Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a rare public appearance all the way down in Jamaica -- hitting up the premiere for the new Bob Marley movie ... which is interesting.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew down to Kingston Tuesday night, where they were in attendance to watch the biopic about the late singer -- and yes, they were dressed to the nines and smiling from ear to ear ... looking pretty dang happy to be there.

Like we said, the Royal couple doesn't really get out all that much ... so the fact they surfaced for this film, specifically, perhaps speaks to a couple different things -- assuming you wanna read into it.

For starters ... it's worth noting Jamaica as a nation, of late, has made it clear it wants to step out from under the British Monarchy and become an independent republic -- similar to Barbados, which broke off on its own in recent years.

In fact, the Jamaican PM has spoken on this firmly ... to none other than Prince William and Kate Middleton during a tour of the country in 2022.

That's why the Prime Minister's presence at the premiere was also eye-popping, especially since Meg and Harry posed with him and appeared chummy. It makes ya rub your chin.

Considering their own history, you'd figure MM and PH are in alignment with what Jamaica wants ... so them standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Andrew Holness speaks volumes.

The other element here is the fact that this Bob Marley movie is being distributed through Paramount -- and a head honcho from the studio, Nickelodeon Prez Brian Robbins, was also there ... and he, too, posed with Meghan and Harry at one point during arrivals.

We know these two are in search of new opportunities in showbiz after taking some lumps last year ... and this almost seems like they're cozying up to the star/mountain crew.

It's that ... or they could just be huge Marley fans -- hard to say.

In any case, Meg and Harry were enjoying themselves ... even though they technically have nothing to do with this flick. Maybe this is the first sign of their redemption song in the biz.

Not to stir anything up, of course!

Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman is doubling down against the conservatorship his famous mom is seeking to control his estate ... he says he's cleaning up his act.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Elijah and his wife, Marieangela King, lay out the reasons why he doesn't need his mom to step in as conservator of his estate ... and he’s taking shots at Cher and leveling some pretty serious accusations in the process.

Elijah claims he's now sober, paying his bills and is committed to managing the quarterly payments he gets from the trust set up by his late father, legendary musician Greg Allman.

As we reported ... Cher claims she's concerned her son has substance abuse and mental health problems and can't manage the money he gets from the trust ... but here he says that's just not true.

Elijah's wife goes a step further in the docs ... alleging Cher essentially orchestrated a kidnapping of Elijah and had him held at a Mexican rehab facility against his will.

In the docs, Marieangela claims Elijah was brought to Mexico in October and told by a doctor Cher hired that he would be doing holistic alternative therapy ... but she claims it was actually a "makeshift prison-type facility known as the 'Baja Rehab' where he was being held against his will."

Marieangela claims she traveled daily from L.A. County to Rosarito "to rescue Elijah from the captivity his mother arranged." She says Elijah "was held captive" there for 2 months until Mexican federal agents escorted him out and dropped him off at the border.

For her part, Cher has vehemently denied the kidnapping allegations.

Elijah's wife also takes some shots at Cher in the docs ... she says she's known Cher for 11 years and says the singer is "categorically unfit to serve" as Elijah's conservator.

Marieangela claims Cher doesn't drive, doesn't make her own food or dress herself, and has told Marieangela she's "manic depressive."

While Elijah's giving his reasons why he doesn't need a conservatorship, there's a court hearing set for March 6 to determine whether Cher will be appointed conservator anyway.

Kanye West es como un pastor guiando un rebaño de ovejas estos días cuando se trata de paparazzi, y esta vez los llevó derecho a Bianca Censori, que estaba lista para ser fotografiada.

Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes de Ye llevando a una multitud de fotógrafos que lo han estado acosando a él y a Bianca desde hace días, ya que se han estado moviendo por todo Los Ángeles. La razón por la que trae a todo el mundo es para un solo propósito... fotografiar a su esposa.

El rapero estaba listo para hacer una sesión fotos improvisada y practicamente obligó a los tipos a sacar las fotografías.

Es bastante gracioso... Ye es muy específico con el tipo de ángulos que quiere, e incluso cede cuando le preguntan si Bianca (la modelo en este caso) puede mostrar algo de cara.

Recuerda mucho a la manera en la que Ye se enfrentó a los paparazzi el otro día. En este caso, fue un poco más práctico en darles instrucciones.

De hecho, ella tiene una especie de abrigo de piel de cuerpo entero con un sombrero de piel gigante para que coincida. No está claro si es real o no... pero eso no viene al caso.

