Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian are among the biggest celebs being blocked en masse on social media -- and it all has to do with the Israel-Palestine war, among other issues.

The two superstars -- who are, coincidentally, archenemies -- have been losing a crap ton of followers on Instagram and other platforms over the past several days, which is in line with a broader trend that's sweeping the internet right now ... namely, boycotting celebs.

You might've heard about this, at this point -- especially after the Met Gala ... when the whole movement kicked into high gear, and normies mobilized to block A-listers far and wide.

Cardi B won’t be casting her ballot for Joe Biden or Donald Trump this November … 'cause she’s calling them both failures as Commanders In Chief.

Cardi wasn't going out of her way to discuss the upcoming election, but in her extensive Rolling Stone profile that dropped Thursday, the topic came up ... and she emptied the clip on both candidates' presidential performance during their respective times in office.

She says ... "I don’t f*** with both of y’all n****s" -- adding that Biden's current domestic and foreign policies have been the source of "layers and layers of disappointment" for her.

Hailey Bieber is just like any other woman who's pregnant and getting cravings for certain foods ... but hers might be slightly more unusual, yet don't tell her that!

Take Hailey's latest meal to satisfy her hankering for certain sustenance ... which she featured Wednesday on her Instagram Story.

Hailey posted several photos showing off her baby bump as the model struck various poses. But the one that captured everyone's attention focused on her hand holding egg salad on top of a pickle with ... wait for it ... hot sauce!

Dr. Terry Dubrow's giving Kelly Clarkson props for coming clean about using a weight loss drug -- but he's not cool with the half-truths that came before, and he's encouraging others to be more transparent.

We got the "Botched" star out in Bev Hills, where he's tipped his hat to Kelly's incredible transformation but lamented her denial of using Ozempic ... which indirectly put the spotlight on the other option: Mounjaro.

Dr. Dubrow says Kelly's attempt to distance herself from Ozempic is a real bummer 'cause the drug is a huge game-changer -- not only for obesity but tackling other health woes.

Joy Behar said the quiet part out loud while defending Kelly Clarkson hopping on weight loss drugs ... saying nobody wants to be heavier than they need to be, period.

The topic of Kelly copping to the fact she's on medication that helped drop major poundage got brought up on Wednesday's episode of "The View" ... and Whoopi Goldberg was pointing out that Kelly can't win here, getting criticized no matter what she does or says.

The group of hosts debated over whether Kelly should've been more forthcoming early on in her dramatic weight loss -- and eventually, Joy just came out and dropped a truth bomb.

Avril Lavigne -- or someone presenting as her -- is eye-rolling about the long-held conspiracy theory the real Avril has been replaced by a lookalike, but she also realizes they could be saying a lot worse.

The singer-songwriter hopped on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast Wednesday where host Alex Cooper asked about the wild rumor claiming she died back in the early 2000s, and the woman now calling herself Avril ... is really an actor named Melissa Vandella.

Avril says the theory's totally ridiculous ... 'cause she says she's definitely her -- and the whole idea she's not is just "dumb."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still dancing through their divorce drama ... but their daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is out there boogying down like there's no tomorrow.

Check it out ... a video posted by choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter shows Shiloh not just dancing, she's dripping in sweat and owning that dance floor like a pro.

She's doing a full-blown routine here -- popping and locking and busting out a ton of cool moves.

Lauryn Hill closed last year celebrating the legacy of her iconic, and to-date, only album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" with a string of sold-out concerts for its 25th anniversary ... so what's next???

That was the million-dollar question when TMZ Hip Hop spoke with Ms. Hill and her son YG Marley in NYC as they were leaving the 'Tonight Show.'

L-Boogie fans blossomed into adulthood with 'Miseducation,' and renewed buzz about a possible sophomore album feels mighty timely!!!

Gunna just released his fifth album "One of Wun" at a time when hip hop is highly volatile -- rappers are feuding left and right, but he just wants to drop vibes!!!

TMZ Hip Hop got Gunna at LAX, while on a quick break from his 'Bittersweet' tour, and got a gauge on the reception from his latest project.

