Tina Turner's getting a huge honor in the place where she was born, as local leaders have approved a bronze Tina statue -- about a year after the mayor first promised to erect one.

Bill Rawls, Jr. the mayor of Brownsville, Tennessee tells TMZ ... the city has decided to fund a six-foot-tall bronze statue that will be placed in the city's Heritage Park, which is located right near the high school Turner attended.

We're told the statue's gonna cost around $150k with the city making the initial deposit before public/private funds cover the rest. The fundraising is starting ASAP, but Rawls says he's not worried about puttin' together the cash.

Chantel se metió de lleno en Coachella a principios de esta semana con su set durante la velada Pre-Coachella Soiree de Darren Dzienciol y se veía TAN sexy en SoCal. Sin embargo, algunos elementos de su equipamiento no se ven tan bien.

For real though, who doesn't wanna step up to Chantel Jeffries's DJ booth?! But first, there are some minor switch-ups in the way, which you must clear out! Keep your eyes and ears open, and see if you've got what it takes to find the differences!

Spinning right into Coachella earlier this week, Chantel jumpstarted the tunes with her set during Darren Dzienciol's Pre-Coachella Soiree -- lookin' SO hot in SoCal. However, some of her equipment ain't lookin' right!

Can you locate the changes? Hey DJ, spin it!

The world-renowned Coachella Valley Music Festival kicked off in the desert this weekend, and you can bet your bottom dollar on these Hollywood Hotties to turn up with their sidekicks for music's trendiest festival!

Riding into the desert HOT, David Dobrik and Noah Beck stopped for a classic Coachella Ferris Wheel selfie, Lele Pons and Hannah Stocking brought their Bestie Game in matching metallic drip crop tops, and "Vanderpump Rules" star Ariana Madix planted a friendly smooch on her sidekick Dayna Kathan!

JoJo Siwa has addressed the rumors she stole her new song from Miley Cyrus and Brit Smith ... telling TMZ she in no way swiped the single from anyone.

We caught up with the 20-year-old outside Studio Siwa in Burbank, where she told us how she came into possession of her viral track, "Karma." As JoJo put it ... she was pitched the song -- which she defended as a very normal thing in the music industry.

She added ... "What happens is, people write songs and then they just don't do anything with them. And then, a few years later, it makes more sense for another artist."

The world's oldest conjoined twins Lori & George Schappell have died -- according to online obituaries.

The twins passed at a hospital in Pennsylvania ... though the exact cause of their death, reportedly last Sunday, has not been disclosed.

Lori & George were born in 1961 ... fused partially at the skull, and sharing 30% of their brains, the parietal and frontal lobes.

K-pop star Park Boram is dead, and multiple media outlets in Korea are reporting her death came after a night of heavy drinking with friends.

According to the Korea Herald, Park died Thursday at a hospital, but she had first collapsed while at a friend's house ... and might have suffered a cardiac arrest -- but the exact cause of death is still under investigation.

Another report, from AllKPop, says one of Park's friends found her unconscious and slouched over a bathroom sink -- and one of her friends then performed CPR, attempting to revive her.

Suge Knight says Warren G and Russell Simmons swindled him out of publishing dollars, but Warren is barking back with claims Suge has his facts all mixed up!!!

A fired-up WG says he broke from his boxing workout on Friday just to give Suge a piece of his mind ... responding to Suge making him his whippin' boy on the most recent 'Collect Call' podcast episode.

Suge claimed Snoop Dogg and Kurupt were Warren's ghostwriters on his 1994 debut album "Regulate... G Funk Era," which was released on a subsidiary label of Russell's Def Jam Records.

The album was a big hit ... it went 3X Platinum thanks to hits like "This D.J." and the certified hip hop classic "Regulate" with the late Nate Dogg -- a song Suge says he gave to Russell in good faith, having blown up on his "Above the Rim" soundtrack a year prior.

Now, because Snoop and Kurupt were signed to Suge's publishing, Suge expected a big payout, but says Russ pulled a fast one and falsely listed WG as a writer.

Suge also says Dr. Dre, who's Warren's stepbrother, used to beat Warren's ass for using phones in his presence ... for whatever reason.

According to Warren, Kurupt only assisted on the song "Do You See," and Snoop on "This D.J." ... but that's all.

Warren also denied the Dr. Dre beatdowns, but claimed he saved Suge from a couple of close calls at nightclubs back in the day -- he says he earned his ranking, and never had any ill will toward Suge.

La estrella del K-pop Park Boram ha muerto y varios medios de comunicación coreanos informan que su fallecimiento se produjo tras una noche de copas con sus amigos.

Según el Korea Herald, la cantante murió el jueves en un hospital, pero primero se habría derrumbado mientras estaba en la casa de un amigo y podría haber sufrido un paro cardíaco, aunque la causa exacta de muerte aún está bajo investigación.

Otro informe, de AllKPop, dice que uno de los amigos de Park la encontró inconsciente y encorvada sobre el lavabo de un baño y uno de sus amigos le realizó una reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) para tratar de revivirla.

NLE Choppa is officially in the fashion game through a new partnership with a former shot-caller at Kanye West's Yeezy house ... and they're making a splash with a neon yellow "Duck Boot!!!"

