Diddy's parties for the rich and famous have long been shrouded in mystery, but now TMZ can show why -- 'cause we've obtained a standard NDA Combs asked party attendees to sign.

The document -- a pretty standard non-disclosure agreement -- prevents signees from sharing information related to Diddy, his family members, current or former partners, spouses, friends of business associates.

The NDA tells signees not to photograph, film or record -- or, have another person photograph film or record -- Diddy or anyone in his orbit without his written consent ... and, specifically names social media sites where attendees can't post photos Diddy doesn't sign off on.

Post Malone may want to start a music school ... 'cause he helped a young girl along her music journey with the gift of one of his favorite guitars last year -- and, she just recently performed onstage with him.

The singer-songwriter brought out a 12-year-old girl named Winter during his show last month in Nashville at Nissan Stadium. For diehard Post Malone fans, you may remember the viral video of Posty giving his Fender Telecaster guitar to a young girl at his Tampa Bay concert in August 2023 -- that's Winter.

Check out the vid ... Malone's security helps Winter over the barricade and onto the Nashville stage -- where he gives the kid a big hug before telling the crowd about their connection.

The spookiest celebs brought controlled chaos to the Chateau Marmont ... with stars showing off their most creative costumes at the famous hotel's annual Halloween party.

Some of the biggest stars in H'wood pulled up to the big bash in elaborate costumes ... like Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, who crushed an Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala couple's costume.

Newly engaged stars Nina Dobrev and Shaun White dove into Batman's rogues gallery for their costume ... channeling Catwoman and the Riddler from the hit 1990s 'Batman' films.

Fat Joe became the butt of all jokes at the Los Angeles Dodgers championship parade day when Enrique Hernández credited him with helping the New York Yankees LOSE the World Series!!!

Kiké took the podium Friday and had no shame in his game sizing up the effectiveness of Ice Cube's performance in comparison to Joe's Timberland'ed time on the mound 😬

Game 2 featured the former N.W.A. leader even impressing a few Yankees with his performance of "Bow Down" and "It Was A Good Day" -- and Kiké says the Blue Crew had the game in the bag.

Matthew Stafford's wife says she loves Taylor Swift, but initially wasn't too happy with the pop superstar crossing over into her world ... admitting the NFL's coverage of Travis Kelce's romance made her "jealous."

Kelly Stafford weighed in on the topic on her "The Morning After" podcast ... when she made it clear her issue wasn't with Swift at all, but more so how her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar was attracting a ton of buzz.

"I will say I kind of got tired of the Chiefs’ coverage of it, actually the NFL’s coverage, of this budding relationship last year," Stafford said. "And can she do anything about that? No, she can’t."

Not every celebrity goes all out for Halloween like Heidi Klum and Kim Kardashian ... a lot of them mail it in, and we've got the photos to prove it!!!

Patti Harrison went as Michael Jackson and his infant son Blanket ... Emma Roberts threw on a pink wig and a sequined jacket.

Diplo looked like he put in even less effort ... and his Halloween costume has lots of folks asking the dreaded, "And what are you supposed to be?" Frankly, we haven't the slightest clue.

Lyfe Jennings is claiming his old record label Sony Music owes him $15 million, and they're dragging their feet about paying him -- but he's focused on getting even by revamping his old songs!!!

The R&B vet caught up with TMZ Hip Hop at LAX on Thursday and he told us he's in for the good fight ... even as he knows the outcome isn't in his favor.

Lyfe says he signed a loopholed contract with Sony ahead of his 2004 debut album, where they were able to keep most of the profits for themselves because he didn't get in the black within the first 3 years!!!

Bianca Censori threw us a curveball this Halloween ... ditching her usual barely-there look for a surprise cover-up, proving even she can play it a little coy when she wants to.

The Aussie model hit the club in Harajuku, Japan, with her man, Kanye West, on Thursday, rocking a baby-blue ensemble -- and even though it was more fabric than we’re used to seeing from her, she still brought the heat with an insanely skintight fit.

