Taylor Swift is putting her romance with Travis Kelce into song ... reportedly writing a couple tracks about the guy on the Chiefs.

The pop star, famed for writing about her exes, has already written at least 2 songs about her current BF, and the lyrics focus on how she fell in love with him ... according to an Us Weekly report.

The outlet cites a source calling the new songs personal and special, but adds, that doesn't mean she's going to record and release them.

Taylor's got a new album coming out next month called "The Tortured Poets Department," but don't expect her odes to Trav on that project -- in fact, the report says she likely won't share them with anyone.

There's plenty of content for Taylor to write about with Travis -- his summer pursuit of her during the "Eras" tour, each of them appearing at NFL games and concerts and, of course, the Super Bowl and lots of private jet flights.

The speculation is Taylor's next project focuses more on her split from Joe Alywn than her love story with Travis ... so Swifties might not wanna hold their breath for Travis references.

Justin Bieber's celebrating his 30th birthday today -- but he probably wasn't expecting this gift ... a wax figure in his image and likeness, although people are asking ... is it really???

Madame Tussauds rolled out their latest creation Friday -- unveiling a new Bieber figurine just in time for him to celebrate the big 3-0 ...  and, per usual, folks are pretty divided on whether this actually looks like him or not.

Check it out ... Madame Tussauds says the artist modeled this wax Bieber after JB's look in his "Peaches" music video ... but some aren't really seeing the vision. On the other hand ... a good amount of people say this is actually a pretty decent rendition of the Biebs.

While the wax figure may have somewhat of a passing resemblance to JB ... a lot of the comments are saying there's something a little off about this version of Justin.

Some folks say the figure looks more like Brooklyn Beckham or Latin pop singer Miguel Pregueiro -- but hey, eye of the beholder on this type of stuff.

Of course, others are being a little meaner in the replies ... someone says it looks like "Justina Bieber" and another user says this "looks like Justin Bieber from China."

Frankly, there have been worse Justin Bieber wax figurines over his career -- this one just happens to be hitting the streets on a momentous day, which is why it's getting extra attention.

Lil Wayne and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently spoke out against their own botched wax figures, but no word on this one yet from the man himself. He's been laying low today.

Tish Cyrus and Dominic Purcell are battening down the hatches -- refusing to respond to man-stealing rumors involving Noah Cyrus -- but they're also not hiding from cameras.

The married couple was out for a stroll Friday in Toluca Lake, CA, keeping the vibe very casual ... Tish wore a grey hoodie, joggers and a trucker cap -- while the former "Prison Break" star opted for a navy tracksuit.

Tish and Dominic took in some fresh air with a pal ... perhaps attempting to clear their heads from the swirling drama that's come after a wild report this week.

If you missed it ... the story claims Tish swooped in and stole Dominic from her 24-year-old daughter Noah, following her split from Billy Ray Cyrus.

Tish reportedly began connecting with DP in his DMs while he was dating Noah -- and there was also a suggestion of possible overlap ... a period when he was dating both mom and daughter.

Noah hasn't addressed the whole saga ... and ditto for her mother and, dare we say it, stepdad. In the wake of the report, the rumor is this is why Noah skipped Tish and Dominic's wedding last August.

We've known that Tish is estranged from Noah, but now it also appears her other daughter, Miley Cyrus, is feuding with dad Billy Ray.

Justin Bieber tuvo un día muy especial el viernes... finalmente cumplió 30, y digamos que ha sido un largo y accidentado viaje para llegar a este número, y vale la pena mirar hacia atrás.

Ha sido un viaje salvaje para Bieber, que primero llamó la atención del super-manager Scooter Braun en 2008. Firmó con Braun y Usher no mucho después, pero, no antes de que tuvieran que superar la oferta de Justin Timberlake.

Desde entonces, la carrera musical de Bieber, ha despegado, con Justin ganando Grammys, embarcándose en giras mundiales y ganando millones durante los últimos 15 años más o menos. Por supuesto, su base de fans es enorme... con millones y millones de Beliebers.

