Louis Tomlinson tossed bro code out the window by hitting the town with his old One Direction mate Zayn Malik's ex fiancee.

Louis and Perrie Edwards were spotted Wednesday night taking a car together after the Brit Awards. Perrie and Zayn broke things off in August -- about 5 months after he left the group.

Last night could've just been a convenient carpool sitch though, since Louis has been tight with actress Danielle Campbell lately.

Besides, even Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono see each other from time to time.

Look it up, 1Ders. It's relevant.

"Straight Outta Compton" got big props on Wednesday night, winning big at the All Def Movie Awards, but the biggest winner was Ice Cube.

The ceremony was held in Hollywood, clearly a response to the lily white, upcoming Oscars. 'Compton' won Best Picture. Most Quoted Movie went to "Friday" (Ice Cube got the award), and Best Black Survivor in a Movie went to Ice Cube for "Anaconda."

Michael B. Jordan won best actor for "Creed," Will Smith got the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Norman Lear snagged the Vanguard Award.

Our favorite ... the "Most Likely to Steal Your Girl Award' went to Amber Rose.

Tyrese told our photog it's not really the "black" Oscars ... it's for everyone.

Adele's got Kesha's back ... and she just used a huge public platform to let the world know it.

Adele was accepting an award for Best Female Solo Artist at The Brit Awards -- which are going down Wednesday night in London. She went through the usual thank yous ... shouting out her management and record label for embracing the fact she's a woman.

And then Adele brought up Kesha's legal battle with Dr. Luke. It was a remarkable endorsement from the most popular artist in the world -- especially coming one day after the videotaped deposition ... where Kesha said Luke did NOT rape or drug her.

Mike Tyson thinks Leonardo DiCaprio's famed Oscar drought should come to an end this year ... saying that Leo's killed it in "The Revenant" and deserves to take home a gold trophy.

Coldplay got a lesson in old school rock 'n' roll in the middle of an award show when a singer went berserk and destroyed the band's dinner table.

Bring Me the Horizon lead singer Oli Sykes was either being supremely douchey or pulling off a brilliant PR stunt at Wednesday night's NME awards in London -- but during their performance Skyes jumped on Chris Martin and co.'s table and just trashed it.

Skyes claims it was "in no way in protest to Coldplay," but BMTH has publicly bitched that Coldplay's new album art copied their "Sempiternal" album.

Skyes chalked it up to sound problems -- and Martin took the chaos in stride, saying he'd never heard of the band but thought it "was great, very rock n roll."

Bottom line: More entertaining than Coldplay's Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna was screaming and hysterical before she bailed on the Grammys, but there are conflicting stories about what triggered her outburst.

Sources connected with the show and several sources who were not connected but present at the show tell TMZ ... the singer was loudly expressing displeasure over her rehearsal. They say she was loud and upset and, as we first reported, bailed on the event.

Rihanna's people say she had a medical issue ... bronchitis that was so bad she could not perform and that's why she left. Sources close to RiRi tell us she was too upset to stay and watch the show.

It's interesting ... Rihanna sang flawlessly two nights before the Grammys at a Lionel Richie charity event. Several sources say her voice was also great at the Grammys rehearsal.

Don Cheadle may have thought Kendrick Lamar was robbed at the Grammys, but he never would have jumped onstage Kanye style to jack Taylor Swift's moment ... because that would be classless.

Our photog got Don at LAX Tuesday and it seems the actor wants to move on from his Grammys tweet. Don thinks Taylor's just fine, but Kendrick was really the man of 2016.

His comment about attending the Oscars is interesting.

Von Miller's crazy spotlight stealing Grammy jacket was a rush job -- put together with just 2 days notice -- with the designer flying in special material from across the country!

We spoke with Von's personal stylist Chandra Ferrer of Elevee Clothing who tells us ... Von made a last-minute decision to attend the show -- and gave her a heads up on Thursday.

Ferrer says she wanted Miller to make a statement on the red carpet -- and needed to go big -- so she mocked up the idea for the jacket and ran it by Von ... who LOVED it!

Ferrer says she custom ordered a special French fabric called "French Metallic Opalescent Cloque" from NYC and had it rushed over Thursday night.

We're told there are NO sequins or bedazzling -- the shimmer is from the special fabric.

Ferrer says she added a special Super Bowl MVP patch inside as a special touch.