Kanye West is like a shepherd leading a flock of sheep these days when it comes to paparazzi -- and here, he led 'em right to Bianca Censori ... who was ready to be snapped.

Check out this wild footage of Ye leading a crush of photogs -- who've been hounding him and Bianca for days now as they move all over L.A. -- into a private studio that he seems to have been using. The reason he brings everyone in is for one purpose ... shoot his wife.

Of course, we mean photograph ... as in, he was down to do an impromptu camera sesh right there and then on the spot with the dudes on hand ... and they happily obliged.

It's pretty funny ... Ye is very specific with what sorta angles he wants from them -- and he even gives in when they ask if Bianca (the model in this instance) can show some face.

Very reminiscent of how KW dealt with paps the other day. In this case, he was a little more hands-on in giving them instructions. Ditto for Bianca ... who, BTW, was in quite the outfit.

Indeed ... she's got some kind of full-body fur coat on -- with a giant fur hat to match. Unclear if it's real or not ... but that's sorta besides the point with this one. It's ... wacky.

A lot of Bianca's outfits lately have been eye-opening -- whereas she normally shows off a lot, it looks like she went in the opposite direction this time around ... all covered up.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori keep finding new ways for her to show off her breasts ... and this time, it looks like she went for the old nothing-underneath routine in the rain.

Check out these pics of Ye and his wife at a shopping mall in Century City Monday ... as you can see, he's wearing a brown Balenciaga raincoat, and Bianca's in a blue poncho with not much else underneath. In fact, it looks like she's going commando for her upper half.

The only thing clearly visible under Bianca's coat is her black underwear and knee-high black boots ... outside of that, there's nothing there but a rockin' bod and human flesh.

Safe to say, KW and BC are making a fashion statement on a cold and rainy day in L.A. ... and it certainly looks like the weather isn't the only thing here that's a bit nippy. Sorry, we just couldn't resist!

Anyway, this is far from the wildest getup Bianca's worn of late. She's been known to wear some super tight body suits, and sometimes ... nothing much at all. On this occasion, she is technically covered up more than usual -- but, like, not really at the same time.

Whether it's in a raincoat or anything else, Bianca (and Kanye, too, if we're being honest) seems determined to show off her assets one way or another -- and she usually succeeds.

Kanye West y Bianca Censori siguen encontrando formas para que ella muestre sus pechos y esta vez parece que optó por la vieja rutina de andar sin nada bajo la lluvia.

Echa un vistazo a estas fotos de Ye y su esposa en un centro comercial en Century City el lunes. Como se puede ver, él lleva un impermeable marrón Balenciaga y Bianca uno azul con no mucho más debajo. De hecho, parece que no lleva nada arriba.

Lo único claramente visible bajo el abrigo de Bianca es su ropa interior negra y sus botas negras a la rodilla. Fuera de eso, no hay nada más que un cuerpo rockero y carne humana.

Es seguro decir que Kanye y Bianca están haciendo una declaración de moda en un día frío y lluvioso en Los Ángeles, y ciertamente parece que el clima no es lo único un poco fresco aquí. Lo siento, ¡no nos pudimos resistir!

De todos modos, esto está lejos de ser el atuendo más salvaje que Bianca ha usado últimamente. Ella ha sido conocida por llevar algunos trajes super apretados y a veces ... nada en absoluto. En esta ocasión, ella está técnicamente más cubierta de lo habitual, pero al mismo tiempo, no realmente.

Ya sea en un impermeable o cualquier otra cosa, Bianca (y Kanye también, si somos honestos) parece decidida a mostrar sus activos de una manera u otra, y por lo general, tiene éxito.

Frank Farian, el fundador de los grupos musicales Milli Vanilli y Boney M. -ambos icónicos por diferentes razones- ha muerto.

La familia del cantante, compositor y productor alemán confirmó su fallecimiento el martes, diciendo que Frank murió en paz en su apartamento de Miami.

Su muerte se produce dos años después de que se sometió a una cirugía de reemplazo de válvula cardiaca que le salvó la vida. Le insertaron una válvula cardiaca de cerdo en el pecho, porque la suya se había encogido con la edad.

En su última entrevista, en noviembre de 2023, se jactó de que su nueva válvula cardíaca funcionaba de maravilla y le declaró al diario alemán Bild que estaba agradecido por tener un "buen cerdo dentro de mí".

A pesar de sus afirmaciones de buena salud, informes contrastados dijeron que su condición se había deteriorado después del procedimiento, ya que había perdido mucho peso y tuvo que usar una silla de ruedas y equipo de respiración debido a problemas pulmonares.

