At just 9 years old, American entertainer Alisan Porter skyrocketed to stardom after playing the role of the brave and tough, Curly Sue -- who lost everything including her mother and her home -- in the comedy drama movie "Curly Sue" back in 1991.

Alisan played opposite of Jim Belushi who took in Curly Sue when she was an orphaned baby, Bill and Kelly Lynch who plays the wealthy divorce lawyer, Grey.

When she auditioned for the "The Voice," she not only wowed former judge Christina Aguilera -- but she won over the world, winning the competition back in 2016!

Mark Wahlberg's celebrating two special women on Mother's Day ... shouting out his wife Rhea Durham, and celebrating his late mom Alma on the holiday.

The actor shared a sweet post dedicated to the two women Sunday morning ... dropping a series of images including a throwback pic with the lovely ladies and the rest of his brood.

Check out the pics ... Marky Mark's kids are quite a bit younger -- but, there's his mom - clad in yellow -- with a big old grin on her face.

Taylor Swift's man Travis Kelce's back to his globetrotting ways ... meeting up with his girl at her show in Paris -- and hanging out with a pair of famous friends.

The Chiefs tight end made it for Sunday night's edition of the "Eras" tour -- which kicked off about an hour ago in the City of Lights -- and, it's kinda hard to miss the big man cutting a rug as his lady love belts out some tunes.

Travis isn't alone in the box either -- chilling with a couple people fans swear are another super couple ... Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper!!!

Taylor Swift fans have bad blood with a fellow Swiftie who left their infant lying on the floor of the Paris arena where Taylor's performing.

The shocking photo has gone viral, for obvious reasons, after it was posted by a woman who says she was at the Friday night show at La Défense Arena ... in the standing room section, when she spotted the child.

The photo shows the baby lying on what appears to be a feathered boa or jacket as an adult - hopefully a parent or guardian -- stands over them.

Some Anita Baker fans are scrambling for Mother's Day gifts this morning after the singer had to pull the plug on her show in Atlanta just a few minutes before it was supposed to start.

Anita's show at State Farm Arena was packed Saturday night, as many fans gifted the concert tickets to their moms to celebrate the weekend. We can see it ... Anita on Saturday night, brunch on Sunday and you're good.

Those plans were scrapped, though, less than 15 minutes before the curtain was scheduled to go up ... as fans who were already in the arena found out the show would NOT be going on this time.

Now we know what Sabrina Carpenter's shocked face looks like -- the singer was blown away by a surprise birthday party, and surrounded by her BF Barry Keoghan and a few dozen of her closest friends.

Sabrina screamed with joy as she walked into Dumbo House Saturday night in Brooklyn ... among the faces greeting her were rapper Ice Spice, who was shooting video as her pal tried to blow out all the candles on her 25th birthday cake.

The writing on her frosted cake said, "Is 25 that sweet? I guess so!" It's a reference to her song, "Espresso," which includes the line ... "Is it that sweet? I guess so!"

The New Orleans Pelicans were swept in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs ... but Master P knows the secret to getting the team on track, telling TMZ Sports he'd transform the team into a championship contender if he were on the coaching staff!

We caught up with the king of New Orleans and his hoops star son, Mercy Miller, at LAX recently and asked him about the Pels’ disappointing end to the season at the hands of the number one seed OKC Thunder.

While many fans have suggested the team move on from Zion Williamson, and some of the other key pieces, P says he’s optimistic about the future of NOLA hoops.

Bob Dylan didn't just do iconic music in his heyday -- he was painting crap too ... and one of his artwork pieces could be yours ... 'cause it's up for grabs, TMZ has learned.

A painting Bob did in 1968 -- from a previously unseen collection of work from Dylan's Woodstock years -- is on the auction block, and it features an abstract design of a bull ... as well as music notes, bow ties, animals, and other notable imagery.

The painted canvas was given to Woodstock-area resident Sandy LePanto in exchange for an astrology chart ... with the painting remaining with the LePanto family until recently, as it was rediscovered by Anthony LePanto's estate.

