One of the Four Tops singers is suing a hospital for racial discrimination -- claiming white staffers sent him for a psych exam 'cause they didn't believe he was famous.

Alexander Morris -- who joined the band in 2019 as a vocalist -- filed suit against Michigan's Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital ... explaining he was rushed by ambulance last April with chest pain and difficulty breathing, and when he got there he told a nurse and security guard he was a member of the famous Motown band.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, AM says he wanted the hospital staff to know he was famous because of security concerns with stalkers and fans ... but he says a white security guard and a white ER doctor didn't believe he was famous and figured he was mentally ill.

President Biden threw a big bash at the White House ... an early celebration for the upcoming Juneteenth holiday ... and it looks like Joe was in a happy daze.

Biden and VP Kamala Harris were front and center Monday night on the famous South Lawn, chillin' with Billy Porter, among others who came out for the celebration ... which included a concert and a standup comedy performance.

POTUS knows how to host a party ... the main draw here was live music with performances by Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Kirk Franklin, Doug E. Fresh and Trombone Shorty. Solid lineup, for sure. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. served as the opening act.

Meghan Trainor's shaking things up in the real estate world -- listing her L.A.-area mansion hot on the heels of purchasing Zedd's swanky pad just last month ... a swap of sorts.

The singer recently listed her Encino pad for a jaw-dropping $11,995,000 -- this after she and her hubby -- "Spy Kids" actor Daryl Sabara -- snagged it from rapper TMG Fresh for $6.6 million in late 2020.

Since her purchase ... MT's extensively remodeled the home, hence the hefty price tag. And as you can see from the pics, the 14,165 square feet abode -- nestled in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles -- is definitely worth every penny.

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny can't seem to stay away from one another -- 'cause they were spotted on an intimate dinner date amid rumors of a romantic reconciliation.

Check out this footage that's making the rounds online ... the model can be seen lovingly looking into the eyes of her Latin pop star boyfriend, this as they enjoy some quality time at Yoko Japanese Restaurant in Puerto Rico.

Though the clip is quick, BB can be seen chatting Kendall's ear off ... and KJ is giving the artist her undivided attention. Clearly, they're back on again ... and with a vengeance!

Sexyy Red got arrested in New Jersey this weekend for a minor offense -- but now we know she was part of a huge brawl, and video shows she appeared to be very much in the mix.

The rapper got thrown in cuffs and hauled off to jail early Saturday morning at Newark Liberty International Airport -- where cops say she and some people she was with got into a fight with another group ... something TMZ Hip Hop now has on surveillance footage.

Check out the video ... you can see a few dudes catapult into frame at one of the terminals, immediately falling to the ground and going at it with fists, before Sexyy enters the frame.

Joe Jonas was seen getting cozy with a mystery brunette on a Greek beach, but the mystery didn’t last long ... 'cause she's been identified as Lebanese actress Laila Abdallah.

The singer kept the talking stage with the dark-haired beauty under wraps, because judging by their beach pics, they were already pretty tight -- holding hands, frolicking in the water, and basically attached at the hip while soaking up the sun.

Who exactly is Laila, you ask? Well, she's in the showbiz world herself, having starred in 25 TV series and appeared in 4 movies in her native Lebanon -- all this after starting as a model in music videos.

Kim Kardashian's doing a bit of well-deserved gloating about her latest prized possession -- the Janet Jackson outfit she got to wear in the perfect place … a Janet Jackson concert.

The SKIMS founder dumped a bunch of pics of herself out with sister Khloe Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner ... but the real star in the snaps is that 'fit! Kim and co. caught one of Janet's SoCal shows last week, and while thousands of fans cheered on the icon, only Kim was rocking an iconic look!

For the evening out, Kim wore the outfit made famous by Janet in her “If” music video – black crop top with white boning, lace-up black pants, etc. -- which the reality TV star bought at an auction for $25,000 a while back.

Celine Dion's battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome took a toll on her physically and mentally ... with the singer admitting she grew resentful of her own name.