Frank nació como Franz Reuther en el oeste de Alemania en 1941, iniciándose en la industria de la música como solista al tiempo que se formaba como chef.

Hizo su primer gran chapoteo en el mundo de la música en 1976, cuando fundó el grupo vocal disco Boney M.

"Daddy Cool", "Rasputin" y "Mary's Boy Child" fueron solo algunos de los éxitos del grupo formado por Marcia Barrett, Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams y Bobby Farrell.

Su jugada más dudosa, sin embargo, llegó a finales de los 80s. Frank fundó el dúo de R&B pop Milli Vanilli. Contrató a Fab Morvan y Rob Pilatus para que fuieran la hermosa imagen, mientras que alistó a otros artistas para que hagan el verdadero trabajo musical y bocal. Tuvieron éxitos como "Blame It On The Rain" y "Girl You Know It's True".

De hecho, el grupo ganaría el Grammy al Mejor Artista Revelación antes de que toda la farsa de la sincronización labial se viniera abajo durante una actuación "en directo". La Academia de la Grabación les retiró el Grammy.

Frank también trabajó con artistas de la talla de Stevie Wonder y Meat Loaf y se estima que vendió 800 millones de discos en todo el mundo.

El cantante de country Chris Young salió a tomar una copa en Nashville y terminó su noche en la cárcel después de ser arrestado tras un presunto incidente con los funcionarios.

Según la declaración jurada de arresto, obtenida por TMZ, Chris estaba bebiendo en el bar Tin Roof el lunes por la noche en el centro de Nashville cuando los agentes de la Comisión de Bebidas Alcohólicas de Tennessee entraron para comprobar las identificaciones y tarjetas de licencia, y fue en ese momento que las cosas se complicaron.

El cantante de "Gettin 'You Home" supuestamente comenzó a interrogar a los agentes después de que comprobaron su identificación y los funcionarios dicen que comenzó a grabarlos y luego los siguió a la Dawg House, un bar de al lado donde el TABC estaba haciendo un control de rutina.

En el siguiente bar, los funcionarios afirman que Chris y un grupo de amigos comenzaron a hablar con la gente en el bar y el camarero, mientras que los agentes fueron a la parte trasera de la barra para comprobar las tarjetas de ABC.

Los agentes dicen que estaban caminando hacia la puerta cuando Chris bloqueó su salida, poniendo sus manos sobre uno de los oficiales para detener el agente de salir y golpear al agente en el hombro.

El agente dice que empujaron a Chris y luego los clientes del bar se apresuraron a interponerse entre Chris y los agentes ... dando lugar a muchos gritos y chillidos. Los agentes dicen que las personas que estaban con Chris les siguieron fuera del bar e hicieron la situación "hostil".

En su informe, los agentes dicen que Chris "tenía los ojos inyectados en sangre y llorosos" y que arrastraba las palabras.

Nos dicen que Chris fue detenido y fichado por 3 cargos, alteración del orden público, resistencia a la autoridad y asalto a un oficial de contacto ofensivo... todos delitos menores.

Frank Farian, the founder of musical groups Milli Vanilli and Boney M. -- both iconic for different reasons -- has died.

The German singer, songwriter, and producer's family confirmed his passing Tuesday ... saying Frank died peacefully at his Miami apartment.

His death comes 2 years after he underwent life-saving heart valve replacement surgery -- he got a pig heart valve inserted in his chest, because his own had shrunk with age.

In his last interview in November 2023, he gushed his new heart valve was working wonderfully and told German newspaper Bild, he was grateful he had a "good pig in me."

Despite his claims of good health, contrasting reports said his condition had deteriorated after the procedure -- he'd lost a lot of weight and had to use a wheelchair and breathing equipment due to lung issues.

Frank was born Franz Reuther in western Germany in 1941 ... kicking things off in the music industry as a solo artist while also training to be a chef.

He made his first big splash in the music world in 1976 ... when he founded the disco vocal group Boney M.

"Daddy Cool," "Rasputin," and "Mary's Boy Child" were just a few hits from the group comprised of Marcia Barrett, Liz Mitchell, Maizie Williams and Bobby Farrell.

His most dubious move, though, came in the late '80s ... Frank founded the R&B pop duo Milli Vanilli. He hired Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus as the eye candy, while he enlisted other performers to do the actual singing on hits like "Blame It On The Rain" and "Girl You Know It's True."