In the end, the jacket was a hit -- and cost more than $1,300 to make -- but you can't put a price on swag (especially when you're expected to sign a HUGE contract in the very near future)!

Beyonce and Bruno Mars are in the Psychic Friends Network ... or Bruno accidentally created a huge conspiracy with the final Grammy win of the night.

Verrrrry interesting if you missed it -- Bey was onstage to present Record of the Year, but before she even announced the winner ... Bruno shouted, "Let's do it Beyonce!"

And what do ya know -- 1 second later she announced Bruno and Mark Ronson were the winners for "Uptown Funk."

Conspiracy theorists are buzzing: Was Bruno tipped off? Just coincidence that he and Beyonce performed together last week at the Super Bowl ... which, like the Grammys, aired on CBS?

Or did Bruno just get lucky? Imagine how embarrassing if he'd lost.

5:15 PM PT -- A rep for Argyle says Paul was not denied at the door, but instead there was a mix up. The rep claims Paul was trying to go to Mark Ronson's Republic Records party (which was at Hyde Lounge) ... and once Paul figured that out he left.

We're told Sir Paul and co. were trying to enter through a side door, but the club absolutely would have let them in if they wanted access.

This is one for the ages ... Paul McCartney turned away at a Grammy after-party ... not once, BUT TWICE.

Paul, Beck, and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins went to Argyle in Hollywood Monday night to hobnob at the bash hosted by Tyga.

Security was not impressed and told them they were not welcome. You hear Paul say, "How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit."

After a second failed attempt, the trio bails and they make their way to Hyde for the Republic Records party. They had better luck there.

Check out Tyga and Bow Wow as they left ... and learned the most famous man in music was not allowed to party with them.

Paul McCartney, Beck and Taylor Hawkins were greeted warmly at Hyde Sunset after the Grammys, along with a slew of other stars including Taylor Swift.

Lorde, Calvin Harris, The Weeknd, Bella Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio, Jeremy Renner, Kaley Cuoco, Miranda Kerr, Joe Jonas and Cody Simpson were just some of the stars who showed for the Republic Records shindig.

A lot of them hung out in the VIP section, but Sir Paul insisted on partying with the general population.

Taylor Swift wiped a tear away after apparently blowing a note in the Grammys show opener, "Out of the Woods."

Once seated the cameras caught Taylor complaining to Selena Gomez, "I missed that note."

She changed gears later in the show when she clearly dissed Kanye West, whose lyric "I made that bitch famous" pissed her off. She told the crowd "People will take credit for your success ... Don't let them knock you down."

Adele's Grammy performance Monday night should have been the highlight of the show ... but the sound engineer had different ideas.

The singer took the stage towards the end of the night to perform "All I Ask," but her mic cut out early in the song and the audio took a little bit before finally recovering.

You had one job, sound guy ...

BTW -- the whole song seemed a little ... off.

6:16 PM PT -- A rep for Rihanna tells TMZ the singer took antibiotics for three days leading up to the show, but they didn't work. Rihanna was then examined by a doctor at her rehearsal Monday, who decided to put her on vocal rest for 48 hours because the singer was at risk of damaging her vocal cords.

Rihanna has just cancelled her Grammy performance ... TMZ has learned.

The singer arrived at the Staples Center but did not walk the red carpet. She went to rehearsals and left.

Sources connected to the production tell us, Rihanna has been struggling with bronchitis and is on meds. We're told a doctor on site recommended that she pull the plug on the performance because it could permanently damage her vocal cords.

Our sources say Rihanna wanted to perform but reluctantly decided she had to listen to her doctors. She left Staples and is going home.

She was going to sing "Kiss It Better." She even rehearsed twice but in the end the show just could not go on.

Blake Shelton was in form as rare as the steak he ate at Mastro's in Bev Hills Saturday, joking that he'd like to sit next to Luke Bryan at the Grammys, but poor Luke is never in the running.

Blake's joking about his pal, who's top of the heap in country for sure, but there's truth in what he says.

Thank God for Abby Lee Miller ... said Abby Lee Miller when discussing the fame and success of some of her "Dance Moms" students.

No doubt Abby's got some bragging rights ... we were at her Santa Monica studio when some of her girls, including Maddie Ziegler, were going through a hip-hop routine.

Maddie just won the Seriously Popular trophy at the People's Choice Awards, so you'll excuse Abby for crowing about how she raised her girls. As she put it, "Lord knows, if it would've been up to their mothers."

Okay, maybe you won't excuse her.
