHo Friday night, and he addressed a story TMZ broke a few days back ... that there will be an entirely new cast for the next season. Peter seems to think there's an outlier -- or maybe more accurately an inlier -- someone who's gonna stick around, and he repeatedly insinuates it's him!

As you know, the ratings have been sagging, but the show did have a resurgence after the whole cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss. The show got super popular after that, but it's time for some fresh faces and bodies that will actually work at Sur.

As the debate rages on whether it is rude to sing aloud in the theater during "Wicked" showings ... one of the stars is telling fans to belt that s***!

Cynthia Erivo was a guest Thursday during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ... where she was asked by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager about the debate topic.

Cynthia -- who plays Elphaba -- said fans should sing their hearts out in showing if they are feeling it ... after all, the cast did!

New York City Police made several arrests Thursday morning as a group of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, TMZ confirmed.

Police tell us ... several people have been arrested, but an exact number is unclear as the disturbance just happened. For the moment ... it appears to have been cleared.

The protesters did not make the televised program on NBC ... but social media was flooded with snaps and video of them making their attempt ... and the quick response from NYPD.

A famous dog has passed ... a dog famous for her owner and famous in her own right.

Birdie was a Golden Retriever owned by Jennifer Garner, who announced the pooch has passed. Jen says, “It is hard to know how to write this— it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing.”

Birdie stopped eating last week -- a clear sign something was wrong because J.G. described the dog as a foodie -- and the fam became alarmed and took her to the vet, who delivered some horrible news -- Birdie was at the end of her life.

Taylor Swift got an apology from Billboard for the way it honored her ... sounds weird, right?

As we reported, T.S. was named second Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard. Thing is ... Billboard included a video celebrating her career, and in that vid there's a shot of Taylor in the nude -- quick clarification ... it's not Taylor, it's a wax figure courtesy of her nemesis.

You may remember back in 2016, Kanye did a whole thing for his "Famous" video ... with celebrity wax figures in the nude, including Taylor. People were pissed off back then -- especially the celebs he featured -- so it seemed that video was destined for deep archives.

A woman in Australia got the shock of her life when her garage door opened and she was nearly attacked by a massive python, new surveillance video shows.

Check out the footage from Storyful ... the lady strolls up to her garage outside her home in Queensland as the automatic door raises — and everything seems just fine at first.

But then ... the gigantic snake drops down while attached to the ceiling inside the garage.

Some of Hollywood's fallen stars won't be chowing down on lavish meals tomorrow ... 'cause even though they're getting turkey and other Thanksgiving staples behind bars, it ain't gonna be what they're used to.

TMZ's done our yearly check ... and, we know the Thanksgiving menus in prison for inmates like Tekashi 6ix9ine, Suge Knight, Danny Masterson and Tory Lanez, among others.

Here's what everyone's gobblin' down:

Kanye West is dropping a "Bomb" ... releasing the video for his song with daughters North West and Chicago West ... and it's pretty creative.

Ye dropped the video Wednesday on YouTube and it mainly centers around North and Chicago ... driving futuristic vehicles in a race through the desert with some gremlin-like creatures.

The song is off Kanye's "Vultures 2" album and North mostly raps her verse in Japanese. She looks all grown up and is wearing a fur hoodie as she tools through some barren terrain.

Netflix is serving up some hot holiday heat with "Hot Frosty" and "The Merry Gentlemen" ... and a top sex doc says these films are a total game-changer 'cause it's just what women need to jingle their bells this season.

Here's the holly jolly ... 2 holiday Netflix films that are all horned up with hunks -- something Hallmark couldn't get away with -- have taken the streamer by storm and gone viral this season.

Sex expert Dr. Laura Berman tells TMZ ... Netflix is killing it with these flicks during the crazy holiday season when libidos tend to take a nosedive -- with women releasing their pent-up frustration with the Hallmark-style sweetness ... but with hot men getting objectified (for once!).

Laura says these steamy holiday flicks are perfect timing -- single women are looking for a stress reliever and longing for someone ... while even women in a relationship need a break from the holiday madness.

She adds it’s clear there’s women at Netflix behind these films who get that women love porn with a plot, and we can totally expect a lot more hot guy holiday content in the future.

But, don’t get too excited, 'cause Laura says we’re still a long way from a full-on Hallmark-style porno!

Tom Brady's had plenty of detractors since his debut in the broadcast booth earlier this year, but Rich Eisen clearly ain't one of them ... he tells TMZ Sports he finds the former QB's mic chops amazing.

The famed sportscaster -- who's worked play-by-play at a few NFL games this season -- gushed over TB12's first foray into color commentating ... saying out at LAX this month Brady is "one-of-one."

Eisen loves the fact that the future Hall of Famer can speak on just about every single issue that crops up in a game -- including injuries, winning, losing and playing into his 40s.

Before this sweet little girl in her white dress turned into an American actress, she was just growing up in Boston, Massachusetts, chowin' down on some tasty grub and thriving in her 8th-grade drama class!

She started in the entertainment biz as a stand-up comedian -- performing a set on Comedy Central's "Up Next" -- which led her to the series "Ayo and Rachel Are Single." She's teamed up with friends and costars Molly Gordon and Ben Platt on several projects.

You may best recognize this shining star as a chef on "The Bear".

Turkey Day is all about food and football ... and while we can't help with the former, TMZ Sports has got ya covered with the latter -- presenting the wives and girlfriends of all the NFL teams playing on Thanksgiving!!

The first matchup on Thanksgiving is the Bears and Lions ... and despite the game being in Detroit, we're sure Jonathan Owens' wife, Olympic legend Simone Biles, will be supporting her man throughout the action.

The same goes for DJ Moore's lady, Rae, and Keenan Allen's wife, CiMo ... who are always cheering on Da Bears each week.

The turkeys have been bought and the relatives are heading into town, which means there is only one thing left to do ... watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The annual holiday celebration is set to take place in New York City this Thursday, Nov. 28 ... marking 100 years since the parade first kicked off.

It has easily become most families' favorite Turkey Day tradition -- outside football, of course -- as the parade boasts a number of memorable balloons, wild floats, and A-list performances.

Jennifer Lopez has one menu item covered as she heads to Friendsgiving ... no need to worry about the buns, because her famous behind is looking as good as ever.

J Lo showed off her amazing figure Wednesday in Los Angeles, going out to eat with a friend the day before Thanksgiving.

Jenny From The Block kept things tastefully sexy on her big outing ... unbuttoning her shirt just enough to show off her breasts ... but all eyes are on her butt here.
