Algunas poderosas celebridades están siendo el centro de atención como las nuevas muñecas "Role Model" de Barbie y justo a tiempo para conmemorar el Día Internacional de la Mujer este 8 de marzo y el cumpleaños 65 de Barbie el 9 de marzo.

Desde la ganadora del EGOT Viola Davis, cuya inclusión dice mucho por sí sola, hasta la icónica ganadora de 5 Grammy Shania Twain, esta serie de muñecas es como un dream team de mujeres honradas por Mattel, quienes dicen que lo están haciendo para presentarle "a las niñas historias de mujeres notables para mostrarles que puedes ser lo que quieras".

Shania incluso compartió una foto posando con su muñeca Barbie, única en su especie, ataviada con su clásico atuendo de "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" y en el pie de foto decía que se sentía honrada de seguir difundiendo el amor y el empoderamiento.

Kylie Minogue también estaba encantada con su nueva muñeca Barbie, peinada a la perfección y de rojo, al igual que su icónico video musical "Padam Padam". La cantante admitió que no podía creer que estaba siendo celebrada de una manera tan icónica.

La ganadora del Oscar Helen Mirren también fue inmortalizada con una muñeca, después de sumergirse en el universo Barbie con una aparición en el éxito de taquilla del año pasado junto a Margot Robbie.

Mattel también está honrando a otras 4 mujeres notables de todo el mundo, incluyendo la directora mexicana Lila Avilés, la creadora de contenido brasileña Maira Gómez, la modelo japonesa Nicole Fujita y la comediante iraní-alemana Enissa Amani.

Camila Cabello is spilling all about her brief reconciliation with Shawn Mendes -- including what caused their final split ... and the gist of it is, they just weren't right for each other.

The singer went on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" -- where she revealed that her reunion with Shawn ended as quickly as it began. Apparently ... she and SM realized that -- despite their hot make-out sesh at 2023's Coachella -- they weren't as good a fit as they thought.

Camila said she jumped into things again with him on an impulse -- but soon, she says they both realized it wasn't working and that they didn't need to force the relationship. CC recalled deciding just to be friends with Shawn ... saying she and SM ended on good terms.

The two pop stars previously dated between 2019 and 2021 -- before giving it another go ... which included a date night to Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour in May.

Doesn't sound like Camila regrets the rekindled romance ... calling it a "fun moment."

The fun didn't stop there for Camila, BTW ... who was spotted on vacation with Drake in Turks and Caicos this past December. However, Camila clarified that it wasn't all good times and games -- it was a work trip, too ... labeling it a "friends vacation."

Unfortunately, the singer stayed tight-lipped on whether she and Drizzy did more than make music. But, she did notably share ... "I will say I love him."

Shawn, for his part, has also moved on from Camila -- having been linked to British presenter Charlie Travers last fall. Remember, Shawn and Charlie were spotted enjoying a beach day in their underwear after linking up in West Hollywood in November.

Some powerhouse celebrities are stepping into the spotlight as Barbie's newest role model dolls ... just in time for International Women's Day on March 8 and Barbie's 65th birthday on March 9.

From EGOT recipient Viola Davis, whose inclusion speaks volumes on its own, to the iconic 5-time Grammy winner Shania Twain, it's like a dream team of women being honored by Mattel ... which says it's making the dolls to introduce "girls to remarkable women's stories to show them you can be anything."

Shania even shared a snap of her posing with her one-of-a-kind Barbie doll, decked out in her classic "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" attire -- gushing in the caption she was honored to continue spreading love and empowerment.

Kylie Minogue was also over the moon about her new Barbie doll, styled to perfection in red, just like her iconic "Padam Padam" music video ... admitting she couldn't believe she was being celebrated in such an iconic way.

Oscar-winning legend Helen Mirren is also immortalized with a doll ... after dipping her toes in the Barbie universe by narrating last year's box-office smash featuring Margot Robbie.

Mattel's also spreading the love worldwide ... they're honoring 4 other remarkable women from around the globe including Mexican director Lila Avilés, Brazilian content creator Maira Gomez, Japanese model Nicole Fujita and Iranian-German comedian Enissa Amani.

Damon Dash recently took a break from bashing Jay-Z to focus on his post-Roc-A-Fella Records days when he wanted to lead the next generation of rap stars into independence ... but claims they abandoned him for the major label machine.

