Disney ain't gonna be singing "YMCA" anytime soon -- 'cause the wife of the most famous member of the Village People is taking the entertainment behemoth to court ... alleging they blackballed the band from booking gigs at its theme parks.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Karen Willis -- the wife of Victor Willis and manager of the VP trademark for live performances -- filed suit against the Mouse House late last year for what she claims was outright hostile treatment of her hubby and another original member.

The issue all stems from a couple performances Willis says the Village People were hired for in 2018 -- when she says Disney booked 'em to do their thing at Disney World in FL.

12:10 PM PT -- A rep for Firerose tells TMZ … "Billy Ray’s story keeps evolving and this filing is simply another abusive tactic to distract away from the serious, true allegations brought against him, backed by an abundance of evidence. The only individuals supporting his false claims are those on his payroll, whose credibility is questionable."

Then went on to say ... "The audacity to question a BRCA-positive women’s [sic] decision to undergo a preventative surgery further shows the kind of cruel manipulation Firerose was subjected to. What Billy Ray fails to recognize is when you have a decades-long history of emotional and psychological abuse, people start to take notice. The truth will come to light."

Billy Ray Cyrus is pushing back against his estranged wife's claim he abandoned their marriage just one day before her scheduled double mastectomy ... telling a different story.

The country star filed a legal response to Firerose's allegations Monday ... claiming her surgery was actually scheduled for June 6 last year, not May 24 as she alleged. What's more, he alleges she set it for this date as a calculated move for her to tarnish his career by threatening to attribute their split to her double mastectomy.

He claims she said to him, "If you even think about divorcing me right now, I will tell everyone that you did it because of the double mastectomy and your career will be over."

Celine Dion is giving folks a raw look at her health crisis in her new documentary ... in the form of a 10-minute scene showing her suffering a seizure, and it's painful and emotional.

The footage shows a frantic Celine crying and screaming out in pain as her body flails around uncontrollably ... and it's agonizing to watch. Yet, Celine clearly wanted this out there -- chronicling it all on camera for this doc, to give the public an inside look at the grueling nature of what she's enduring.

Celine's getting a consultation for her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis when her body goes into crisis mode ... and she's laid down on a table suffering the seizure as a camera crew captures it all.

Katy Perry's using Paris Fashion Week to plug her upcoming single, 'cause her unique gown's giving up some major details about the highly anticipated song.

Check it out ... the pop star steps out of a town car in Paris wearing a bright red dress featuring an immensely long train -- which just so happens to include the lyrics to her new track, "Woman's World."

Fans were about ready to roar when they saw the look ... as Katy has only released a small snippet of her first new music in years.

Bhad Bhabie's motherhood version of living her best life looks a lot like it did before she had a kid ... twerking like there's no tomorrow and making the most of L.A.'s scorching summer on a yacht.

The rapper, who gave birth in March, rocked a sizzling black bikini, flaunting her inked figure in a carousel of IG vids and pics ranging from boat parties to wild nights out.

Naturally, she snapped a cheeky close-up of a girls backside with bills flying everywhere -- but she also had some cute shots of her baby girl, Kali, to keep things a touch family-friendly.

Travis Kelce ain't trying to have bad blood with Taylor Swift's exes ... that much is clear, based on the artful sidestep he made when 2 of her former BFs awkwardly came up in conversation.

During the NFL star's appearance on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, Travis was asked about Taylor's mega-hit, "Karma" -- the one where she sings about a "guy on the screen coming straight home to me" ... or, at least, that's the OG line.

For the non-Swifties out there, it's a reference to British actor Joe Alwyn.

Drake's summer vibes aren't high right now ... and they certainly didn't get any better on Monday, as he lost a massive $500k bet after Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final!

The Toronto-based rapper put down a $500,000 wager on the Edmonton Oilers (vs. Florida Panthers) to win the country's first Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadians did it back in 1993. Unfortunately for Drake and our friends up north, the wait will continue.

The Panthers took game seven by a final score of 2-1 ... handing Drake an L.

