Gwen Stefani y No Doubt se reúnen para encabezar Coachella

Gwen Stefani y el resto de los miembros de No Doubt se reunirán de nuevo después de un buen tiempo, y lo harán en el desierto como cabezas de cartel de Coachella, nada menos.

La alineación para el festival anual de música acaba de caer, y mientras hay tres grandes actos programados para actuar viernes y domingo durante dos fines de semana diferentes ... parece que Gwen y compañía serán el plato fuerte de la noche, porque los contrataron como cabezas de cartel.

Goldenvoice tiene a Lana Del Rey actuando el viernes 12 de abril y el 19; Tyler the Creator se encargará de las funciones de cabeza de cartel el sábado 13 de abril y el 20; y Doja Cat lo hará el domingo.

Pero, echa un vistazo a la parte inferior de este cartel, sólo se lee ... "Y ... No Doubt". Una vez más, no hay claridad sobre lo que eso significa o qué día la banda podría hacer lo suyo... es un misterio.

Curiosamente, la banda se burló de esto alrededor de una hora antes de que Coachella hiciera el anuncio, burlándose del hecho de que estaban ansiosos por reunirse de nuevo y "hacer un show". Es un clip divertido y algo producido que muestra a Gwen, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont y Adrian Young en un chat de grupo, y luego, se pasan Zoom donde dieron vueltas a la idea de actuar.

Como resulta, que van a hacer un chapoteo con su gran concierto de regreso - golpear el escenario en posiblemente la plataforma más grande en la música ... actuando frente a miles de personas.

No Doubt no ha actuado como grupo en un buen tiempo, de hecho, la última vez que subieron al escenario juntos fue en 2015 durante el Global Citizen Earth Day Concert de ese año en D.C. Desde entonces, realmente no han rockeado todos juntos.

¡Ahora, los fans tendrán la oportunidad de verlos en directo!

Gwen Stefani & No Doubt Guys, We Should Do a Show How 'Bout Coachella?!?

Gwen Stefani and the rest of the members of No Doubt are getting together again after a good long while -- and they're it in the desert ... headlining Coachella, no less.

The lineup for the annual music festival just dropped, and while there are 3 big acts slated to perform Fri-Sun on 2 different weekends ... it looks like Gwen and co. will be the real talent -- 'cause they're being listed as a general, all-around headliner ... with no specific dates.

Goldenvoice has Lana Del Rey performing on Friday April 12th and 19th; Tyler the Creator will handle headlining duties on Saturday April 13th and 20th; and Doja Cat will do Sunday.

But, take a look at the bottom of this poster, it just reads ... "And ... No Doubt." Again, no clarity on what that means or which day the band might do their thing -- it's a mystery.

Funny enough, ND actually teased this about an hour before Coachella dropped the lineup -- teasing the fact they were itching to get together again and "do a show." It's a fun, somewhat produced clip that features Gwen, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young hopping onto a group chat and then a Zoom ... where they kicked around the idea of performing.

As it turns out, they're gonna be making a splash with their big comeback gig -- hitting the stage on possibly the biggest platform in music ... performing in front of thousands of people.

No Doubt hasn't performed as a group in a while -- in fact, the last time they hit the stage together in an official capacity was in 2015 during that year's Global Citizen Earth Day Concert in D.C. Since then, they haven't really rocked out as a unit.

Now, fans will get a chance to see 'em live ... and get underneath it all in person. Sweet!

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Guess Who This Little Blue Jay Turned Into!

Before this kid in her Blue Jay hoodie turned into a singer and an actress making her feature film debut in "Power Rangers," she was just riding her rocking horse and growing up in Moreno Valley, California with her 3 younger siblings.

Her popularity and success have led to big collaborations with Christina Aguilera, David Guetta and other famous musicians. And for you wrestling fans out there, this artist opened WrestleMania 39 with "America The Beautiful," and she performed at Coachella this year!

"Dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower La-da-di, la-da-da, la-da-da!"

Can you guess who he is?

YG & Saweetie Sí, We're Dating ... PDA-Filled Getaway to Mexico!!!