Fuera de su carrera musical de gran éxito, Justin ha demostrado ser popular con las damas. Recordemos que fue vinculado a varias caras famosas los últimos años, incluyendo a Sofia Richie, Nicola Peltz, Kourtney Kardashian y, por supuesto, Selena Gómez.

Ninguna de esas relaciones duró, en parte debido a los problemas personales que Justin trató en la década siguiente. Los últimos años de la adolescencia y los primeros 20 de Justin estuvieron llenos de controversia y tumulto (quién puede olvidar el mono confiscado) que incluyó su notorio arresto por conducir ebrio en 2014.

Bieber luchó con problemas personales durante años, hasta que finalmente se volvió a Dios, mientras que también volvió con otra de sus famosas ex, Hailey Baldwin, que ahora es la señora Bieber.

Justin y Hailey se casaron en septiembre de 2018 luego de reencontrarse de manera fugaz. Han estado juntos desde entonces y son muy felices.

Más recientemente, Justin ha estado plagado de problemas de salud, incluyendo el síndrome de Ramsay Hunt que paralizó parte de su cara y lo obligó a cancelar su gira mundial "Justice". Él no ha actuado mucho desde 2022 y no hay ninguna señal de que vaya a pisar los escenarios pronto.

Recordemos que fue abordado la idea de unirse a Usher en el Super Bowl, pero al final no lo hizo, aunque sí asistió al juego.

Bieber optó por permanecer como espectador, pero siempre es bueno verlo. Él realmente visita la ciudad bastante seguido con Hailey estos días, pero no está hablando mucho con la prensa.

Sin embargo, sus fans lo adoran hasta el día de hoy. Obviamente, él es una gran estrella y este es su cumpleaños número 30. Es una locura pensar que hemos pasado todos estos años con él en el centro de atención pública.

Justin Bieber hit a big milestone on Friday -- he finally turned 30 ... and let's just say, it's been a long, eventful ride getting to this number, which is worth looking back on.

It's been a wild ride for the Biebs ... who first caught the attention of super-manager Scooter Braun back in 2008. He signed with Braun and Usher not long after ... but, not before they had to outbid Justin Timberlake.

Since then, Bieber's music career has obviously taken off ... with Justin winning Grammys, embarking on world tours and rolling in millions over the next 15 years or so. Of course, his fan base has absolutely ballooned as well ... with millions upon millions of Beliebers.

Outside of his wildly successful music career -- Justin has proven to be popular with the ladies ... remember JB was linked to several famous faces over the years ... including Sofia Richie, Nicola Peltz, Kourtney Kardashian and, of course, longtime GF Selena Gomez.

None of those relationships lasted ... partly because of personal troubles Justin dealt with over the next decade. Justin's late teens and early 20s were full of controversy and tumult (who can forget the confiscated monkey) which included his notorious 2014 DUI arrest.

Bieber fought with personal issues for years ... that is, until he finally cleaned up his act and turned to God, while also getting back together with another one of his famous exes -- Hailey Baldwin, who's now Mrs. Bieber.

Justin and Hailey married in September 2018 -- the end of a whirlwind rekindling that reportedly began just months before the two said their vows. They've been together ever since ... looking lovestruck every time they're spotted together, and tied at the hip.

More recently, Justin's been plagued by health issues ... including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which paralyzed part of his face and forced him to cancel his "Justice" world tour. He hasn't performed much since 2022 -- and there's no sign he's gonna hit the big stage again soon.

Remember, he'd been approached about performing with Usher at the Super Bowl Halftime Show -- but in the end, he passed on it ... even though he did attend the game itself.

Bieber chose to remain a spectator for that one, but it was still good to see him out and about. He actually hits the town a lot with Hailey these days ... but he ain't talking much.

And yet ... his fans absolutely adore him, to this day. For good reason obviously -- he's a star among stars, and then some -- and on his 30th birthday ... it's crazy to think we've spent all these years with him in the public spotlight.

Rihanna actuará este fin de semana en una lujosa fiesta pre-boda en la India para el hijo del hombre más rico de Asia y ya está en la ciudad y lleva una tonelada de equipaje.

Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes de principios de semana que supuestamente muestran una cinta transportadora llena de enormes maletines, unidades de almacenamiento y cajas. Es una locura... ¡Hay un montón de cosas!

La cantante ha sido contratada para actuar en una fiesta pre-boda para Anant Ambani -el hijo menor del multimillonario Mukesh Ambani- y Radhika Merchant, que están listos para casarse en julio, sin embargo, estarán celebrando antes de tiempo durante 3 días seguidos a partir del viernes en Gujarat, India.

Han invitado a innumerables famosos y magnates, y algunos ya han volado a la ciudad para celebrar con la pareja. Rihanna ha sido contratada como artista principal. Aunque sus honorarios se mantienen en secreto, puedes imaginar que es un buen bastante.

La familia Ambani es conocida por contratar a las estrellas más grandes del mundo para que actúen en sus fiestas: Beyoncé actuó en la ceremonia previa a la boda de Isha Ambani y Anand Piramal en 2018. Un año después, Chris Martin de Coldplay y The Chainsmokers subieron al escenario en la celebración preboda de Akash Ambani y Shloka Mehta, la cual tuvo lugar en Suiza. Ahora, tienen a RiRi, así que sí, van con todo.

Está claro que Mukesh vuelve a no reparar en gastos para celebrar la ampliación de su familia. Al parecer, el famoso mago David Blaine también ha sido contratado para actuar durante un fin de semana repleto de estrellas y probablemente sus servicios tampoco sean baratos.

El CEO de Meta y multimillonario Mark Zuckerberg y su esposa Priscilla Chan ya han dado un vistazo a las festividades, publicando en Instagram una foto vestidos de punta en blanco.

Ivanka Trump, por su parte, también fue vista entre los invitados, con otros asistentes, que incluyen a Bill Gates y el CEO de Google Sundar Pichai, y se espera que todos sigan un supuesto código de vestimenta de nueve páginas.

Ahora, antes de que te burles de este despliegue de riqueza, la pareja se ha asegurado de devolver a la comunidad, dando inicio a su fin de semana de amor con una cena comunitaria para 51.000 locales. Sí, literalmente, organizaron una comida masiva para decenas de miles de personas en su área. ¡Genial!

Rihanna is set to perform at a lavish pre-wedding event in India this weekend for the son of Asia's richest man ... and she's already in town, with a crap ton of luggage with her.

Check out this footage from earlier in the week that purports to show a conveyor belt full of massive briefcases, storage units and full-blown crates ... all of which are said to have been carrying her belongings. If true, that's pretty crazy ... this is a helluva lot of stuff!

The singer has been booked to perform at a pre-wedding party for Anant Ambani -- the youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani -- and Radhika Merchant, who are set to tie the knot in July ... but who are raging early for 3 days straight starting Friday in Gujarat, India.

Countless celebs and tycoons have been invited -- and a handful have already flown into town to celebrate with the couple. Rihanna has been hired as the main talent -- although her fee has been kept a secret. Ya gotta figure it's quite a bundle ... 'cause she agreed to do it.

The Ambani family is known for hiring the world's biggest stars to perform at their parties -- Beyoncé notably performed at the 2018 pre-wedding ceremony for Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. A year later ... Coldplay's Chris Martin and The Chainsmokers took the stage at Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta's pre-wedding celebration -- which took place in Switzerland. Now, they got RiRi on the lineup ... so yeah, they go all out for their own.

It's clear that Mukesh is once again sparing no expense to celebrate the expansion of his family. Famed magician David Blaine has reportedly also been booked to perform throughout the star-studded weekend ... and his services probably don't come cheap either.

Meta CEO and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan have already given a glimpse at the festivities -- posting on Instagram a photo of themselves dressed to the nines.

Ivanka Trump, meanwhile, was also spotted among the guests, with other reported attendees including Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai -- who are all expected to follow an alleged nine-page dress code.

Now before you scoff at this display of wealth ... the couple has made sure to give back to the community -- kicking off their loved-up weekend with a communal dinner for 51,000 locals. Yes, they literally hosted a massive meal for tens of thousands of people in their area. Wild!