The group would actually win the Grammy for Best New Artist before the whole lip-synching sham came crashing down during a "live" performance. The Recording Academy took back their Grammy.

Frank also worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder and Meat Loaf ... and reportedly sold an estimated 800 million records worldwide.

Country singer Chris Young went out for a drink in Nashville and ended his night in jail after being arrested following an alleged incident with officials.

According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, Chris was drinking at the Tin Roof bar Monday night in midtown Nashville when agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission came in to check IDs and license cards ... and things spiraled from there.

The "Gettin' You Home" singer allegedly started questioning the agents after they checked his ID ... and officials say he started recording them and then followed them to the Dawg House, a bar next door where the TABC was doing a routine compliance check.

At the next bar, the officials claim Chris and a group of friends started talking to folks at the bar and the bartender while agents went to the back of the bar to check ABC cards.

The agents say they were walking to the door when Chris blocked their exit, putting his hands on one of the officers to stop the agent from leaving and striking the agent on the shoulder.

The officer says they pushed Chris away and then bar patrons rushed to get between Chris and the agents ... leading to lots of yelling and screaming. The agents say folks who were with Chris followed them out of the bar and made the situation "hostile."

In their report, the officers say Chris' "eyes were bloodshot and watery" and they say he was slurring his speech.

We're told Chris was arrested and booked on 3 charges ... disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on officer offensive contact ... all misdemeanors.

Selena Gomez is making significant strides in her body positivity journey ... embracing her physical changes throughout the years, while acknowledging there's no going back.

The actress posted an old photo of herself, in which she looks significantly different -- sharing a bikini snap to her IG Stories Monday from years earlier ... writing that she'd never look like that again. Hard to say if Selena sees that as good or bad, but she's pointing it out.

SG then shared a recent swimsuit snap of herself from behind -- and while she undeniably still looks great ... the star used it as a reminder to practice self-love. Selena says despite not being "perfect," it's OK to be herself ... and she's proud of being who she is.

Worth noting ... Selena has faced body-shamers in the past, so it's interesting she's speaking up on this.

In 2022, she famously said being skinny wasn't worth the hassle of denying yourself your favorite foods ... adding, "Bitch, I am perfect the way I am."

Selena Gomez está dando otro paso en su viaje personal con su cuerpo, abrazando sus cambios físicos a lo largo de los años y reconociendo que no hay vuelta atrás.

La actriz publicó una vieja foto suya, en la que se ve significativamente diferente. En sus IG stories, compartió una foto en bikini de años anteriores, escribiendo que nunca volvería a verse así de nuevo. Es difícil decir si Selena ve eso como algo bueno o malo, pero lo está señalando.

Luego compartió una reciente imagen en traje de baño, tomada desde atrás, y aunque innegablemente se ve muy bien, la estrella lo utilizó como un recordatorio para practicar el amor propio. Selena dice que a pesar de no ser "perfecta", está bien ser ella misma y está orgullosa de ser quien es.

Vale la pena señalar, que Selena se ha enfrentado a personas que la avergüenzan por su cuerpo en el pasado, por lo que es interesante que esté hablando sobre esto.

En 2022 dijo que no valía la pena privarse de sus comidas favoritas por ser delgada, añadiendo: "Bitch, soy perfecta como soy".

YFN Lucci is suddenly in the clear for the felony murder case he's been facing for nearly 3 years -- and, while he will be going to prison, his attorney believes it won't be for long.

On Tuesday morning, prosecutors dropped 12 of the 13 counts the rapper had been facing, including felony murder, for the death of James Adams ... who was killed during a shootout with a rival Atlanta gang back in December 2020.

Cops didn't suspect Lucci of pulling the trigger, but he was the driver of one of the vehicles involved in the shootout, and he eventually surrendered to cops in January 2021.

Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, pleaded guilty to one count of violating the street gang terrorism and prevention act ... and will have to do time for that. As part of the plea deal, he was hit with a 10-year sentence, plus 10 years probation.

He is getting credit for time served -- Lucci's been jailed awaiting his trial since the spring of 2021, when he violated his release on bond by going to a strip club.

However, his attorney Drew Findling believes his client will only be locked up for a few months. He tells TMZ, "As he has maintained for three years now, Mr. Bennett will NOT cooperate in any other case. By entering into this resolution, he will be eligible for parole in as early as four months from now. The prosecution has also agreed that he should be released early on parole and this will allow him to get back to his children, family and career."

