Zita Vass wants to know why she -- and presumably other white women -- can't say the n-word during live concerts ... and she's got quite an argument on why it should be kosher.

The Guess model posted a series of videos on her social media account this weekend ... and it was all about this hot-button issue -- namely, folks who aren't Black needing to censor themselves when it comes to singing or rapping the n-word, especially at live shows.

Zita says she's sick of doing that ... and thinks she oughta have a pass in live music settings.

She goes on to argue that African-Americans use the word as a term of endearment -- and insists she has no ill will in her heart if she were to use it in repeating back song lyrics ... going on to say she resents the notion that doing so would make her racist in some circles.

Zita also asks why the term is only exclusive to Black people ... and openly wonders why it's taboo for non-Black people to say it. She distinguishes between wanting to use the n-word generally and using it for musical purposes -- noting she only wants to do the latter.

Of course, she's catching some backlash -- with lots of people flooding her comment section to let her know why it's not okay ... explaining points that have been litigated ad nauseam.

Her IG caption for this is a little eyebrow-raising too, FWIW ... she writes, "THE N WORD - Warning #controversial #africanamericans."

Maluma ya es todo un papi... el cantante y su novia celebran el nacimiento de su hija.

La superestrella colombiana de 30 años publicó fotos acariciando a la recién nacida. Maluma dice que ella nació el sábado a las 8:23 AM, y agradeció a su novia Susana Gómez "por cumplir mi mayor sueño de ser padre".

Los fans habían anticipado el nombre del bebé después de ver a Susana luciendo un collar de diamantes que deletreaba París, y Maluma confirmó que es de hecho su nombre.

También dice que el bebé París tendrá los apellidos de ambos padres, París Londono Gómez. El nombre legal de Maluma es Juan Luis Londono Arias.

El viernes, él había publicado un montón de fotos con Susana -varios de ellos en la guardería que han construido para la llegada del bebé- y su título, "Días para conocerte" fue un claro indicio de que su paquete de alegría estaba cerca.

Maluma anunció en octubre que estaban esperando un bebé con el videoclip de su tema "Procura", que se centra en su romance con Susana y en cuyo último minuto dio la noticia.

Chris Brown apparently got into a little fender-bender this weekend -- and while the scrape to his sports car will probably buff right out ... that doesn't mean he was happy about it.

The singer was hitting the town very early Sunday morning in Hollywood -- leaving The Nice Guy after a little partying, we're told -- and on his way out ... he seems to have bumped into another vehicle that left the front of his Lamborghini with some major scuff marks.

The fact that his whip is white makes the black marks all the more noticeable, of course, and it looks like Chris stopped to exchange info with whoever it was he might've tapped.

He certainly looked frustrated at the moment -- but handled his biz and went on his way.

The next morning, however, Chris seems to have realized the extent of the damage -- 'cause he was photographed looking a little heated as he appeared to be addressing the mishap with a crew of people he was with while leaving a private house party just hours later.

No word on what exactly he was saying -- but it sure reads like ... "LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO MY F***ING CAR!!!" This new angle also appears to show the bumper is slightly dented.

Like we said ... it should be easy enough to fix it -- but considering how damn pricey these cars are -- it might end up costing CB a pretty penny ... assuming insurance doesn't just handle it. In any case ... Chris wasn't happy about having to deal with it, period.

Ariana Grande says some of her fans are letting her down by attacking her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez ... who they think cheated on her due to the lyrics of her new song, "Eternal Sunshine."

Ari posted a very clear demand Saturday, telling fans ... "I just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what I would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music) ... I ask that you please do not."

The fan outrage started mounting early Friday morning when the title track of her new album, "Eternal Sunshine" dropped.

The song includes a verse that goes ... "I've never seen someone lie like you do // So much, even you start to think it's true // So now we play our separate scenes // Now, now she's in my bed, mm-mm, layin' on your chest // Now I'm in my head, wonderin' how it ends."

In another line she says she got "played like Atari," and she's found a "good boy and he's on my side" -- an apparent reference to new BF Ethan Slater.

All of this prompted her legion of fans to torch Dalton on social media, and even threaten him with comments like ... "i don’t wanna see her like this literally ever again dalton gomez you will never have another peaceful sleep in this lifetime i promise you that."

Other intense reactions went like this ... "DALTON GOMEZ U WILL BURN IN HELL," and "getting with ariana after the worst years of her life and making her finally feel like she found true love and was healing only to cheat on her and be a horrible husband… dalton gomez i hate you so much."

Yeah, lots of feels. Way too much, according to Ariana herself.

In her attempt to call off the dogs, once and for all, she added ... "It is not how to support me. It is the opposite. Although this album captures a lot of painful moments, it also is woven together with a through line of deep, sincere love. If you cannot hear that, please listen more closely. Thank you."

