Lana Del Rey was in no mood to be followed around in Europe -- confronting some folks who got on her nerves ... and even trying to snatch a phone from someone filming her.

The singer's very public freakout played out on the streets of Paris Friday, where she got into a heated exchange with a group of people she claimed were following her around on her only day off.

Ya gotta see the video ... Lana spins around on the sidewalk and confronts at least one person, yelling ... "You followed me with my family! Get away from me! Don't follow me!"

Method Man wants it to be known he's not placing blame on any of the fans at Summer Jam last week, telling us the moment of clarity was his, and his alone!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with Meth Friday in NYC, where he cleaned up any misconceptions about him possibly backing off from live performances ... or that he hates Hot 97's annual rap fest.

Meth sure sounded like he'd appeared at Summer Jam for the final time after last weekend's performance -- citing hip hop's fully realized the age gap, but still thanked and showed love to the "Ebro in the Morning" team.

The guy behind the viral 'Crazy' trend on TikTok is reaping a ton of benefits after setting the internet on fire with the latest frenzy -- and he's already got a gig out of it ... with the WNBA.

We talked to Stephen Glickman -- who's already famous from the "Big Time Rush" show -- on "The TMZ Podcast," where he discussed his now-viral TikTok sound ... in which he does a slow, dramatic rendition of Gnarls Barkley's 2006 hit, "Crazy." Tons of stars have hopped on the trend -- lip-syncing to his track and sharing something cringe-worthy from their past.

There's nothing cringey about Stephen's success, however ... 'cause he says he's set to perform a WNBA halftime show soon. SG tells us he and his band are gonna fly out to Las Vegas ... where he will perform for the sold-out crowd at the Aces vs. Minnesota Lynx game.

Drake's trying to get back to normal life after a month of craziness on the home front -- which included a shooting -- and nothing screams normal more than a proud soccer dad in a cardigan.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Drake and his child's mother Sophie Brussaux soaking up a sideline view with a gaggle of fellow parents, as their son Adonis geared up Thursday for a match.

It's a total contrast from the picture Kendrick Lamar painted on his tide-turning tracks "Meet the Grahams" and "Not Like Us" -- Drake and Sophie are seen chatting it up as Adonis warms up on the field.

Young Thug's co-defendant Kenneth "YSL Woody" Copeland pled the fifth despite receiving immunity from prosecutors ... and found himself cuffed up for contempt of court!!!

On Friday, Judge Ural Glanville explained several times to Copeland he had to testify in the case because prosecutors had granted him immunity from prosecution with respect to his testimony.

The judge warned Copeland that he was skating on thin ice by continuing to invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

Billy Ray Cyrus is wearing his achy breaky heart on his sleeve, penning an unexpected tribute to his daughter Miley Cyrus -- a shock to fans because of all the buzz they're currently estranged.

The country singer took to Instagram Friday, where he shared a sweet throwback photo of himself and Miley ... revealing in the caption the pic is from an old CMA Fest appearance.

He wrote ... "One of my best memories ever: @cma Fest, back when it was Fan Fair. That's @mileycyrus and me, surrounded by thousands of incredible fans at the fairgrounds. The next day, someone handed me this picture, and I wrote that poem right then on the bus."

Can you guess which famous father is showin' off his rockin' bod?

Will Smith will tell ya ... even fame can't spare you from the taxman's grip, as he found out the hard way -- in fact, he says it cost him everything he owned back in his Philly days.

The actor spilled the beans on the "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast -- reminiscing about the late '80s, when he snagged his first Grammy for Best Rap Performance with "Parents Just Don't Understand." But, right at that high point, he also got a not-so-friendly notice from the IRS.

Will reflected, "I was, like, 'the IRS gets money from everybody, they don't need mine' -- but they felt differently. So I didn't pay taxes for two years and winning a Grammy and all that…so they just thought they should take my stuff."

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson nabbed free tickets to one of the biggest concerts of 2023 -- something she just made public ... confirming she's part of the BeyHive.