YG and Saweetie are officially an item ... and they jetted down to Mexico to let the whole world know they're dating.

The rappers are packing on the PDA down in Cabo -- and there's clearly nothing platonic about their hang.

YG and Saweetie couldn't keep their hands off each other Sunday as they took a romantic dip at their resort ... embracing and making out at the edge of the pool.

Saweetie showed off her assets with a bright pink bikini ... and YG looks pretty happy with his new boo, as he should be.

The holiday weekend trip confirms dating rumors that have swirled around YG and Saweetie for months ... in case you missed it, the speculation began last month when they were seen together at Coachella.

The music festival meetup proved to not be a one-off, and there's nothing like a Cabo trip to solidify a new romance.

Guess Who This Mini Musician Turned Into!

Before this cute kid playing on his electric keyboard turned into a talented musician and deejay, he was just hangin' around the house in his pj's while watching his parents play the guitar and piano in Dansenberg, Germany.

Perhaps you've heard of one his breakout songs -- "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites" -- a collaboration he worked on with Skrillex, but if you need some more "clarity" on who this cool dude is ... he's worked with some of music's hottest stars including Hailee Steinfeld and Ariana Grande.

He's also performed at Coachella a time or two!

Can you guess who he is?

Blink-182 Concert Ghostlike Figure Is Big Travis Fan ... Casper or Kourtney???

HIDING IN PlAIN SIGHT
TMZ.com

Big mystery in Montreal over the weekend at a Blink 182 concert ... someone enveloped in a blanket is getting special attention from one Travis Barker, and lots of folks suspect it's Kourtney Kardashian!

The ghostlike figure sat underneath the blanket for the entire concert. At times the person was moving around as if they were uncomfortable ... it was super hot in the venue.

So here's the clue. When the concert was over, Travis hopped off stage, wrapped his arm around the mystery person and walked off.

Now if this were some rando, you'd think security might step in and check out what's what, but that apparently didn't happen ... further evidence it's Kourtney.

TMZ INVESTIGATES

Blink's really on a roll since Coachella.  They're now in the midst of their world tour. They perform in Toronto Monday.

Who knew Kourtney would ghost Travis!

Guess Who This 'Star Wars' Kid Turned Into!

Before this serious kiddo with wavy hair turned into a big-time Hollywood star, she was just an only child -- born in Jerusalem but growing up in Long Island, New York -- who started her acting career when she was just a young and mighty teen!

The cute kid posing in this black and white photo famously played a black and white swan next to Mila Kunis. Everyone at Coachella who sports space buns should step aside because no one does space buns like this beautiful queen!

Need one more clue? Her lightsaber is green!

Can you guess who she is?

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee Massive Coachella Brawl Backstage In Presence of Infant Son!!!

FIGHTING WITH SECURITY
TMZ.com

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee's gotta be feeling pretty lucky ... an all-out royal rumble went down with security ahead of his Coachella performance, but he and his baby managed to dodge the blows.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Swae and his entourage attempting to enter the festival grounds at a security checkpoint behind the stage ... but their path was slowed by several security workers, and that's when things got physical.

You can see Swae actually get knocked back against some fencing as all hell breaks loose ... security guards swarm in like piranhas, pummeling another man in Swae's camp. All the while, one of Swae's guards makes sure his baby -- in a big car seat -- is safe.

Management for Swae tells us ... “As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them. As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage."

They continue, "The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration."

Swae's team says his own security did a bang-up job protecting him, and more importantly, his baby boy. When the dust settled, Swae and his bro Slim Jxmmi got onstage as scheduled to rock the crowd.

COACHELLA THROWDOWN

The brothers Sremm just released their "Sremm 4 Life" album and fans will have plenty of time to see them live this year ... just without the WWE-style entrances, most likely.

Coachella Curfew Fines Cut in Half ... Lesson Learned Weekend 2

The people who organize Coachella figured out how to work with those late night noise rules -- 'cause the fines they're paying for running long are about half of last week's.

A rep for the City of Indio tells TMZ ... Goldenvoice was fined $51,000 for curfew violations racked up during Weekend 2. That might sound like a lot, but pales in comparison to the $117k they shelled out last week for the lengthy final sets that crept into the wee hours of the morning.