Gunna's new album is projected to do around 65,000 sales in its debut week. Not a bad showing at a time when Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets Department' has topped Billboard's album chart 4 weeks straight ... and Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" single became one of the biggest rap songs ever -- at least on Spotify, where it has a record-setting 100 million streams in 9 days.

Olivia Rodrigo handled a disastrous wardrobe malfunction like a pro ... not missing a beat as her top came undone during her London concert, and keeping the damn thing in place.

The singer took the stage at The O2 Arena Tuesday as part of her world tour -- and during a vigorous performance of her hit, "Love Is Embarrassing" ... Olivia's upper-body garment broke open ... forcing the former Disney Channel star to hold it in place.

Still, Olivia kept it together ... continuing on with the performance while motioning to her nearby dancer to fix the busted bustier. While they weren't able to get it fixed on the spot, Olivia didn't cut the song early ... only venturing offstage for help once the track wrapped.

Lil Baby's planned music video in Atlanta sounded like a war zone after flurries of shots were fired in the area -- and TMZ Hip Hop's obtained video of the ear-shattering scene!!!

The video unfolds with dozens of staffers and people setting up filming equipment Tuesday afternoon when the shooting began from what sounds like a semi-automatic weapon firing relentlessly for about 6 seconds.

Naturally, the cameraman ducks for cover and the video gets shaky as he points the lens toward the ground, but the background conversation fills in a bit of the story's blanks.

Travis Kelce has seen Taylor Swift's "Eras" show in five different cities, but he's nowhere close to getting tired of it just yet ... 'cause he said her most recent gig in Paris blew him away!!

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar gushed over his girlfriend's performance on the latest episode of "New Heights" with his brother, Jason, on Wednesday ... going into detail about all the changes she's made to include her latest project in her set.

"I had a blast at Tay's show, her new rendition of the 'Eras' tour," Travis said. "I suggest everybody go see it. It has her new 'Tortured Poets Department,' a handful of those songs in the new show, which means there's a new segment and new lights and new dancing and new everything to the f***ing show."

Benny Blanco is already planning a future with his girlfriend Selena Gomez -- including having babies with her ... which he says is not just on his radar, but next on the docket.

The music producer opened up about his romance with SG on Tuesday's episode of "The Howard Stern Show" ... where he made it clear he's VERY serious about the former Disney Channel star -- with whom he says he's ready to start a family.

Take a listen -- BB admits he's thinking about having children with Selena "every day," saying it's a goal he'd like to achieve in the near future. And by near, he means real soon.

Paris Hilton has heard all the online hate she got over her kids' car seat setup -- admitting she's still new to the whole motherhood thing ... and in the same vein, fixing the problem.

The heiress returned to TikTok Monday with a fresh clip -- this after having previously deleted a video which sparked concern for her son Phoenix and daughter London ... as their car seats were notably facing the wrong way.

In the new vid, Paris shows she's readjusted her kids' car seat setup ... thanking her follower for their advice on the situation. She wrote ... "Thanks for the mom advice, I'm new to this☺️ The #CutesieCrew is now ready for take off in the #SlivingMom van."

Antony Blinken is getting some heat for his decision to rock out on the guitar at a basement bar during his visit to Kyiv ... but by the same token, some say he shredded too.

The U.S. Secretary of State is in Ukraine's capital to pledge the States' support during the country's ongoing war with Russia. However, during his political visit, the secretary stopped by Barman Dictat ... where he joined the band 19.99 on stage for a rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World."

As you can imagine, some have blasted the Secretary of State ... calling the public appearance inappropriate and a waste of American taxpayers' money.

Noah Cyrus is continuing to shout out her mom, Tish ... and it seems any inkling of love triangle drama is almost all but faded, and the newfound love is going both ways.

Noah hit up her IG Stories Monday to wish her mom a happy birthday by sharing a throwback pic of her with Tish on a past birthday -- this coming hot on the heels of another throwback pic the day earlier ... where she was honoring Tish for Mother's Day.

The Sunday snap of Tish cradling her as a baby was pretty telling in and of itself -- and now, it feels like mother and daughter are in a better place ... 'cause Tish has reciprocated.
