Tyka Nelson, a singer and Prince's sister, has died ... according to multiple reports.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune spoke to Tyka's son, President Nelson, who said she passed away Monday morning ... but he did not give a cause of death.

Prince's younger sister was known for more than just her famous older brother ... she released four albums ... and she had a hit in July 1988 with her single "Marc Anthony's Tune." Tyka reportedly had a crush on Marc when she wrote the song.

Diddy's kids are still proving they're in his corner -- they banded together to wish him a happy birthday as he sits behind bars.

In an IG post, the disgraced mogul's 7 kiddos joined forces to sing happy birthday to Diddy as he turned 55 on Monday -- and they even let baby Love steal the spotlight for her own rendition of the song before Diddy gushed on the other end of the line how he couldn't wait to see them all.

At first glance, it looks like a sweet family moment, with the kids going all out in his honor -- complete with Love almost face-planting into the birthday cake they lit for their dad.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are going through a complicated divorce, but their families remain close ... look no further than J Lo's sister and Ben's daughter.

J Lo's sister shared the photo, along with a couple autumn-inspired photos of the campus, on social media Sunday ... captioning it, "New Haven with my favorite Yalie."

Quincy Jones, the legendary music titan who worked with nearly every icon ... from Michael Jackson to Frank Sinatra to Will Smith ... has died, TMZ has confirmed.

Arnold Robinson, Quincy's publicist, told TMZ ... he died Sunday night at his home in Bel-Air, California surrounded by his family.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family said in a statement. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Mariah Carey must've watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" recently ... 'cause she's blending Christmas and Halloween perfectly at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights!

The singer-songwriter hit the annual Halloween bash earlier this week, outfitted in an "Alvin & The Chipmunks" costume ... pretty hilarious considering the little rodents have almost as much Christmas clout as MC.

In the vid, Mariah's milling around The Wizarding World of Harry Potter ... with enough security to protect from any vampires or werewolves who might want to take down the Queen of Christmas.

Tori Spelling's showing off some new bling ... baring her abs in a crop top -- with a pair of piercings stuck into her side.

The actress stepped out in Los Angeles with her daughter, Stella, earlier this week ... and -- while leaving Taco Bell with a bunch of goodies -- photogs captured the star's stomach piercings.

Check it out ... TS has two studs arranged diagonally on her tummy -- glittering as she leaves the fast-food joint with a bag under her arm and drinks in hand.

Sharon Osbourne is not a big fan of Simon Cowell after their publicized falling out ... but she doesn't care if her daughter Kelly is chummy with the guy, she tells TMZ.

We ran into SO while she was leaving Kelly's 40th birthday party in Hollywood ... and we just had to know what she thought about Kelly and Simon being buddies after KO talked about it in a recent interview.

When asked her 2 cents on the friendship with Simon -- who, again, SO feuded with and had a falling out from their 'X Factor UK' and "America’s Got Talent" days ... Sharon told us it's "great" ... adding, "I'm happy that she does."

Justin and Hailey Bieber celebrated Halloween in a very exciting way this year ... sharing their first family picture with baby Jack Blues!

The couple went the Disney route ... Hailey dressed as the popular cartoon character Kim Possible ... with Justin dressed up as Ron Stoppable and son Jack as Rufus. In the popular cartoon, Kim is a world-saving teen and Ron is her BFF sidekick. Rufus is Ron's pet mole-rat -- adorbs!

With his tiny face hidden ... Justin cradled 2-month-old Jack ... while mom gave a sweet, loving look at their bundle of joy. And yes, the couple made sure to get some snaps in of just the 2 of them -- including one pic where JB flashed his abs!

These spooky stars decked out in Halloween costumes with their entire household, and it's a family affair! Why go to the club for Halloween when you can walk the neighborhood with Hollywood's cutest crews!

It was a Mario Bro's party with Jersey Shore's Deena Nicole who brought the pink with her finest Princess Peach costume, while her hubby and kids dressed as Luigi, Super Mario and Wario.

Tia Mowry snapped a spooky selfie before taking her and her kiddos on an alien adventure, while twin sister Tamera Mowry and her fam were feelin' "The Addams Family!"

Gayle King says Malia Obama doesn't need her father's famous last name to make it in Hollywood ... because her work speaks for itself.

We got Gayle in New York City on Thursday and our photog asked her about Malia dropping Obama from the credits in her movies and rolling with her first and middle names.

Malia wants people to focus on her art and not her Obama heritage.

Malia Obama thinks dropping her famous last name from the credits of her movies will make people forget who her parents are ... but we've got some debate about this in today's TMZ TV Hot Take.

Barack Obama's daughter is directing movies now and going by Malia Ann ... but Harvey and Charles aren't convinced that's going to be enough to throw folks off her scent.

We discussed it all on "TMZ Live" ... including a look at how nepotism seems to be changing in Hollywood these days ... at least with the younger generations.

Keke Palmer is getting real about her tumultuous relationship with ex Darius Jackson, saying she had to turn to the courts in a desperate attempt to bring back order when things spiraled out of control.

The actress told PEOPLE it was the toughest experience she’s ever faced ... revealing that a lot was happening behind closed doors, especially with the birth of their son Leo last year and her fame putting major stress on their relationship.

Keke dives into it all in her upcoming book, "Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative," dropping Nov. 19 -- and she needed plenty of pages to unpack everything -- including that infamous moment when Darius publicly called out the outfit she wore to an Usher concert last year.

Keke also sought a temporary restraining order against Darius, alleging instances of domestic and emotional abuse.

Despite things having spiraled so deeply out of control, the estranged exes settled amicably and got joint custody of their son months later ... and looking back, Keke admits she wished she could say Darius was terrible the entire time, but the situation wasn't that black and white.

Suzanne suggested these personal goals led Matthew to seek out mental health treatment -- including ketamine infusion therapy -- which MP's mom said had a "frightening aspect" to his medication.