Here's the breakdown ... we're told Friday night's festivities went 2 minutes past the 1 AM curfew -- amounting to a $20,000 fine. Saturday, which also had a 1 AM curfew in place, didn't go over the line at all ... so no ding there. Sunday, however, went well past the slightly earlier 12 AM curfew ... at 16 minutes, and costing Goldenvoice $31k.

You'll recall -- the contract festival organizers have with the City calls for a daily fine of $20k for the first 5 minutes past curfew, with another $1,000 added for every minute thereafter.

Like we said ... $51k is nothing to sneeze at, but considering they got the fines down a significant amount compared to Weekend 1 ($66,000 in savings) -- it's not half bad.

The lineup changed a bit this week ... including the notable replacement of Frank Ocean, who had to bow out after injuring himself. Blink-182 stepped in to handle main stage duties at 9:20 PM, and then Skrillex and other EDM DJs filled the void later at 10:25 PM.

Seems the swap worked out for everyone ... and kept things on schedule.

Latto & Coi Leray Patch-Up 'Body-Shaming' Beef Before It Spirals Outta Control

IT'S ALL LOVE
Coachella

Coi Leray got hit with a stray shot thanks to Latto's new "Put It On Da Floor" track, but it's not gonna lead to all out beef ... as both rappers have reached common ground.

Latto closed her Coachella weekend 2 performance on Sunday with her Nicki Minaj diss "Put It On Da Floor" once again and offered an explanation behind the lyrics that Coi took offense over ... publicly telling the crowd, "Aye, Coi. By the way, I love your body, baby."

Coi was triggered by Latto's bars, "Smokin' on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray" ... and, in response, insinuated Latto was in no position to give anyone body critiques.

However, after letting things settle, she's accepted Latto's clarification -- which means this crisis is averted!!!

Coi and Nicki have a hit collab together with 2022's "Blick Blick" ... so she clearly didn't want to be wedged in the middle.

Coachella Weekend 2 Saturday Night Kicks A**!!! BLACKPINK, Kid Laroi & Plenty of Surprises

Coachella is entering its final day, until the festival's return to the desert next year, and Saturday night delivered some of the biggest acts in music and some fun surprises, too.

BLACKPINK took the main stage once again as headliner, putting together a show with plenty of special effects while all 4 members looked and sounded incredible.

Earlier on in the day, Rosalía was also on the main stage, her performance has been one of the festival's most talked about for all the right reasons ... and she didn't disappoint with round 2.

Kid Laroi, Labrinth -- with special guest Zendaya -- and 070 Shake were just some of the tons of other artists to grace the festival's various other stages.

Fans also went wild when Sia joined Labrinth for their song "Thunderclouds."

As we reported, Frank Ocean will not be a part of Sunday at Coachella -- instead, Blink-182 will take over headlining duties followed by Fred Again and Skrillex.

Frank Ocean See The Coachella Ice Rink ... Oh, What Could Have Been

Frank Ocean's Coachella performance was originally set to feature an ice rink ... and while those plans were ultimately scrapped, TMZ has the first look at what could have been.

We obtained photos and videos of Frank's ice rink, which was set up about 50 yards from the main stage before he pulled the plug on the elaborate performance.

SETTIN' THE STAGE
TMZ.com

The images are from ice rink rehearsals on the Tuesday before Coachella Weekend 1 ... and folks who were there say security around the rink was very tight, with Frank not wanting anything about the frozen set to be spoiled beforehand.

It looks pretty cool ... and it may turn out to be one of the biggest "what ifs" in Coachella history ... because the ice rink didn't get worked into Frank's Sunday headlining set.

TMZ broke the story ... Frank hurt his ankle on festival grounds leading up to his show, causing some last-minute set changes, including putting the ice rink on ice.

Sources close to production tell TMZ ... ice skaters who had rehearsed for Frank's performance found out 3 hours before he was set to take the stage Sunday the rink plans were being scrapped.