Interestingly, she didn't exactly say the song isn't about Dalton -- instead, her point seems to be ... whatever happened, I'm cool with it now. And you should be too.

TMZ broke the story ... Ari and Dalton finalized their divorce last year, wrapping up their 2 years of marriage. They'd gotten together during the COVID pandemic, and our sources said things fell apart once they returned to their regular schedules.

We were also told the split was as amicable as could be -- although, "Eternal Sunshine" strongly suggests Ariana -- who's now dating Ethan -- had some hard feelings.

Esta NO es la forma en que Madonna debe expresarse... es lo que la gente dice en redes sociales luego de que la diva cometiera un grave error cuando detuvo su show para decirle a una fan que estaba primera fila que se pusiera de pie, solo para percatarse de que la chica estaba en silla de ruedas.

El clip del momento de Madonna se está viralizando. Los fans la están criticando, no tanto por el error, sino por su reacción indiferente una vez que se dio cuenta.

Esto ocurrió el jueves por la noche durante su concierto en el Kia Forum de Inglewood, California. Entre canción y canción, Madge miró al público, miró fijamente a la fan sentada y le dijo: "¿Qué haces sentada?".

Como la vergüenza pública no hizo que la chica se levantara, Madonna se acercó para verla más de cerca, y fue entonces cuando su corazón debió hundirse, porque rápidamente dijo: "Oh, vale... políticamente incorrecto. Lo siento. Me alegro de que estés aquí".

La reacción va desde el humor a la indignación pura, una persona escribió: "Siento que debería haber reembolsado el billete de esa persona", mientras que otro dijo: "Señora, hay 100 razones por las que alguien podría sentarse y todas ellas son válidas".

Mientras que Madonna admitió su error en el acto, algunas personas hacen oídos sordos, diciendo, "'¿políticamente incorrecto?', simplemente fuiste MALVADA 😭😭"

Lo único positivo para la icónica cantante, es que este error podría hacer que la gente se olvide de su caída de una silla el mes pasado durante su parada de gira en Seattle.

En su defensa, está claro que Madonna no tenía ninguna mala intención, pero a sus 65 años, lleva tiempo en esto... así que es sorprendente que cometiera un error así. La mujer ha estado de gira durante más de cuatro décadas después de todo.

Maluma really is a papi now ... the singer and his girlfriend are celebrating the birth of their baby girl.

The 30-year-old Colombian superstar posted pics of himself nuzzling the newborn, apparently in the hospital nursery. Maluma says she was born Saturday at 8:23 AM, and he thanked his GF Susana Gomez "for fulfilling my biggest dream of being a Father."

Fans had anticipated the baby's name after seeing Susana rocking a diamond necklace spelling out Paris -- and Maluma confirmed that is indeed her name.

He also says baby Paris will have both parents' last names ... Paris Londono Gomez. Maluma's government name is Juan Luis Londono Arias.

On Friday, he'd posted a bunch of pics with Susana -- several of them in the nursery they've built for the baby's arrival -- and his caption, "Days to meet you" was a dead giveaway that their bundle of joy was close.

Maluma announced back in October that they were expecting by releasing his music video for "Procura" --  the video focuses on his romance with Susana, and in the final minute of it, he dropped the baby news.

This is NOT how Madonna should express herself -- she's getting scorched for this jaw-dropping blunder, when she stopped her show to call out a front-row fan for sitting through her show, only to learn they're in a wheelchair.

The clip of Madonna's cringe moment is from last month in Vancouver but is just now making the rounds ... and folks are slamming her -- not so much for the mistake -- but for her nonchalant reaction once she figured it out.

Between songs, Madge looked into the audience, locked eyes with the seated fan and said, "What are ya doing sitting down?"

When public shaming didn't make the fan get up, Madonna walked over for a closer look ... which is when her heart must've sank, because she quickly said, "Oh, ok ... politically incorrect. Sorry about that. I'm glad you're here."

The backlash ranges from humorous to pure outrage -- one person wrote, "I feel like she should have refunded that person's ticket" ... while another said, "Maam, there are 100 reasons why someone might sit- and all of them are valid"

While Madonna admitted her mistake on the spot, some folks aren't trying to hear it ... telling her, "'politically incorrect' no girl that was just MEAN 😭😭"

The only positive for the iconic signer ... it's the kinda mistake that might make people forget about the image of her falling off a chair last month during her tour stop in Seattle.

In her defense, Madonna clearly didn't have any ill intent, but at 65, she's been at this a while ... so, it's surprising she would make such a mistake. The woman's been touring for more than 4 decades, after all.

