Coachella

The scorching desert couldn't stop these hot celebs from stripping down at showing off their goods on the third day of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival.

Famous faces like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Iggy Azalea, Justin Bieber, Romee Strijd, Aubrey O'Day, Christina Millian, Jen Selter, Ansel Elgort, Kara Del Toro, Casper Smart, Big Boi, Von Miller and TONS more were dancing around the Indio Valley.

Not to the mention performances by Cardi B, The Migos, French Montana, Miguel and headlined by Eminem ensured there was lots to see both on and off the stages.

Coachella is reviving an almost forgotten talent of Leonardo DiCaprio -- being able to mix former and potential current lovers alike in the same backyard ... just ask Rihanna.

Leo was seen hanging out under a cabana at RiRi's FentyxPuma Coachella party Saturday with 20-year-old Argentinian model Camila Morrone clinging to his neck in an affectionate manner. Leo and Camila have been rumored to be an item since at least December.

Rihanna was there, too, obviously ... making quite the entrance in her smokin' hot pink bodysuit. All we can say ... good Lordy ... we see you, girl!

Here's why their mutual company matters -- in case you don't remember, Leo and RiRi used to be a thing, if only for a short time. As we reported ... they were banging back in 2015 after getting hot and heavy at a Playboy Mansion party that January.

Eyewitnesses tell us Rihanna and Leo did, in fact, talk at her shindig -- but it was brief, and appeared to be mere pleasantries. Luckily for Leo, he's handled a very similar situation with his old flame before ... being under the same roof with her and then-GF Nina Agdal.

Victoria's Secret Angel Taylor Hill might have had a little too much fun for Day 2 of Coachella, 'cause she had to be carried out by a group of friends by the end of it.

We got the model Saturday heading into the Empire Polo Club for round two of the festivities, where she was trying to be incognito -- but appeared perked up and fully engaged with our camera guy ... making her love for Beyonce loud and clear.

Then we saw her again as she was leaving with the same group of friends -- only this time she was being held up as her head was hanging and she stumbled to the car.

We're told the guy Bieber punched was NOT arrested. No one reported the choking incident.

Justin Bieber punched a guy in the face and threw him against a wall after the man grabbed a woman by the throat at a Coachella party, and would not release his grip on her ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Justin and a friend showed up at a party Saturday being attended by Patrick Schwarzenegger. Justin was talking to some people when a guy walked in, spotted a woman ... and went ballistic. Sources at the party say he appeared to be on drugs -- and it looked as if the woman may have been his ex-GF.

We're told the guy suddenly grabbed the woman by the throat and would not release her. Justin and his friend started screaming at the guy to let her go, but he only screamed back "Go f*** yourself" ... maintaining his grip. At that point, Justin hit the man in the face and pushed him against the wall ... allowing the woman to break free.

The Weeknd appears to be swooping in on more of Justin Bieber's leftovers at Coachella -- this time getting cozy with Chantel Jeffries.

Abel was spotted Saturday night at Day 2 of the festival with his arm around Chantel, as they strolled around the closed-off VIP area ... drinks in hand, and all smiles. They were also seen hugging at one point, and she even leaned her head on his shoulder.

We've been down this road before -- as you might recall, Weeknd dated Selena Gomez for the better part of 2017, and they had themselves a PDA-filled Coachella last spring as well.

Another day at Coachella ... another slew of celebs showing up and showing off their hottest desert styles.

Stars like Rihanna, Dennis Rodman, Kylie Jenner, Halsey, Olivia Culpo, Kyle Richards, Amber Rose, A$AP Rocky, Demi Lovato -- who posed for a provocative pool shot on the second day of the music fest -- and tons more were in Indio to enjoy performances by artists like HAIM, Tyler the Creator, David Byrne, alt-J, Post Malone and of course ... Beyonce.

Beyonce pulled a fast one at Coachella, fooling even us ... 'cause she reunited with her old Destiny's Child crew for one HELLUVA performance this weekend.

Bey took the stage late Saturday night as the Day 2 headliner, and after an already kick-ass performance ... she eventually brought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a long overdue Destiny's Child reunion, contrary to what we'd been told in December.

Bey and co. started out with a few DC classics ... going from "Lose My Breath" to "Say My Name" and even belting out "Soldier" too. That wasn't the end of the cameos, though. Beyonce also brought out her hubby, Jay-Z, to cover their hit 2012 song "Deja Vu."

Her sister, Solange, also joined her on stage at one point to dance. Speaking of dancers, Beyonce's stage was flooded with them ... as we first told you, upwards of 100 or so. As if that wasn't historic enough, she also touched a milestone as the first black woman to headline the festival.

Needless to say, Beyonce certainly made up for lost time after missing Coachella last year. She even addressed her absence, saying ... "I had time to dream with two beautiful souls in my belly and this is everything and more I had in my dream, so thank you for sharing this with me."

Eminem's got some big shoes to fill tonight.

The Walmart yodeling kid ain't done yodeling yet -- he went straight from Coachella this weekend to play another, and seemingly much more important, gig in Nashville.