Those stars grew up to become Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y and Stalley --  who all got a scolding from DD in a recent podcast with Math Hoffa ... where he came off like a disappointed dad in the aftermath of all three of them signing to Atlantic Records, which Dame claims happened behind his back.

TMZ Hip Hop actually caught up with Stalley, who tells us Dame's recollection of events is without merit ... saying they never signed any legally binding paperwork. He even had to pay his own way to be part of the music video shoots.

Stalley appeared on several tracks for Dame's DD172 label -- including his self-titled "S.T.A.L.L.E.Y." track -- and tells us he can't understand why Dame can't pronounce his name correctly. Dame does kinda butcher it a bit in the vid.

Dame framed Stalley as "grumpy" -- and cited a run-in at the airport years ago where he says Stalley expressed regret for taking the Atlantic deal.

Stalley denies telling Dame he regretted anything at the airport ... and says there was frustration more than anything, but is certain that he and Dame had the least interactions of everyone present.

Travis Kelce is going back overseas to see Taylor Swift perform in concert again -- only this time, he's flying to Asia to catch her ... and it looks like his personal team is tagging along.

The Chiefs tight end is all set to head to Singapore to see her perform while she's still in town -- her shows run from Thursday through the weekend. After that, she's got a nice long break before the "Eras" tour kicks up again in May ... at which point, she'll be hitting up Europe.

For now ... Travis will join her where she's been for about a week now -- as confirmed by TK's manager, André Eanes, who's apparently also going to Singapore to see Taylor too.

A coach named Eric Flannery posted a photo of himself hobnobbing with Travis' manager at the Cavs game, and wrote ... "Great catching up with @dreeanes at the Cavs game tonight. Former @SEHS_BASKETBALL player and now the Kelce’s manager, doing a great job!! Heading out to Taylor Swift concert tomorrow in Singapore-safe travels!!"

So, yeah ... sounds like Travis will be en route to Singapore here in a bit -- but it remains to be seen when exactly he'll arrive ... and if he and Taylor will have any time to themselves.

Like we said, she's got a show scheduled for Thursday night ... so if he's flying today, he might be cutting it close. In any case, he'll likely catch one of her upcoming shows.

The last time Travis was with Taylor was a couple weeks ago when he was in Sydney for a brief visit -- where they hit up the zoo together on a romantic date ... not to mention him crashing one of her concerts as well, which ended with a nice public smooch post-show.

Travis was only there for a couple days or so before he jetted on back to Vegas to continue partying with his Chiefs teammates to celebrate their Super Bowl Victory ... yes, again.

After that, Trav was here in L.A. for a bit playing some golf and hanging with friends -- and before long ... he was out in Philadelphia to help his brother, Jason, ring in some big news.

As we reported ... JK announced he was retiring from the NFL, and it proved to be an emotional moment -- with Jason tearing up at the podium, and even Travis himself crying.

Following, Jason's retirement presser ... the two Kelce brothers hit up their hometown of Cleveland for a Cavaliers game -- and they had the red carpet rolled out for them there too.

Now, Travis is reuniting with his girlfriend ... safe to say, he's a busy man these days -- perhaps even more so than he was during the season. Makes sense ... with him dating Taylor, he's arguably more popular than ever -- and he's obviously very much so in demand.

Soon, we'll have some new visuals of him and Tay Tay ... and yeah, we all need our fix. It's been a minute!

Travis Kelce se está subiendo nuevamente a un avión para ver a Taylor Swift, solo que esta vez está volando a Asia y parece que su equipo personal lo está acompañando.

El jugador de los Chiefs viajará a Singapur para estar con la estrella del pop mientras ella esté en la ciudad. Taylor tiene shows programados desde el jueves hasta el fin de semana. Después de eso, tendrá un largo descanso antes de que la gira "Eras" comience de nuevo en mayo, momento en el que se dirigirá a Europa.

Taylor lleva una semana en Singapur y Travis se unirá a ella, según ha confirmado su mánager, André Eanes, que al parecer también viajará con él.

Un entrenador llamado Eric Flannery publicó una foto suya con el mánager de Travis en el partido de los Cavs y escribió: "Genial ponerse al día con @dreeanes en el partido de los Cavs esta noche. Ex jugador de @SEHS_BASKETBALL y ahora mánager de Kelce, ¡¡está haciendo un gran trabajo! Se dirige al concierto de Taylor Swift mañana en Singapur ¡¡que tengan un buen viaje!!!"