El pájaro mascota de una mujer británica es un cantante matutino, y despierta a su dueña con música soul de los 70s... algo que le encanta a todo el mundo en TikTok.

Kiki, una cacatúa cantante con 3 millones de seguidores, ha hecho vibrar al mundo entero con su última actuación, y su frustrada dueña lo ha posteado en redes sociales.

Kiki canta "September" de Earth, Wind and Fire muy temprano, para disgusto de esta pobre mujer.

Al parecer, para Kiki, ninguna hora era demasiado temprano para bailar el pegadizo estribillo del megaéxito de 1978 mientras estaba encima de una pecera en la habitación de su dueña.

La dueña, privada de sueño, levanta el dedo para ordenar "silencio" al pájaro, que obedece... pero vuelve a hacerlo un segundo después porque, admitámoslo, ¡la canción es demasiado buena para dejarla!

Frustrada por las travesuras de Kiki, su madre humana envió un grito de ayuda en el pie de foto, escribiendo: "Enviar ayuda porfa, ¿dónde está el botón de apagado del loro?"

Con 22 millones de "me gusta" y subiendo, los comentarios no se hicieron esperar: una persona reconoció que el dueño "no lo apagó, solo se quedó dormido"... mientras que otra bromeaba: "¿Quién es el administrador del pájaro? Tengo que ponerme en contacto con ellos para poner a esta estrella en mi próxima playlist🔥".

Kiki lleva un tiempo repartiendo alegría y risas por Internet con un montón de otras interpretaciones, como "If You're Happy and You Know It".

A British woman's pet bird is also an early bird -- and the way it wakes up its owner is with some '70s soul music ... which the internet is absolutely loving on TikTok.

Kiki -- a singing cockatiel who's amassed 3 million followers -- has got the whole world chirping with its latest performance ... which its frustrated human posted online.

Kiki sings Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" bright and early -- to the chagrin of this poor woman.

Apparently for Kiki ... no hour was too early to bop along to the catchy chorus of the 1978 mega-hit while on top of a fish tank in the owner's room.

The sleep-deprived owner then puts up her finger to order "silence" from the bird, who complies ... but is back at it a second later because, let's face it, the song's just too good to give up!

Frustrated with Kiki's antics, the owner sent out a cry for help in the caption, writing -- "Send help plz where's the off button on parrot."

With 22 million likes and counting, the comments poured in -- one person acknowledged the owner "didn't turn it off, just snoozed it" ... while another joked, "Who's the manager of the bird? I need to contact them about putting this star on my next track🔥."

Kiki's been spreading joy and laughter across the internet for a while now with a bunch of other renditions, such as "If You're Happy and You Know It."

Jimmy Kimmel ya tiene una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama, ¡y sus looks a lo largo de los años merecen un Oscar!

Esta es la versión de 36 años del presentador del late-night talk show, con un aspecto impecable en 2004 (izquierda). Esto fue un poco después de que su clásico en Comedy Central "The Man Show" terminara y solo un año después de su larga permanencia en "Jimmy Kimmel Live".

Y, dos décadas después, el presentador con más seguidores sigue estando muy elegante, luciendo otro traje de pingüino y listo para el circuito de entregas de premios a principios de este año (derecha).

¿A quién hay que agradecer el buen aspecto de esta estatua dorada?

He's already got a star on the Walk of Fame ... Jimmy Kimmel's looks over the years deserve an Oscar!

Here is a 36-year-old version of the late-night talk show host, looking spiffy back in 2004 (left). This was shortly after his Comedy Central classic "The Man Show" wrapped and just one year into his long-standing tenure on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"!

And, two decades later the host with the most is still sharp while staying buttoned-up in another penguin suit while working the award show circuit earlier this year (right).

So who's to thank for this golden statue's good looks?

Kanye West's wife is keeping her wardrobe risque ... even though they're back on U.S. soil, she's still flashing as much skin as she did in Europe -- and it might be the perfect distraction from yet another late release from her husband.

Bianca Censori was rocking a completely sheer black bodysuit and high-high garter boots with her bare ass cheeks on full display Friday night in L.A. ... as she and Ye arrived at a listening party for his "Vultures 2" album.

The project was supposed to be released to the public on Friday, but as he typically does ... Kanye hit pause, and it never dropped.

Inside the party, though, no one seemed to mind the delay. Hell, they were all getting to hear the unfinished album -- and, no doubt, Bianca gave everyone something else to talk about ... her lack of clothing.

As for the album's status -- Kanye told fans on social media, "We in the lab." Just as he did for the first 'Vultures' record, Ye is working with Ty Dolla $ign for the follow-up.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están oficialmente de vacaciones y los tortolitos fueron a celebrarlo el viernes por la noche en Singapur con parte del equipo de Taylor.