Mason Ramsey performed Saturday night at the famous Grand Ole Opry, which has hosted the likes of country legends like Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Little Jimmy Dickens, and many, many more. The kid did his thing -- Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues."

Apparently, this was one of Mason's dreams -- as it would be for any aspiring country artist. The Grand Ole Opry is known as "the show that made country music famous," with weekly performances dating back to the 1920s. And if you're wondering ... Mason killed.

Can't say we're surprised by the outpouring of love he's getting right now. He's become a national sensation ever since his OG Walmart yodeling clip went viral ... which ended up getting him a slot at Day 1 of Coachella, and appeared to win over Justin Bieber.

When Cardi B performs the biggest show of her life at Coachella, her pregnancy won't make the scene backstage any less of a rager ... at least for her entourage.

We got a hold of Cardi's rider and it's stocked, at first glance, with several things a pregnant woman shouldn't be consuming ... but also several preggo-friendly options. Here are some highlights:

- 6 dozen white roses
- Degree spray deodorant
- Gillette razors
- Grilled/fried chicken
- Caesar salad
- Roasted vegetables
- 2 bottles of D'usse
- 2 bottles of Hennessy
- 1 Bottle of 1942 tequila
- 20 bottles of water
- Red Bull
- Fresh coffee

We're told Cardi, who is due the first week of July, will obviously not be indulging in the booze ... ditto for Red Bull and coffee. All that stuff is for her hard-working team.

The roses are 100 percent for the boss lady, though. Let's face it, Cardi's getting used to that sweet smell of success.

Nicki Minaj and Quavo know how to smooth over a hip-hop beef the right way -- make it quick ... and hit up a VIP party right after.

Nicki and the Migos rapper hit up a Coachella after-party on the first night with a crew of A-list celebs -- including Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Scott and Chance the Rapper ... and they all seemed to be feelin' good.

Minaj and Quavo had a mini falling out earlier this week over the song "MotorSport" ... but it appears to be water under the bridge already. Nicki revealed late Friday night Quavo apologized and she forgave him ... so perhaps SZA was right.

Brooke Burke's leathering the storm of her pending divorce from David Charvet ... by arriving at Coachella in an outfit that's fit to make him eat his heart out.

Brooke entered the festival grounds Friday afternoon in a sexy all-black and leather getup and a smile on her face. She made the trip to the desert with her daughter.

We broke the story ... the model and TV personality filed for divorce from her husband last week after nearly 7 years of marriage.

Coachella Day 1 did not disappoint in the celeb dept. ... scores showed up to take in a little pop, a little rap and a little yodeling.

Where to start ... Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Chanel West Coast, Iggy Azalea, Josie Canseco, Emily Ratajkowski, Brooke Burke, Brielle Biermann, French Montana, Cindy Crawford, Teyana Taylor, Olivia Culpo, Randy Jackson, Lisa Rinna, Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, Brooklyn Beckham and lots more.

12:00 PM PT -- Sources close to Cardi B tell us ... she ultimately decided not to hire any additional dancers and is going with her original crew to back her up.

Cardi B went on a hiring spree just days before her Coachella performance, and made a primo score -- a bunch of Beyonce's fired backup dancers.

Our Coachella sources tell us Beyonce fired about 20 of her backup dancers earlier this week. It's unclear why Bey axed the dancers -- as we told you, she's got plenty to spare -- but we're told about a dozen or so hit up Cardi's team to get into her highly-anticipated Sunday show.

Our Cardi sources tell us she already had about 16 backup dancers when the new crew came calling. We're told Cardi mulled it over, and liked the idea of making her act even more grandiose. The plan is now to hire 4 to 5 of Bey's ex-dancers, and confidence is high they'll be able to nail the choreography in time.

The set should be a huge spectacle. Cardi recently said she plunked down about $300k of her own money to cover production costs, but we're told costs swelled to as much as $450k.

Justin Bieber got yodeling fever at Coachella Friday ... proving that Walmart kid has truly taken the country by storm.

Justin hit up Mason Ramsey's performance at the music festival ... where he serenaded the crowd after being invited up on stage by Whethan.

The crowd went crazy for Mason as he yodeled "Lovesick Blues" and Justin was impressed enough to carry the tune as he walked from the concert.

We're told Manson and his people -- yes, he has people -- are in touch with Post Malone and his peeps, for a triumphant return to Coachella weekend 2.

Everyone at Coachella this weekend better make sure their credentials are on point, because there's a serious crackdown this year, more than ever ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the music fest tell us all staffers have been instructed to meticulously check everyone's wristbands and passes -- especially for VIP areas -- because they've had issues in the past and don't want anyone where they don't belong.

We're told security's also keeping a watchful eye out for phone thieves -- a big problem last year -- and a zero-tolerance policy's in place for anyone caught jacking personal property. All perps will be arrested on the spot.

We broke the story ... there will also be intensive surveillance at Coachella, including drones that will blanket the festival grounds, scanning for ominous looking packages and people.

These desert dolls are looking darling in the Indio heat with these short shorts ... Trek through our gallery of Coachella daisy dukes and see if you can guess which cutoff cutie is keepin' cool in the festive photo!