BEING FRANK
TMZ.com

Frank ended up performing without the ice rink, showing up an hour late and delivering what many festivalgoers felt was a lackluster performance.

TMZ broke the story ... Frank dropped out as a Weekend 2 headliner Wednesday, citing a fractured leg and sprained ankle.

We're told the ice skaters got an email Thursday informing them they would not be performing Weekend 2. They will only be paid for a month's worth of rehearsals, plus the Weekend 1 rehearsal and performance.

It's interesting ... sources say Frank was super nice, hands on and amazing to work with during the first half of the monthlong rehearsals leading up to Coachella, but about halfway through everything changed and Frank became very reserved and would just sit in the corner and not interact with the performers.

Oh, what could have been. 😔

Zendaya Surprise, Coachella!!!

Zendaya is the star of one of the biggest shows on TV ... and she became the star of one of the biggest music festivals in the world when she made a surprise appearance during Labrinth's set.

Labrinth -- who has written, sings and produced a bunch of the songs featured on HBO's "Euphoria" -- took to the stage Saturday during Coachella's second weekend.

Fans went absolutely insane when unexpectedly, Zendaya joined Labrinth onstage to perform "All For Us" ... a song the two have together. It's the first time Zendaya's performed in years, and she didn't pop up during Weekend 1 of Coachella ... so the show was extra special.

We should note -- "All For Us" is a song featured on "Euphoria" -- and in 2020 Labrinth won an Emmy for Outstanding Music & Lyrics for the tune ... so it's super popular.

Zendaya marks the second surprise guest for Labrinth in as many weeks ... he brought out Billie Eilish last weekend ... much to the delight of fans.

"Euphoria" isn't set to return until next year ... so the Coachella performance will have to hold fans over until Zendaya's back on screens around the world.

Celebrity Scramble Guess Who!

The celeb behind this mixed-up image was just at Coachella, hanging with famous friends Justine Skye and Alexis Ren. You may have first seen her on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" with her model sister, but she recently released her debut song, "Nothing Lasts Forever."

And this scrambled face won't last forever either, so if you're still not able to pick her out of a lineup, you may be able to find her puckering and posing for her mom's beauty line.

Go on with your bad self and see if you can guess who this mashed-up star is!

Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble Coachella Double Date ... W/ Bezos/Sanchez!!!

Kris Jenner was like her kids this weekend -- hitting Coachella with her man, and tagging along with one of the biggest power couples around ... Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

The KarJenner matriarch was out in the desert Friday night alongside her partner, Corey Gamble, but they weren't cruising alone -- on the contrary, there were a few private SUVs that pulled up to the VIP entrance area ... and the Amazon founder stepped out as well.

HIGH-PROFILE HANGOUT
BACKGRID

Of course, he was with his lady as well ... and they seemed to be rolling with a small group of friends/couples. Everyone was in their best music festival getups -- JB especially.

They stood around and chitchatted before being led to a secret back route to the main stage ... where they were set to watch Bad Bunny perform for the second weekend in a row as a headliner. Remember, he had a memorable outing days ago with Kendall Jenner.

Unclear if the Gen X crew here was on the grounds earlier in the day or not -- there don't seem to be any pics of them floating around from what we can see ... but they certainly rolled deep for the evening sesh. Gotta imagine they hung it up after that, though.

Anyhoo ... it's an interesting pairing, but not surprising. We already know Kim Kardashian has had face time with Jeff and Lauren -- so it follows that Kris would know them too.

The question, of course, that must be asked when you're chillin' with high rollers like this is ... who picks up the check for a big dinner? Kris is rich, Jeff's way richer -- maybe Corey???

The world may never know ...

What's The Big Frigin' Difference?!

Singer Kali Uchis doesn't need background dancers to prove she's got the moves, but hey ... the more the merrier! Make your way toward the stage and see if you can back up the discreet changes made to the two shots.

The festival star tore it up on the Coachella stage recently in Indio, performing her unreleased song "Tattoo." Being the fashionista she is... Kali slayed the night away in a denim-on-denim outfit, but can you be just as frigin' cool and find the differences between the two images?

**HINT: There are THREE differences in the above Kali Uchis photos!**