3:58 PM PT -- Toronto Police Service tells TMZ ... they responded to Drake's house at 3:30 PM ET today and escorted a man off Drake's property after he wouldn't leave when told. We're told they ticketed the man.

Drake received another unexpected visitor Saturday ... with security taking down another alleged trespasser -- punctuating a week of scary moments at the estate.

New video and photos -- obtained by TMZ -- show one of Drake's security guards holding down this newest alleged trespasser outside Drizzy's Toronto mansion about an hour ago, the third this week.

Check out the clip ... it's a pretty quick shot, but there's clearly one man holding down another on the lawn outside the house -- and, he appears to be holding the guy's arms behind his back.

A contestant on the popular European singing competition Eurovision has been banned from performing in the final ... and, organizers say it's because the police are investigating him.

Joost Klein -- who's representing the Netherlands in this year's edition of the contest -- will not compete in the final because Swedish police are looking into a claim made by a female member of the production crew, the Eurovision team announced in a statement Saturday.

While the European Broadcasting Union won't say exactly what the allegations entail... they do mention it occurred after the semi-final performance on Thursday night -- adding it wouldn't be appropriate for Klein to continue while the investigation proceeds.

Matisyahu says Macklemore's new track isn't about freeing Palestine, as Mack claims -- instead, it only sows deeper discord by pushing what he sees as antisemitic tropes.

We caught up with the Jewish singer-songwriter in L.A., and he tells TMZ he's heard Macklemore's song, "Hind's Hall" -- and, quite frankly he thinks it'll keep people in conflict because of its inflammatory lyrics.

Matis starts by mentioning Macklemore's controversial 2014 disguise... one that featured a prosthetic nose, beard, and hat many called antisemitic.

WHAT'S POPPIN' ya'll?! You ready to take on the sneaky switcharoos in these two images of rapper-singer Jack Harlow? It may be hard to keep your eyes off this stunna, but while you're at it take a peek at the pottery.

Fresh off the Met Gala earlier this week, Mr. Harlow dressed down to his comfies in NYC and had his cute pup strapped in by his side. You think you've got what it takes to pocket the changes? If so, you deserve a round of a-paws!

Scott Stapp and his wife are headed for a split, 'cause she's filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

The Creed singer's wife of nearly 2 decades, Jaclyn, has decided to end the marriage, according to her rep. The split has been in the works for quite some time, though ... as court records, obtained by TMZ, show Jaclyn actually filed her divorce petition last May.

Her rep says she's faced a long battle in her relationship with Scott and, despite never envisioning divorcing him one day, she's decided to move on.

Xzibit got fans hyped with a video teaser making it seem like he's bringing back his "Pimp My Ride" franchise -- but it's actually a mobile game that confirms he's still fully dedicated to car culture!!!

Mr. X to the Z checked in with TMZ Hip Hop Friday to discuss his partnership with Chrome Valley Customs, which added his likeness and all sorts of digital accessories to the app.

X tells us he was surprised fans associated the announcement with 'PMR' -- especially because it's been off the air since 2007 -- but understands the passion for it.

Ne-Yo has the type of vocals ripe for AI programs to duplicate -- even he knows it's an inevitable reality -- but the R&B superstar is supremely confident computers can't replace the original.

We got Ne-Yo at LAX, where he admitted ... even though he's not a lawmaker, it's clear to him the music industry is going to need some serious policing with the advent of AI tech.

Ne-Yo's not completely against AI but is adamant permission and payment are necessary in all cases, especially with posthumous releases.

Diddy is asking a judge to toss a Jane Doe's lawsuit which alleges sexual misconduct against him ... and he lays out a few different reasons.

According to the filing, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's attorneys want Jane Doe's suit -- in which she alleges she was violated by Diddy and others at the age of 17 back in 2003 -- dismissed with prejudice ... and they say the statute of limitations on the statute she’s suing under has lapsed.

In other words, Diddy's attorneys say this woman missed her window to sue -- but more importantly, they point out ... she didn’t include many pertinent details -- outside of her alleged assault -- which they feel makes her claims paper thin and not worthy of being heard. They also insist … her allegations simply never happened, period.