On Friday, the Memphis rapper and FCTRY LAb co-founder Omar Bailey rolled out the first of their limited-edition line -- just as NLE doubled up and dropped new music, too ... his "Slut Me Out 2" single.

NLE tells us he first got hip to Omar during his tenure working with Ye, and sought him out to infuse his artistic DNA into the boot's concept. He says the partnership was an easy one, because they've both got an entrepreneurial mindset.

He's not the only hip hop star to introduce custom kicks with a Black-owned brand this week -- Nicki Minaj also debuted her hot pink sneakers, giving the ladies a new reason to strut their stuff.

Choppa debuted the Duck Boot at Rolling Loud, and recently gave the first pair to Kai Cenat ... who was floored by the unique packaging and courtesy rubber duckies in the box.

J. Cole continues to weave a tangled web after backing out of a war with Kendrick Lamar ... as many fans now feel he's guilty of joining the anti-Drake campaign.

The Dreamville rapper is one of the guests on Future and Metro Boomin's new "We Still Don't Trust You" album -- popping up on the velvety smooth track, "Red Leather."

Cole spends his verse chronicling his struggles with monogamy as a rich, married man who could pull Rubi Rose with a single DM, but never addresses the ongoing drama between Drake and Kendrick, or Drake and any number of others, for that matter.

Future and Metro's "Like That" is reigning supreme on the Billboard Hot 100 for its 3rd straight week -- and Cole is just days removed from being a supporting act on Drake's 'Big as the What?' tour.

So, aligning with Drake's enemies ain't a good look, at least from Akademiks and Kai Cenat's POV.

Both streaming juggernauts leaned into the narrative trending on social media that accused Cole of switching sides -- many felt he could've detached himself from "We Still Don't Trust You" in light of recent events.

Ak says Cole sits amongst "the worst of type of people" ... smilin' in your face, while all the time they want to take your place.

Kai had a similar reaction and thinks Cole selfishly plotted against Drake.

TMZ Hip Hop just caught up with Honorable C-Note -- who scored production on both Future and Metro Boomin's albums -- and naturally, he honored Cole's decision to bow out gracefully.

Most fans definitely view it much differently.

Los siameses más viejos del mundo, Lori y George Schappell han fallecido, de acuerdo a los obituarios en línea.

Los gemelos fallecieron en un hospital de Pennsylvania, aunque la causa exacta de su muerte, al parecer el domingo pasado, no ha sido revelada.

Lori y George nacieron en 1961, con sus cráneos parcialmente fusionados. Compartían el 30% de sus cerebros, los lóbulos parietal y frontal.

¡¡¡Future y Metro Boomin siguen ganando impulso en las listas de éxito con su álbum "We Still Don't Trust You", el que incluye una segunda ronda de puñetazos a Drake, esta vez con The Weeknd y A$AP Rocky lanzando los golpes!!!

¡¡¡Weeknd y Drake estuvieron alguna vez alineados para ser compañeros de sello en OVO, pero su relación se esfumó y Abel le está diciendo al mundo que no se arrepiente!!!

En la canción "All to Myself", Weeknd canturrea unas críticas dirigidas a Drake y a su chico Baka Not Nice en las redes sociales que dicen: "Nunca podría disuadir a mis hermanos, nena / Cuando tienen fugas en su operación / Doy gracias a Dios que nunca firmé mi vida / Y nunca tuvimos la gran charla / Ellos tiradores haciendo 'TikToks / Nos tienen riéndonos 'en el Lambo".

Quavo isn't letting Chris Brown's scorned lover disses slide -- and showed he can play the same game of racking up streams with slick talk!!!

On his new track "Tender," Quavo ribs Chris for his history of domestic violence ... "You did the bitch wrong and now the bitch gone, she posted with a thug ... Call the bitch phone, she won't come home, don't beat her up/It must be the drugs, need to cross out your plug."

The woman he's referring to is not Rihanna, but Karrueche Tran -- remember, CB fired the first shot, slicing through Quavo on his new "11:11" deluxe album over his ex-GF Karrueche sliding with Huncho ... years ago, mind you.

Future and Metro Boomin are piling on to their chart-topping momentum with their "We Still Don't Trust You" album -- it includes round 2 of treating Drake like a speed bag, and this time The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky are throwing the punches!!!

Weeknd and Drake were once aligned to be OVO labelmates, but their relationship fizzled ... and Abel is telling the world he has no regrets!!!

On the song “All to Myself,” Weeknd croons slick disses aimed at Drake and his boy Baka Not Nice's social media antics ... "Could never diss my brothers, baby/When they got leaks in they operation/I thank God that I never signed my life away/ And we never do the big talk/ They shooters makin’ TikToks/ Got us laughin’ in the Lambo.”

Travis Kelce reached yet another life milestone on Thursday night, receiving his college diploma from the Univ. of Cincinnati, and in true Kelce fashion, he celebrated by -- you guessed it -- sucking down a beer!!

The Kansas City Chiefs star and his big brother, Jason, were at their old stomping grounds to film a live episode of their 'New Heights' podcast ... and when it came time to put a bow on the festivities, officials at their alma mater surprised them with an impromptu commencement ceremony.

Both dudes had previously graduated from the school ... but neither got to walk across the stage to snatch their diplomas -- so the moment was pretty special for the two.