Bianca paired her figure-hugging turtleneck with tiny nude shorts, putting those legs on full display. While some might still call it risqué, for Bianca, this was an unexpectedly demure look ... and she seemed to be really getting into it!

Halloween 2024 has come and gone ... and, some celebs saved their best outfits for the holiday -- pulling out all the stops as October came to a close.

Sports star Livvy Dunne saved the day in her Wonder Woman outfit ... flashing her powerful muscles while curled up on the couch. Charli D'Amelio went for grace over brawn, turning heads in her "Black Swan"-inspired outfit, And, pop star Maluma and his fam dressed as a family of cowboys.

Ed Sheeran wasn't monkeying around in his interpretation of an AI photo blending him and a primate ... hopping on a table and smiling while dressed in a big chimp costume.

Camila Cabello's night nearly took a turn when she and her friend both hit the ground hard outside of the Chateau Marmont Halloween party ... though, thankfully there was no gory horror movie injury to worry about.

We caught up with the singer-songwriter outside the glitzy Chateau Marmont Halloween party in L.A. Thursday night ... and, before we could even ask a question, her friend took a pretty nasty spill on the pavement.

Check out the clip ... CC's friend falls over and the pop star can't help but start to laugh before she goes over to pick her buddy up -- only to hit the ground as well.

Fat Joe is adding his 2 cents to the brewing conversation that today's hip hop journalists are big trash, spurned over backlash from Kendrick Lamar giving his first "Not Like Us" interview to SZA!!!

The Bronx rap legend sat down for a new interview to discuss the fleeting practice of artists having journalists ask them fair questions, in exchange, to be able to alter the narrative on their own platforms. Fat Joe says the coverage of Tupac Shakur and Biggie's beef led to their demise!!!

"I also believe that the old guard of hip-hop journalists created a lot of conflict and might even have blood on their hands," Joe explained.

Tyler, The Creator cursed out Taylor Swift's Swifties for bringing up his old lyrics in hopes of getting him canceled ... he's doubling down on his wildest words!!!

On Halloween, Tyler surprised his Boston fans with a “Chromakopia” album concert to promote his latest project after he defiantly released it Monday -- against music industry standards.

The release shot Tyler to the top of the Global Spotify Artist chart for 3 consecutive days ... knocking Taylor of that perch, and likely sparking the ire of Swifties everywhere.

But, he fired back defiantly ... addressing Taylor's army while on top of the Converse Flagship Store -- "I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass ... Bitch, go listen to 'Tron Cat' -- I don't give a f***!!!"

A former Playboy model claims she was at a Diddy "Freak-Off" with a soundtrack ... music from one Jennifer Lopez.

Rachel Kennedy says it all went down in Japan in 2000, when she and 2 friends met Diddy at a topless club and he invited them back to his hotel suite.

Kennedy, who appeared on the Daily Mail's "The Trial of Diddy" podcast, says she thought she was going to a party -- but when she arrived the only person in the room was Diddy in a bathrobe.

It ain't the Christmas season 'til Mariah Carey declares, "It's Time," and she's done just that -- ushering in the festive season in her true diva style.

Just after the clock chimed midnight on Nov 1, the Queen of Christmas went from Morticia Addams, dancing a dark tango with Gomez in a shadowy mansion, to full holiday mode in a festive twist that only Mariah could pull off.

Mariah's Halloween-to-Christmas magic hits when she throws a knife at Gomez, which he dodges, and boom ... she's twirling in a festive red dress as the spooky mansion melts into holiday cheer -- and, of course, her holiday banger, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is playing.

Heidi Klum's Halloween bash is always a wild event -- but this year it was totally out of this world!

The supermodel and her hubby, Tom Kaulitz, dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. E.T. -- the extra-terrestrial character from Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic alien film -- for her annual spookfest, which was held at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC.

Heidi brought E.T. to new heights, recreating the glowing fingertip of the movie's strange but kind visitor from a faraway galaxy. She wore a mechanical E.T. costume head with a portable mouth and eyes, which were controlled remotely by Heidi's handlers.