Así que, sí, parece que Travis está de camino a Singapur, pero queda por saber cuándo llegará exactamente y si tendrá algún tiempo a solas con Taylor.

Como les contamos, ella tiene un show el jueves en la noche, así que si vuela hoy, puede que no llegue a tiempo. En cualquier caso, estará ahí para el resto de sus shows.

La última vez que Travis estuvo con Taylor fue hace un par de semanas cuando viajó a Sydney para una breve visita. Fueron al zoológico en una cita romántica, por no hablar de su presencia en uno de sus conciertos, que terminó con un buen beso después del show.

Travis solo estuvo allí un par de días antes de volar de nuevo a Las Vegas para continuar de fiesta con sus compañeros de los Chiefs por su victoria en el Super Bowl.

Después de eso, Trav estuvo aquí en Los Ángeles jugando golf y pasando el rato con sus amigos, y luego estuvo en Filadelfia ayudando a su hermano Jason con una gran noticia.

Como informamos, Jason Kelce anunció que se retiraba de la NFL y resultó ser un momento muy emotivo. Jason se emocionó en el podio e incluso el propio Travis lloró también.

Después de la rueda de prensa sobre la jubilación de Jason, los dos hermanos Kelce fueron a su ciudad natal de Cleveland para un partido de los Cavaliers, y tenían la alfombra roja desplegada para ellos.

Ahora Travis se está reuniendo con su novia. Es seguro decir que es un hombre ocupado por estos días, tal vez incluso más que durante la temporada. Tiene sentido, con él saliendo con Taylor, es posiblemente más popular que nunca y obviamente, muy demandado.

La hija de Madonna, Lourdes Leon, definitivamente se parece a su madre en cuanto a lo atrevida, pues dejó poco a la imaginación en su paso por la Semana de la Moda de París.

El lunes, Lourdes llevó un body de encaje transparente en el desfile de Yves Saint Laurent Menswear por el que se podía vislumbrar parte de su pecho desnudo.

Como se puede ver, ella tiene muchísima confianza, pero sí se arropó con una tanga negra y un estratégico abrigo para mantener las cosas lo suficientemente misteriosas

Por muy atrevido que sea el atuendo, Lourdes conocía sus límites, de ahí a que mantuviera el abrigo alrededor de su zona íntima para evitar exponer la otra mitad de su cuerpo.

Lourdes estaba totalmente empoderada, se veía extraordinaria posando su atuendo, que completó con algunas sombras y sus mechones negros brillantes a los lados.

Con una madre como Madonna, que ha estado marcando tendencias desde siempre, está claro que Lourdes no tiene miedo de ir más allá con su estilo. Y sí, incluso pareciera que encarna un poco a su madre aquí.

Madonna's daughter, Lourdes Leon, definitely takes after her mom in the brash department ... leaving little to the imagination while strutting around at Paris Fashion Week.

LL's naked chest poked through a sheer lace bodysuit at the Yves Saint Laurent Menswear F/W show Monday.

As you can see, she's got next-level confidence ... but props to the black thong and strategic coat placement for keeping things just mysterious enough.

As daring as this getup is, Lourdes knew her limits -- hence, her holding down her coat in position around her intimate area to avoid exposing the other half of her naked body.

Lourdes was totally owning it -- she looked fierce posing away in the look, which she completed with some shades and glossy black locks cascading down one side.

With a mom like Madonna, who's been setting trends forever, LL's clearly not afraid to push the envelope with her style. And yes ... she even embodies her mom a bit here.

Hollywood once again is emptying its collective pockets this election season -- donating generously to the campaigns of several Democrats vying for a highly coveted U.S. Senate seat.

TMZ combed through the Federal Election Commission filings and found that most of Tinseltown's elite kicked their financial support toward the campaigns of Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee and Katie Porter ... who are facing off for the chance to fill the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat.

Former MLB star Steve Garvey, who's running as a Republican, seemingly got no donations from people identifying with the FEC as an actor, musician or athlete. With that said, polls have him doing pretty damn well.

This cannot be said for Dems in the primary race. We should note ... this might not be a complete snapshot of donations, and some of the celebs may have donated more than the number listed.