Missy Elliott is putting a stop to any potential rift between Cardi B and BIA after both rap stars sampled one of her classics ... saying they're both free to use it, without issue.

Cardi put her 2024 comeback into first gear on Friday with the release of her "Like What (Freestyle)" vid ... directed by her hubby Offset.

The beat rides Missy's 1999 hit "She's a Bitch" ... which just so happened to be the same template for BIA's 2023 single "I’m That Bitch."

BIA defended her own credibility in a suspicious post on X as Cardi was teasing her track ... "BIA THIS… BIA THAT BIA KNOW HOW TO F***** RAP."

The Rock Hall-bound Missy cosigned a comment that commended both artists for using her with a heart hands emoji ... basically a cease-fire for weirdo fans looking to start beef.

None of this probably would've happened if had they taken the advice from 1500 or Nothin's Larrance Dopson -- remember, the Grammy Award-winner told us last year that low-hanging fruit samples are ruining rap music.

Joe Jonas has moved on from Sophie Turner ... hopping on a yacht with Stormi Bree, and yeah -- they 100% look like a couple now, in case it wasn't already obvious.

The JoBro singer enjoyed a day on the water in Sydney Harbour -- yes, he's in Australia right now with his brothers -- with the model/ex-Miss Teen USA winner ... swimming, stand-up paddleboarding and even enjoying a few beverages onboard.

Joe and Stormi have been spending a bunch of time together ever since he and Sophie divorced. It's easy to see why Joe's into Stormi ... just check out her bikini bod -- it's rockin'!.

While Joe and Stormi enjoyed some quality time together on their paddleboard, this was actually a group outing. Also onboard the yacht ... Nick Jonas and a few other party people.

Stormi's body isn't the only thing that's smoking, BTW... Joe's also lighting one up, puffing away on the deck.

Joe and Stormi got the full Sydney experience -- the yacht took them past two famous landmarks ... the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, which they documented on social media.

The rumored couple -- who, frankly, are probably/most definitely dating -- is Down Under as the Jonas Brothers continue on their tour in Australia ... making this their third trip together in as many months.

We've previously seen Joe and Sophie hanging out in Los Cabos and going skiing in Aspen. They've also been spotted hobnobbing in other cities -- they're hanging out a ton these days.

Remember ... Joe and Sophie are sharing custody of their kids, and we usually see Joe with Stormi when it's Sophie's turn to parent. Of course, they're in the middle of a divorce too.

Speaking of Sophie ... she's moved on herself, coupling up with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.

TMZ Sports has obtained video of the confrontation Lil Wayne had with a Lakers security guard on Thursday night ... and you can see he was so upset over the interaction, he bolted from the game immediately.

In the clip, Wayne -- wearing a cream-colored hoodie, black cap and headphones -- can be seen trying to get to his courtside seat with a few friends ... when, suddenly, several Crypto.com Arena officials seem to tell him to stop.

One man in a grey polo with a walkie-talkie clipped to the collar then appears to have words with the "How To Love" crooner ... seemingly gesturing to him that he needs to get to his chair via a different route.

Wayne's clearly pissed over the chat ... check out the vid, he throws up his hands in a "Come on!" motion -- before he then just jets out of the building.

One witness who was just a few yards from the scene, MaxMarketPros' Joseph Stirling, says it all happened in the second quarter of the game ... after Wayne seemed to have some troubles finding his seat. Stirling added that following the incident, he didn't see Wayne the rest of the night.

At first, Wayne wrote on his X page that he was "treated like s***" ... although during a Friday morning appearance on Fox Sports 1's "Undisputed," he seemed to relent that it was all just a big misunderstanding.

"They was just doing their job," the rapper said.

But, he did add that he felt like the encounter was "a little much."

"So," he said, "I was like, let's just leave."

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Bianca Censori's father, Leo Censori, believes Kanye West is tearing her away from her family and wants to confront him about her "trashy" nudity.

Hailey Bieber is reportedly "pissed" at her dad Stephen Baldwin for asking the public for prayer over her and Justin Bieber's marriage. Speaking of Hailey ... her sister, Alaia Baldwin Aronow, was arrested for assault and battery after she allegedly threw a used tampon at staff in a Georgia bar.