In the judge's financial disclosure report for 2023 -- obtained by TMZ -- the SCOTUS Justice revealed she was gifted 4 tickets to Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour last year. She lists Bey as the source too -- and that speaks to their value ... she cites them as being worth $3,711.84.

Unclear which concert Justice Jackson went to ... but based on that price point -- it sounds like she had a great view, 'cause that amount divided by 4 comes out to about $927 a pop!

Miley Cyrus is still dealing with the same guy who keeps bringing stuffed animals to her home ... 'cause cops say the dude came back once more, and again left in handcuffs.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the same guy who showed up at Miley's Los Angeles area home and got arrested in January returned Thursday night, this time carrying a teddy bear he was trying to give to the singer.

Miley's dealt with this guy for some years now ... cops say he's Alexander Kardalian and we're told Miley's security recognized him from past incidents and immediately detained him when he showed up on the property around 8:30 PM, before calling police.

Celine Dion is providing the most raw, and heartbreaking, description of her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome ... and says trying to sing feels like someone's strangling her.

In her first TV interview since her diagnosis, the singer told "Today" host Hoda Kotb that the feeling of someone pushing on her throat made her voice sound off -- and she even mimicked it by speaking in a high-pitched voice.

Celine revealed it all started in her throat ... and she didn't think it was a big deal at first. But soon after, her hands and feet began cramping so badly she couldn't unlock them.

6/7/24 -- We found the shirt that Rihanna was wearing, and here's what it says in full ... "I'm Retired, This Is As Dressed Up As I Get." The question ... is the "retirement" mystery over???

Rihanna is either sending a message or trolling with her fashion choice in the Big Apple ... and it's all about what's on her shirt.

RiRi hopped out of an SUV in New York City Thursday and walked past photogs in a graphic tee -- which has the words "I'm Retired" emblazoned across the front ... pretty interesting given that she hasn't released an album since 2016 and is now a mother of two.

Rihanna's fans are surely gonna read between the lines here ... and she didn't say much else as she made her way into a building, other than joking with a pap about Ozempic.

Sam Asghari's status as Britney Spears' most recent ex-husband is not something he can bank on to keep him relevant on his new job -- instead, he's gonna have to shine solo for "The Traitors."

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... while he's shooting Peacock's hit competition series, Sam's pretty much got a gag order when it comes to Britney -- he's not allowed to say anything negative, or even positive, about her.

Our sources say it's clear Britney doesn't want a peep out of Sam about her, period.

Zooey Deschanel is usually acting her ass off on camera -- but to cap off the month of May ... she was singing her ass off instead, and doing a damn good job too.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, that shows the "New Girl" star at an art gallery/wine bar in Wilmington, NC two Sundays ago ... where we're told she and some colleagues rented the space for a good old-fashioned karaoke sesh.

As you can see, Zooey was on the mic and belting out songs -- including "Don't Stop Believin'," "The Weight" and even "We Are the World." For each, she sang her heart out.

Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour has brought out fans, celebrities ... and now apparently shadowy figures cloaked in darkness too -- 'cause one stood atop a huge stadium to watch her show.

One of the singer's recent shows in Madrid received an unexpected guest ... caught on video at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the middle of Swift's song "Delicate." As you can see, this creepy thing (which looks like a human) is standing at the very top, alone.

While Tay's singing her heart out below, the audience member who filmed this pans upward ... catching the outline of an apparent person swaying along near the stadium's roof.

50 Cent says his entire interaction with Rep. Lauren Boebert was blown out of proportion because the photo-op everyone's talking about is all he had time for, plus he ain't exactly looking for a new GF.

Of course, that's not the impression 50 or Lauren gave the internet after they posted flirty exchanges to go with the cozy pics they snapped Wednesday at the White House.

We caught 50 out in NYC promoting the final season of "Power Book II: Ghost" and he laughed off the notion he and LB have a congressional romance blossoming.