For Schiff:
- Robin Dearden ($6600)
- Herb Alpert (at least $3,300)
- Barbra Streisand ($1500)
- Holland Taylor ($1,000)
- George Takei ($750)
- Lily Tomlin ($350)
- Jackson Browne ($400)
- Joan Jett ($275)
- Diane Lane ($235)

As for Barbara Lee ... Ben Affleck seems pretty passionate about her candidacy, as he dropped thousands on her run -- and even his daughter, Violet, shelled out a pretty penny too.

For Lee:
- Ben Affleck (at least $6,600)
- Violet Affleck ($3,050)
- Jackson Browne (at least $3,300)
- Graham Nash ($2,500)
- Kal Penn ($500)

For Porter:
- Graham Nash ($3,300)
- Bonnie Raitt ($2,000)
- Susan Sarandon ($500)
- George Takei ($500)

Several celebrities double-dipped ... with George Takei donating for both Porter and Schiff. Similarly, Graham Nash dropped some dough for Porter and Lee. Jackson Browne made sure to contribute to both Schiff and Lee's campaigns.

Some celebs are doing more than donating money ... some are lending support on social media -- like John Legend, who publicly endorsed Lee,

In fact, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is even narrating an ad that's running for Schiff.

Kanye West had a bit of opposition in clearing samples for the "Vultures 1" album -- but none of the pushback came from Juvenile's end ... in fact, he was happy to sign off.

The Cash Money Records legend tells TMZ Hip Hop that he was honored to be a part of the same project Ozzy Osbourne openly boycotted ... if you didn't know, Ye sampled his classic tune "Back Dat Azz Up" for the song "Do It" -- and the rest is Billboard history!!!

Of course, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne both ripped Ye to smithereens over him trying to use Black Sabbath music ... but Juve tells us unlike Ozzy -- who blocked Kanye from using his group's "War Pigs" track -- he feels Kanye is a good dude and fondly remembers Ye supporting his indie efforts with his "Nolia Clap" guys Wacko and Skip.

As a result ... giving the green light on "BDAU" was a no-brainer, from his POV.

The booty-shakin' anthem was the marquee single on Juve's breakout album, "400 Degreez" -- and it's still a fan favorite 25 years later, with Juve celebrating the anniversary with a digital deluxe rollout featuring 2 new tracks he and producer Mannie Fresh collaborated on and colored double LP vinyl set.

The surprises don't stop there either ... Juve says he'll be shooting a music video for the "400 Degreez" title track, which he says is his absolute fave song on the album!!!

The music has aged nicely -- and fans can NOW expect to see Juve on the super-star-studded Lovers & Friends Festival stage after the NOLA rapper did a bit of ripping of his own in the promoter's direction.

Juve tells us he caught them denying that his name was on the flyer in an alleged effort to prevent them from paying him ... but all the contract wrinkles have since been ironed out.

El hijo de Travis Barker, Landon, está hablando abiertamente sobre su vida con el síndrome de Tourette, algo que nadie parecía saber hasta ahora.

El influencer de 20 años compartió su viaje este lunes, después de que un fan en TikTok especulara que podría tener el trastorno. En el video que compartimos más arriba, Landon detalló que tiene un leve caso de Tourette, que fue diagnosticado cuando era un niño.

Landon recordó cuando experimentó el síndrome de Tourette por primera vez en preescolar, después de que una profesora lo acusara de poner los ojos en blanco en frente de ella. El hijo de Travis, que comparte con Shanna Moakler, explicó que la mirada en blanco fue finalmente diagnosticada como un tic, un síntoma de la condición neurológica.

Luego describió otros tics, que incluyen sacudir la cabeza de un lado para otro y mover la mandíbula repetidamente, cosas que hace cuando está nervioso o ansioso.

Sobre por qué decidió compartir su diagnóstico ahora, Landon dijo que solo tenía ganas de compartir su verdad y desde entonces los fans lo han aplaudido por su franqueza.

Landon ha estado abriéndose mucho sobre su vida personal en las últimas semanas, después de haber confirmado la separación de la TikToker Charli D'Amelio en febrero.

En ese momento, Landon le dijo a los fans que él y Charli se separaron en buenos términos y que se estaban tomando un tiempo para centrarse en sí mismos.

Nigel Lythgoe está mostrando una serie de correos electrónicos y mensajes de Paula Abdul que según él demuestran que tenían una relación muy amistosa y cariñosa durante años posteriores a una supuesta agresión sexual.

