Lil Tay's on the road to recovery, it seems ... with her team posting she's recovering from heart surgery -- and specifically saying this isn't a hoax.

In the vid, shared to Tay's X account, the rapper is hooked up to a series of hospital machines, resting after what her account describes as surgery on a heart tumor.

It's a short clip, and she's knocked out through all of it ... but, her team says they're "overjoyed to share that Tay’s open-heart surgery was a great success" -- adding their deepest thanks to all of her doctors.

Tahlia Skaines, a 29-year-old internet personality from Down Under, has left her 800K followers divided after wearing a risqué white dress ... to someone else's wedding.

It's a pretty shocking return ... just a few weeks ago Tana ditched Brooke and went solo after her podcast partner's old racist posts reared their ugly head.

North West's trying to get that bag ... or, at least pretending to in a new viral TikTok trend -- 'cause she filmed a vid with one of her favorite influencers on a night out with Lala Anthony.

The daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hit Sei Less -- a popular Asian fusion restaurant in New York City -- with Lala ... and, eyewitnesses tell TMZ they ran into Tylil James, a popular Twitch streamer of whom North is a huge fan.

We're told James was at the spot hanging with rapper Rubi Rose, but took some time to film a few vids with North -- including the viral "Give Me My Money" TikTok trend.

British influencer Tasha Newcombe is doubling down there's nothing untoward about her relationship with a teenager ... saying her 16-year-old beau doesn't act his age.

Tasha and her new boyfriend, Marko Vituk, hopped on "The BlueTick Show," where they addressed their 5-year age gap ... and clapped back at folks who felt she crossed the line by a mile.

As Marko put it ... Tasha first came on his radar after she liked a handful of his Instagram posts ... prompting him to slide into her DMs. Tasha didn't realize his age at first and was wary about continuing to talk after learning he was only a teen.

Streaming superstar Kai Cenat is pissed he's getting calls from the Secret Service, because Kamala Harris' campaign wants to collaborate with him ... but we're told this is far from the truth.

Kai went live with an angry rant about politics and the Secret Service nosing into his world -- but no one from the Harris for President campaign has been in touch with Kai or his team ... a source with knowledge of the situation tells TMZ.

We're also told Harris campaign leadership hasn't even had any conversation about Kai interviewing Harris.

Kai Cenat's services are being requested to help endorse Kamala Harris for President after Adin Ross went all out for Donald Trump ... and even gave him a Tesla Cybertruck!!!

On Monday, Adin gave a chunk of his Gen-Z audience a taste of political fodder when he hosted Trump to dish on -- and diss -- Joe Biden and Kamala, the American crime rate ... even "relatable" topics like Young Thug's current RICO trial.

It didn't take long for Kai's name to become a trending topic across social media SIMPLY for being Adin's counterpart, but Kamala supporters think he needs to step in and provide balance to the Force!!!

Sources with direct knowledge reaffirm Hannah's post ... telling TMZ Hannah's heartbroken over people suggesting her husband Daniel -- who's the son of Jet Blue founder David Neeleman -- is controlling her ... 'cause she feels he's an amazing, loving husband.

Jake Paul is doubling down on his support for Donald Trump -- squaring up with the former president at an event over the weekend ... and telling his millions of followers the country needs No. 45 back in the Oval Office now more than ever.

27-year-old Paul -- who has been increasingly outspoken on his political stance following the July 13 assassination attempt -- got some one-on-one time with Trump at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville ... and used the opportunity to playfully pretend like they were getting ready to scrap.

But there's certainly no beef between the two ... as Paul told his 26.7 million Instagram supporters to exercise their right to vote come election day -- but made it clear whose side he's on, and it ain't Kamala Harris'.

Rapper Kyle almost didn't make it to his show in Austin Thursday night ... as he and his friends found themselves in a sticky situation.