Rachel Leviss has filed a lawsuit against Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, alleging a number of accusations, including revenge porn.

Plus, Geri Halliwell flew in to Bahrain reunite with her husband Christian Horner amid the leaked texts scandal.

Beyoncé sabe cómo mantenernos expectantes con su single country, "Texas Hold 'Em" ya en lo más alto de las listas de éxitos, los fans están convencidos de que se está preparando para atacar otro género musical.

La especulación comenzó con Beyoncé apareciendo en un teaser para su próxima sesión con CR Fashion Book -mientras promocionaba su nueva línea de cuidado del cabello Cécred- y los fans lo están tomando como una señal de que la cantante está lista para cantar algunos himnos de rock para "Act III", incluso antes de que salga el álbum de temática country "Act II".

Los fans de Bey están entusiasmados con su posible reinvención... algunos declaran que están listos para soltarse y experimentar su primer concierto de rock, todo gracias a Queen B.

Otros incluso la han bautizado con el pegadizo apodo de "Rockyoncé". Eso sí que suena bien.

Por supuesto, con toda la emoción en el aire, es fácil pasar por alto el hecho de que ella podría estar usando este nuevo look para promover su nueva línea de cuidado del cabello.

De hecho, ella dice en la publicación que siempre quiso un corte asimétrico creciendo en los años 90, pero su madre no se lo permitió, así que estaba muy feliz de poder hacerlo ahora.

No hace falta decir que la Diva es muy respetada y probablemente este drástico cambio de dirección está destinado al triunfo.

Aún faltan unas semanas para el lanzamiento de IYDK, Act II, pero "Texas Hold 'Em" ya ha alcanzado el número 1 en la lista Hot Country de Billboard, y se ha ganado los elogios de la mismísima Dolly Parton, icono del country. ¡A lo grande!

10:10 AM -- Karol G is giving an update on this morning's plane incident on her IG story ... thanking everyone who was worried, and says she's okay along with her family and team -- while also stating God blesses us with life and health.

Karol G had a super scary experience Thursday as her private plane filled with smoke midflight and was forced to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles.

The Grammy-winning singer was among 16 others on the private jet, which took off from Hollywood Burbank Airport in the evening, according to ABC News.

The aircraft flew east for a while, but then turned around at Cajon Pass about 70 miles away and flew back to nearby Van Nuys Airport after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.

Luckily, the plane safely landed on the runway and everyone on board seemed physically uninjured. Footage shows the aircraft touching down on the tarmac, as well as the dramatic aftermath.

Per the video ... Fire crews responded to the runway, directing the jet to a parking area. The passengers left through the exit door, climbing down a flight of stairs -- including a woman who appeared to be Karol, talking on her cell phone.

Karol's famous arm tattoo of a barbed-wire heart was also emblazoned on the side of the plane.

We've reached out to Karol and the Federal Aviation Administration for comment ... so far, no word back.

Beyoncé sure knows how to keep us on our toes ... with her country single, "Texas Hold 'Em" already topping charts, fans are now convinced she's gearing up to attack yet another musical genre.

The speculation kickstarted with Beyoncé rocking a mullet in a teaser for her upcoming shoot with CR Fashion Book -- while promoting her new haircare line Cécred, and fans are taking it as a sign the singer's ready to belt out some rock anthems for "Act III" -- even before the country-themed "Act II" album drops.

The Beyhive is buzzing with excitement over her potential rock era ... some declaring they're ready to let loose and experience their very first rock concert, all thanks to Queen B.

Others even bestowed the catchy new moniker "Rockyoncé" upon her. Now that's got a ring to it!

Of course, with all the excitement in the air, it's easy to overlook the fact she might just be wearing the edgy mullet to promote her new haircare line.

In fact, she even tells the publication she always wanted an asymmetrical cut growing up in the '90s, but her mom wouldn't let her ... so she was having the time of her life finally rocking it during the shoot.