En los documentos legales presentados el martes, queda claro que Nigel está tomando una postura combativa contra su ex amiga y compañera de trabajo en "American Idol" y "So You Think You Can Dance", llamándola una "fabulista bien documentada, con una larga historia de contar historias salvajes que están desvinculadas de la realidad y están diseñadas principalmente para atraer la atención y hacer que Abdul parezca ser la víctima de una terrible desgracia".

La mordaz respuesta incluye varios correos electrónicos privados que Lythgoe dice que Abdul le envió, llenos de lenguaje florido, amable y "adulador". Por ejemplo, un correo electrónico del 12 de septiembre de 2014 dice: "Hola cariño... gracias por este precioso 'regalo'. Por favor, perdóname por no haberte llamado ayer. ¡Siempre agradecida de tenerte en mi vida! Te quiero, te quiero, ¡TE QUIERO! XO P."

Otro correo del 20 de junio de 2014, dice: "Gracias por las hermosas flores, ¡estaban exquisitas! Pero, tengo que decir que lo mejor fue la tarjeta de cumpleaños de anoche. ¡Todavía estoy aullando! Aprecio de verdad nuestra amistad y estoy deseando lanzar nuestro proyecto".

La presentación de Lythgoe también incluye páginas de los tuits públicos de Paula en su cuenta @dizzyfeet, a partir de 2009 y continuando hasta 2015, cuando ambos estaban trabajando en "SYTYCD". Muchos de ellos incluyen fotos de ellos juntos y mensajes como: "Usted sabe que la tripulación te ama, también!!!! :)) xoxoP", y en un tuit de Acción de Gracias, ella escribió: "¡Yo también estoy agradecida de haberte conocido, Nigel! ¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias! xoxoP".

TMZ publicó la historia, Abdul presentó una demanda contra Nigel y FremantleMedia North America (productores de "Idol" y "SYTYCD") en diciembre, alegando que la había agredido sexualmente dos veces: la primera vez en "una de las temporadas iniciales de Idol" (que sería a principios de la década de 2000), y la segunda, en algún momento no especificado durante sus dos temporadas como juez de "SYTYCD". Ella comenzó a trabajar ahí en 2015.

Según los nuevos documentos, las páginas de correos electrónicos, mensajes y tuits "muestran cómo Abdul realmente se sentía acerca de Lythgoe durante y después del momento en el que supuestamente ocurrió el abuso".

Lythgoe más intentos de impugnar el carácter de Abdul, alegando que abogó por ella para ser contratado en "Idol" y "SYTYCD", "a pesar de la oposición de otros ejecutivos debido al ya conocido comportamiento errático de Abdul".

También afirma que sus problemas de abuso de sustancias eran un tema frecuente para los ejecutivos de "Idol", afirmando: "En su peor momento, Abdul arrastraba las palabras, era ininteligible, babeaba y se desmayaba en las salas de audición, teniendo que ser sacada en dos ocasiones distintas".

Lythgoe toma otro golpe importante en Paula, diciendo que su "credibilidad se ha puesto en duda en un tema serio" a saber, el accidente de avión que dice que sobrevivió en 1992.

En los documentos, Lythgoe dice: "No hay constancia alguna del supuesto accidente aéreo". En una entrevista, Abdul explicó que pudo mantener la historia en secreto con acuerdos de confidencialidad y porque "no había Internet en aquella época". En otra entrevista, explicó que en el momento del accidente 'no había ordenadores'".

Como informamos, Nigel desestimó sus acusaciones contra él como "falsa y profundamente ofensivo" el día después de que ella presentó su demanda ... y él es, de nuevo, negando rotundamente las acusaciones en los documentos.

Él está pidiendo al tribunal que desestime la demanda de Paula, y él quiere que ella cubra sus honorarios de abogado.

Chrisean Rock has no plans to turn herself in over a warrant out for her arrest in Oklahoma -- saying she's got no time for jail ... as she has a son to raise.

In a new IG Live session with her fans, Chrisean addressed the open bench warrant from the Oklahoma Dept. of Corrections ... which says she's wanted in connection to an incident from 2022 there, including drug and traffic charges.

It's been known for a while that Chrisean has this little situation outstanding there halfway across the country -- remember, she's living in L.A. right now while Blueface is in jail -- and now ... she's addressing it on camera ... saying she's working on getting it resolved.

In terms of why she says she doesn't wanna just surrender and do her time ... well, Chrisean says she's got a baby now -- and she simply doesn't wanna be away from him/behind bars.