Dio la impresión que la pareja tuvo una cita casual cerca de un centro comercial, donde algunos fans los divisaron siendo escoltados en un carrito de golf. Uno de los Swifties gritó, "Felicidades, Travis", tal vez refiriéndose a su victoria en el Super Bowl el mes pasado, ¡pero más probablemente por estar saliendo con Taylor!

Traylor ha estado muy ocupado desde que Travis aterrizó en Singapur para ver sus dos últimos shows allí. También fueron a cenar a un elegante restaurante japonés llamado KOMA, al que se sumaron algunos compañeros de su banda.

Los shows de Singapur dieron por cerrada la etapa del "Eras" tour en el sudeste asiático y ahora ella tiene un par de meses libre para viajar y/o relajarse con su novio, quien también está en modo de vacaciones por el receso de temporada.

Donde quiera que vayan, siempre atraen toneladas de atención, incluso mientras caminaban por un centro comercial aparentemente vacío, alguien los vio mientras se abrazaban y paseaban de la mano.

Como informamos, Travis lo pasó de maravillas en el concierto de TayTay la noche anterior. Él y sus amigos fueron pillados bailando como locos en una suite de lujo del estadio y, más tarde, el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs la estaba esperando con un abrazo y un beso apenas se bajó del escenario.

El próximo show de Taylor es en mayo, en París, así que tienen un buen tiempo para hacer lo que quieran.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially in their vacay era -- something the lovebirds eased into with a night of celebrating in Singapore with her band.

The couple looked to be having a casual date night near a mall, where some fans spotted them getting escorted around the grounds in a golf cart. One of the Swifties shouted, "Congrats, Travis" ... perhaps referring to his Super Bowl victory last month -- but, more likely, giving the NFL star props for dating Taylor!

Traylor's been busy as ever since he touched down in Singapore to catch her last 2 shows there. They also did dinner at a fancy Japanese restaurant called KOMA, where they were joined by some of her bandmates.

The Singapore shows wrapped up the Southeast Asia leg of her "Eras" world tour, and now she has a couple months free to travel and/or chill out with her BF ... who's also in off-season vacay mode.

Wherever they go, they're sure to draw tons of attention -- even as they walked through an apparently empty mall, someone spotted them as they hugged and walked hand-in-hand.

As we reported, Travis was having the time of his life at TayTay's concert the previous night. He and his buddies were dancing their asses off in a stadium luxury suite ... and, later, he was waiting for her with a hug and kiss as soon as she ran off the stage.

Taylor's next scheduled show isn't until May, in Paris, so they've got time to do whatever the hell they choose.

La esposa de Kanye West sigue con sus atrevidas elecciones de vestuario. A pesar de que están de vuelta en suelo estadounidense, ella sigue mostrando tanta piel como lo hizo en Europa y podría ser la distracción perfecta para otro lanzamiento tardío de su marido.

Bianca Censori lució un body negro completamente transparente y botas altas de liga con sus nalgas en plena exhibición el viernes por la noche en Los Ángeles, cuando ella y Ye llegaron a una fiesta para escuchar su álbum "Vultures 2".

Se suponía que el proyecto iba a ser lanzado al público el viernes, pero como suele hacer el rapero, Kanye apretó el botón de pausa y nunca apareció.

Dentro de la fiesta, sin embargo, a nadie pareció importarle el retraso. Todos llegaron a escuchar el álbum y, sin duda, Bianca dio a todos algo más de qué hablar.

En cuanto al estado del álbum, Kanye le dijo a los fans en redes sociales: "Estamos en el laboratorio". Tal como hizo con el primer disco "Vultures", Ye está trabajando con Ty Dolla $ign para esta continuación.

Barbara Corcoran's dishing some no-nonsense advice for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott over their desperate attempts to offload their uber-fancy Beverly Hills mansion.

We got the "Shark Tank" star out in L.A. earlier this week ... she tells us the exes slashing the price from $21.9M to under $18M ain't enough, and they need to quite simply be realistic when it comes to their asking price.

The real estate pro says it comes down to the L.A. luxury housing market not being the best right now, especially with that pesky new "mansion tax" in play -- which she's been vocal about ... previously telling us it was ridiculous.

BC also weighs in on Travis' other property, which sits atop a huge crack in a Brentwood hillside caused by recent record-breaking storms.

A precarious situation for sure, but Barbara says it's nothing to worry about.

As someone who's purchased a few oceanfront properties herself, Barbara says she's seen fellow seafront property owners have their pads washed out ... so, to her, a crack in the land ain't a big deal nor is it a bad investment, especially if Travis uses the property wisely.

Leave it to Barbara to put things in perspective!