The singer opened up about her health journey for a sit down with "Today" -- explaining the impact her disorder has had on her. While she was hesitant to speak out about her diagnosis, she eventually shared her health news with the world in December 2022 ... telling Hoda she felt like she was "lying to the people who got me where I am today."

She recalled first struggling with the disorder when her late husband, René Angélil, was battling throat cancer -- forcing her to ignore early warning signs as she was focusing on family at the time.

Taylor Swift is known for her adoring fans ... but there was an alleged black sheep among Swifties in Scotland over the weekend and the police were forced to take action.

The pop superstar hit the stage for her sold-out Saturday concert at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh – and while she was performing, some 64-year-old man in attendance allegedly committed a perverted crime.

Scotland Police Superintendent David Happs confirmed to TMZ ... the man was arrested and charged with voyeurism during the show, but it's unclear if Taylor was the target or someone else.

Kane Brown meted out some serious punishment to a spectator who flipped him off during his Georgia concert ... He apparently had the dude kicked out of the stadium!

The country singer was performing at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Saturday when a guy in the crowd flipped off Kane, who rightfully got offended.

Check out the video ... Kane stopped in the middle of his song to beckon the man to come closer to the stage.

Simon Cowell's gearing up to search high and low to discover the next One Direction -- and one former boy bander has a few ideas about how Simon can make lightning strike twice.

O-Town member Erik-Michael Estrada joined us on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and said one of the most important factors in forming the perfect modern-day boy band is diversity.

He pointed out while bands in the '90s and '00s -- like his and Backstreet Boys -- were quite diverse, bands before them were frustratingly either R&B or pop ... there was no in-between.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading for divorce, Carrie Underwood is heading for cover and Ryan Garcia is heading for legal trouble.

First up, on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles dive into what's going on with Bennifer 2.0 ... and it doesn't sound good, at least as far as their rocky marriage is concerned.

Funkmaster Flex doesn't care about understanding the music generation gap -- he's calling Tommy Richman's hit, "Million Dollar Baby" garbage, and says the same about YOU ... if you think the song is hot!!!

A social media user caught wind of Flex giving an unhinged review of "Million Dollar Baby" while on the air at Hot 97 ... calling any, and everyone, requesting the track a straight-up clown.

'MDB' is clearly Tommy's biggest hit -- it peaked at No. 2 in May on the Billboard Hot 100 right behind Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" -- but the VA native has been making music since 2016.

1:38 PM PT -- At a hearing Monday, the judge presiding over this case ended up siding with Madonna's legal team -- namely, there was clearly NO settlement that had been struck, and some kind of miscommunication occurred. He struck the settlement notice, and the case will proceed.

The plaintiffs now have until July to respond to Madonna's motion to dismiss.

Madonna's lawyer is firing back after plaintiffs in her delayed concert lawsuit claimed a settlement had been reached between them ... which he says is absolute bull crap.

Carrie Underwood capped off her concert this weekend by belting out tunes in the rain -- but there was an even more dramatic finish as she was exiting the stage ... 'cause she fell.

The singer was the headlining performance Sunday night at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach -- where she put on one helluva show that ended up getting highlighted by the fact there was a downpour that seemed to come out of nowhere toward the end.

As much of a spectacle as that was ... there was something else that caught fans' attention as Carrie was making her way offstage -- and that would be her going down, seemingly hard. Even crazier is the fact that it was caught on video ... and we got a hold of the footage.

Billie Eilish says she's been ghosted before -- in fact, it happened recently ... by some dude she says she knew for a long time, who just decided to cut her out one random day.

The singer shared a recent interpersonal horror story on the BBC podcast "Miss Me?" -- telling hosts Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver about the craziest instance of ghosting she's ever experienced ... which happened just half a year ago.

Billie says she was talking to a guy back in December and they were on the phone one day, making a plan to hang out. She says she invited him over to her house, gave him a time and sent the address ... but the guy never showed and went radio silent.