Sounds like she's not really sweating it either ... Chrisean says it's worked out for her so far.

BTW ... this isn't the only legal woe of Chrisean's -- remember, she's being sued for allegedly assaulting a dancer for Tamar Braxton here in L.A. ... who claim she battered him backstage.

Tyreek Hill has a bone to pick with Rick Ross ... claiming the rap superstar should've given him a call instead of posting his burning house all over social media.

Rozay -- who lives right across the street from the Miami Dolphins receiver -- documented the smoky scene from his yard on Jan. 3 ... providing his millions of followers with commentary and speculating the blaze was sparked by an electrical problem.

Hill was less than thrilled by Ross' reaction ... 'cause when speaking about the accident on "The Pivot," he admitted he felt the musician should've blown up his phone.

"First off, I just wanna say, Rick Ross, bro -- I can't vibe with you now, bro," Hill said. "I can't f*** with you no more, bro."

"Rick Ross, man. You had the audacity to talk to a fireman instead of come protect -- you got my number, bro," Hill continued. "You get on Twitter, posting me all over Twitter, like, after what me and my family went through. You're supposed to be the neighbor -- the neighborhood hero!!"

Former Jaguars star and Pivot cohost Fred Taylor -- who also lives near Hill and Ross -- shared his side of the emergency ... saying he saw Ross recording the whole thing on his celly.

He explained there were a ton of firetrucks outside by the time he knew what was going on ... but Cheetah didn't seem to be bothered at all, especially because Taylor didn't throw video up on the internet for everyone to see.

Hill also took issue with how Ross name-dropped Wing Stop during the whole fiery fiasco ... adding, "Don't try to use me for promotion, bro!!"

Travis Barker's son, Landon, is opening up about his life with Tourette syndrome ... which nobody seemed to know about until now.

The 20-year-old influencer shared his health journey Monday -- this after a fan on TikTok speculated he may have the disorder. As Landon detailed in the video above ... he has a minor case of Tourette's -- which he says he was initially diagnosed with as a child.

Landon recalled first experiencing Tourette's back in preschool ... after a teacher accused him of rolling his eyes at her. Travis' son -- whom he shares with Shanna Moakler -- explained the eye-rolling was eventually diagnosed as a tic ... a symptom of the neurological condition.

He went on to describe his tics -- which also include jerking his head to the side and moving his jaw repeatedly -- stuff he'll do when he says he's nervous or anxious.

On why he decided to share his diagnosis now ... Landon said he just felt like sharing his truth -- and fans have since applauded him for his candor.

Landon has been opening up about his personal life quite a bit in recent weeks ... having previously confirmed his split from TikToker girlfriend Charli D'Amelio in February.

At the time ... Landon told fans that he and Charli split on good terms -- as they're taking time to focus on themselves.

Believe it or not, Paul George turned down Nicki Minaj ... when the Queen of Rap wanted the NBA star to make a cameo in her music video!

The Los Angeles Clippers star made the surprising revelation on his "Podcast P" show this week, telling co-host Jackie Long he had the opportunity to make his cameo with the "Super Freaky Girl" rapper.

"You know what’s funny, this was maybe like a year or two ago, Nicki Minaj reached out for me to be in her music video," George said.

The 9x All-Star was unsure if he would've had the role of being Nicki's lover ... but joked his wife Daniela wasn't havin' it.

"I looked at Daniela, Daniela looked at me ... 'ay, I ain’t going to be able to do it'," PG13 said.

"I’m playing! She was excited about the opportunity too, but I declined."

George -- who married Daniela in 2022 -- says his wife would've been right there on set if it happened ... but his schedule had them both miss out.

"It was just a scheduling conflict that I couldn't [get out of]," George said.

"It would've been dope. It's Nicki Minaj, one of the biggest female artists -- not even just female, biggest artists of our lifetime!"

If PG's hoping for another shot, it doesn't sound like it's going to happen anytime soon ... Nicki's currently on her "Pink Friday 2" world tour while George, who is averaging 22 points a game, is smack in the heart of the NBA season ... with the playoffs approaching.

Had he accepted, George would've joined other NBA stars who appeared in music videos, including Michael Jordan, who was in Michael Jackson's "Jam" video, and Kobe Bryant, who made his cameo in "Bug-A-Boo" by Destiny's Child.
