The singer-songwriter was spotted on the sidewalk crushing some boxes he was recycling Tuesday afternoon ... and, it seems he needed to get it done quick, 'cause he didn't even have time to put on a T-shirt.

Kidding aside, Shawn's flaunting his toned chest here ... putting on a show for passersby during his eco-friendly act.

Alexandra slammed the accusation, telling the Daily Mail she "wouldn’t be drawn into the latest claims" ... refusing to give the gossip any more life.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's "Love Story" may be going strong, but the A-list couple is not ready to tie the knot ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to the couple tells TMZ…. "It’s not true and the recent erratic and unfounded speculation on this couple is just proving that media and overzealous fans do not know what’s going on with them and shouldn’t make wild assumptions based on zero facts. Two days ago everyone had decided they were broken up, now they’re allegedly secretly engaged? It’s whiplash-inducing."

This update comes after ESPN commentator Troy Aikman doubled down on his decision to refer to the pop star as "The Missus" during "Monday Night Football" this week.

Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko are going to have a hard time denying they're dating after this ... 'cause they went to a tattoo parlor together, and couldn't stop making out while getting new ink.

Ariana Grande is saying "thank u, next" to gossip about her love life ... setting the record straight for the first time after debuting her romance with Ethan Slater last year.

The singer addressed the speculation surrounding the origin of her relationship with her "Wicked" costar in a new interview with Vanity Fair.

President Joe Biden has been rumored to be interested in buying Olivia Newton-John's California ranch ... however, those who were close to the late star aren't sold on the gossip.

A rep for the late "Grease" actress' family tells TMZ ... this rumor is "not true," even though a report in the Montecito Journal claimed the President and First Lady Jill Biden were eyeing the property as their post-White House pad.

We wouldn't be surprised if the Bidens were taken with the estate, as the sunny abode is located in Santa Ynez ... a lush community outside Santa Barbara, known for its world-class wineries.

Photogs got Amber at LAX on Thursday and asked her about Trump pushing the conspiracy at the debate and on the campaign trail, even though officials in Ohio say it's nonsense.

Amber says she's seen videos on social media of people claiming their pets were taken and eaten by Haitian immigrants in Ohio, so Trump's claims must be true ... at least in her eyes.

11:00 AM PT -- Nassau County PD Commissioner Patrick Ryder tells TMZ ... "Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded.

The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by the police."

After two assassination attempts on Donald Trump's life this year, a fresh threat was reported Wednesday -- and though it's been dismissed as bogus, it’s probably not doing much to ease  Trump and his team’s nerves.

This morning, journalist James Lalino claimed in an X post ... Nassau County Police Department sources told him the perimeter at Trump’s Long Island rally site at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum was apparently "breached" and a "blue barrel" was removed.

Lalino also claimed during a K9 sweep, authorities supposedly found an explosive device in one of the vehicles nearby, and the driver fled into the woods.