Findling's math breaks down like this -- Lucci got 10 years, but he's eligible for parole after 40 months ... and since he's been locked up for about 36 months (that's the time served), he's predicting Lucci's release in 4 months, as long as he keeps his nose clean.

YFN Lucci tiene algo de claridad en su caso de asesinato y delito grave que ha estado enfrentando durante casi tres años, y a pesar de que va a pasar un tiempo en prisión, su abogado cree que no será por mucho tiempo.

El martes por la mañana, los fiscales retiraron 12 de los 13 cargos que el rapero estaba enfrentando, incluido el delito de asesinato por la muerte de James Adams, que fue asesinado durante un tiroteo con una banda rival de Atlanta en diciembre de 2020.

Los policías no sospechaban que Lucci haya apretado el gatillo, pero él era el conductor de uno de los vehículos implicados en el tiroteo, y finalmente se entregó a la policía en enero de 2021.

Lucci, cuyo verdadero nombre es Rayshawn Bennett, se declaró culpable de un cargo relacionado con el terrorismo de pandillas callejeras y la ley de prevención y tendrá que págar con algo de tiempo en prisión por esto. Como parte del acuerdo, se le impuso una condena de 10 años, más 10 años de libertad condicional.

Él está recibiendo crédito por el tiempo servid. Lucci ha sido encarcelado en espera de su juicio desde la primavera de 2021, cuando violó su libertad bajo fianza por ir a un club de striptease.

Sin embargo, su abogado Drew Findling cree que su cliente solo estará encerrado unos meses. Le dice a TMZ: "Como ha mantenido durante tres años, el Sr. Bennett no cooperará en ningún otro caso. Con esta resolución, podrá salir en libertad condicional dentro de cuatro meses. La fiscalía también ha acordado que debe ser puesto en libertad condicional anticipada y esto le permitirá volver a sus hijos, su familia y su carrera".

Las matemáticas de Findling se descomponen así - Lucci recibió 10 años, pero es elegible para la libertad condicional después de 40 meses, y ya que ha estado encerrado durante unos 36 meses, predice la liberación de Lucci en 4 meses, siempre y cuando mantenga su nariz limpia.

Rihanna and Natalie Portman are the duo we didn't know we needed ... until now, that is -- 'cause they came together in the most epic of ways, with mutual adoration for the other.

Check out this clip that's making the rounds ... you see RiRI fangirling hard after running into Natalie in Paris -- where she tells her she's the "hottest bitch in Hollywood." NP ain't shy about dishing out the compliments either ... 'cause she's clearly a fan of Rihanna as well.

Rihanna shamelessly makes it crystal clear she's well acquainted with ALL of Natalie's acting resume ... in particular, commending her abilities for pulling off the perfect innocent impression. Yeah, she's not kidding about being a fan -- you know she's seen her work.

Natalie, for her part, is pretty taken aback that RiRi is star-struck ... saying she may faint by all the love being poured on her. Like we said, she's certainly familiar with Rihanna too.

It's pretty funny to watch -- usually, Rihanna has a cool, calm, collected demeanor about herself in just about everything she does ... but here, she's like a kid in a candy store!

The exchange doesn't end there ... Rihanna asks someone to take a snap of them, to which they happily obliged. The two mega stars posed for a pic ... flashing big smiles.

Rihanna y Natalie Portman son el dúo que no sabíamos que necesitábamos hasta ahora. Ambas se reunieron, en la más épica de las formas, con una adoración mutua por la otra.

Echa un vistazo a este clip que está circulando por todas partes. En él se ve a Rihanna en modo súper fan después de encontrarse con Natalie en París, donde ella la llama la "bitch más caliente de Hollywood". Natalie Portman tampoco fue tímida a la hora de repartir cumplidos, porque es claramente una fan de Rihanna también.

Rihanna deja muy claro que conoce muy bien todo el currículum de Natalie, elogiando particularmente sus habilidades para lograr la perfecta impresión de inocencia. Sí, no está bromeando sobre ser una fan, es fácil darse cuenta que ha visto su trabajo.

Natalie, por su parte, le dice que podría desmayarse por todo el amor que vierten sobre ella. Como hemos dicho, también está ciertamente familiarizada con Rihanna.

Es bastante divertido de ver. Por lo general, Rihanna tiene una actitud fría, tranquila y serena en casi todo lo que hace, pero aquí es como una niña en una tienda de dulces.

El intercambio no termina ahí, Rihanna le pide a alguien que les tome una foto, a lo que ellas acceden encantadas. Las dos mega estrellas posaron juntas muy sonrientes.