But it goes without saying ... if the success of Beyoncé's foray into country is anything to go by, then her pivot into the rock genre is destined to be a triumph, too.

IYDK, Act II's release is still a few weeks away, but "Texas Hold 'Em" already hit #1 on Billboard's Hot Country -- and has won praise from country icon Dolly Parton herself. Major!

Looks like Beyoncé's got her cowboy hats and boots on lock for now, but her fans are ready to dive into a mosh pit for her if rock really is next.

9:10 AM -- Lil Wayne joined FS1's "Undisputed" with Skip Bayless on Friday to address his beef with the team ... chalking it all up to an issue with security.

"They was just doing their job," the rap icon said ... explaining as he was attempting to make his way to his courtside seat, a staffer stopped his crew in their tracks and told them to enter from another part of the arena.

But when they got to the second entrance, Weezy noticed they would have had to ask other spectators to get up from their spots to allow his group through to their seats ... and he didn't want to bother them, so he walked back to the original entry.

When he got back there, Wayne said the same staffer got upset ... saying, "I told you guys to go to the other entrance!" -- which he felt was a bit out of line.

Wayne also said he was told after the fact that the issue was that he'd have to wait for a dead ball to get to his seat -- but that wasn't relayed to him.

Tunechi -- who admitted he was only at the game as part of a brand deal -- said the experience left a bad taste in his mouth ... and he'll only go back to Crypto because his son is a diehard Laker fan.

Lil Wayne says he was "treated like s***" at the Lakers game on Thursday night ... and he's so pissed over what went down, it seems he's ready to cut ties with his beloved squad.

It's not quite clear exactly what happened with Weezy as he made his way to Crypto.Com Arena to watch LA battle with the Washington Wizards ... but just 90-or-so minutes after the game tipped off, he took to X to criticize the Purple and Gold.

"Wow!" he wrote. "Got treated like s*** at the Laker game just now."

Wayne didn't get into specifics ... but he suspected it all had to do with some previous comments he's made about one of the team's superstars, Anthony Davis.

If you're unfamiliar ... Wayne, who's always spotted in courtside seats at Lakers games, makes regular appearances on Fox Sports 1's "Undisputed," and when the topic turns to LA hoops, he's often critical of Davis. In fact, during a November episode, he said the team should straight up trade the nine-time All-Star.

In his post on X, Wayne wrote, "I figured they’d do me that sooner or later" "bc of what i said abt AD," but he added that he's gotten an uneasy feeling from the team for a while now -- which apparently has him questioning his fandom going forward.

"All good I get it," he said. "F*** em. It isn’t what it isn’t. I’m used to it."

Neither he nor the Lakers addressed the matter further as of Friday morning.

It seems a bunch of other celebs, though, had no issues attending the game ... Flea, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Corey Gamble, Jay Mohr and even Chevy Chase were all spotted near courtside with grins on their faces.

Everyone there got to enjoy quite the game too -- as LeBron James and Davis combined to score 71 points in a 134-131 overtime win.

Karol G tuvo una experiencia súper aterradora el jueves cuando su avión privado se llenó de humo en pleno vuelo y se vio obligada a realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia en Los Ángeles.

La cantante ganadora de un Grammy estaba junto a otras 16 personas en el jet privado, que despegó del aeropuerto de Hollywood Burbank por la noche, según ABC News.

La aeronave voló hacia el este durante un tiempo, pero luego dio la vuelta en Cajon Pass a unas 70 millas de distancia y voló de regreso al cercano aeropuerto de Van Nuys después de que el piloto informara de que había humo en la cabina.

Afortunadamente, el avión aterrizó sin problemas en la pista y todos los ocupantes parecían físicamente ilesos. Las imágenes muestran el aterrizaje de la aeronave en la pista, así como las dramáticas secuelas.

Los bomberos actuaron rápido, dirigiendo el jet a una zona de aparcamiento. Los pasajeros salieron por la puerta de salida, bajando por las escaleras, incluyendo a una mujer que parecía ser Karol, hablando por su teléfono celular.

El famoso tatuaje del brazo de Karol de un corazón de alambre de púas estaba estampado en el avión.