The Florida Panthers won their first-ever Stanley Cup on Monday night, and perhaps nobody was happier to see it than golf star Brooks Koepka, who celebrated the dub with a boozy night in Nashville!!

Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov and Sergei Bobrovsky got the job done in Sunrise ... beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 of the Final, 2-1 -- and while Koepka couldn't be there in person, he certainly didn't let the moment pass by quietly while he was out in Tennessee.

Watching from a bar in the Music City, Koepka went crazy as soon as the clock hit 0:00 on the Panthers' season.

Seth Binzer -- the lead singer and co-founder of the rap rock band Crazy Town -- has died.

Better known by his stage name Shifty Shellshock, Binzer passed away Monday at a residence in L.A., according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of death.

In 1999, Binzer and fellow vocalist, Bret "Epic" Mazur, formed Crazy Town, hiring Rust Epique, Doug Miller, James Bradley Jr., Antonio Lorenzo Valli and Adam Goldstein.

The rookie cop who arrested Justin Timberlake for DWI is soaking up summer in the Hamptons ... and doesn't seem the least bit concerned by his newfound fame.

Michael Arkinson -- the Sag Harbor police officer who pulled over Justin and took him to jail -- spent his Sunday Funday on a boat, about an hour north of where he busted JT. If you didn't know, he and his partner, Otis, are cited in the police report as the arresting officers ... but Mike's getting credit as the guy who brought Justin in for booking.

Anyway ... check out these photos/videos, obtained by TMZ, showing a sometimes shirtless Arkinson sitting in a power boat docked at a restaurant in Greenport, NY over the weekend.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are taking the next step, Dave Grohl's taking shots and Ryan Garcia's no longer taking punches ... all this on today's hot takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Charles and Babcock explain what led to Travis getting on stage at Taylor's concert across the pond.

Morgan Wallen got a face full of thong during a recent concert, when a fan threw the underwear garment at him as he performed on stage ... and it's all on video!!!

It's pretty funny ... Morgan was doing his thing at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis when all of a sudden a blue thong comes flying towards him, landing on his face -- with a little coverage from his hat.

The panties carom off Morgan's dome and then he catches them with one hand like Randy Moss before finishing the lyric like nothing happened. We'll admit ... it's all pretty smooth.

Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated or otherwise under the influence during a concert last month -- this despite the internet thinking they found a gotcha clip ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... a resurfaced viral video that appears to show JT looking what some have suggested is "under the influence" or out of sorts is simply being over-analyzed way too much by folks looking to unfairly condemn the guy.

While online trolls have said Justin looks out of sorts in this clip -- which was filmed and posted in May during one of his Vegas concerts, and which has since gone viral in the wake of his DWI arrest -- our sources tell us he wasn't even close to that state of mind.

Jennifer Lopez is becoming super relatable amid her marital woes with Ben Affleck ... getting back to her Jenny From The Block roots with some commercial air travel.

Check out these photos/video, obtained by TMZ, showing J Lo's mode of transportation over in Europe ... and no, this ain't a private jet -- it's a regular old airplane full of a bunch of normies, on which she flew Saturday going from Naples to Paris.

The singer/actress was in the cabin with everyone else, and had a bodyguard sitting next to her ... taking up aisle duty while she occupied the window seat, minding her business.

50 Cent will be front and center for the Earn Your Leisure's Invest Fest in Atlanta -- TMZ Hip Hop can reveal the booming businessman is this year's headliner!!!

The event is right up 50's alley ... he and attorney Ben Crump recently went to Washington, D.C. in the name of Black entrepreneurship, pushing for minority representation in the alcohol biz ... and we're told he'll speak to that topic and much more during the annual event.

Even more fittingly, 50 will succeed Diddy, who hosted last year's Invest Fest, and we all know how "competitive" he's been with Puff for years, and especially lately ... in the wake of the latter's slew of legal issues.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is one of the hottest tracks on the planet, and Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. says a diss track winning a Grammy might not be conventional ... but now it's definitely possible!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke with the Grammy czar Monday at LAX, where he told us he's been feeling the cultural avalanche of "Not Like Us," just like everyone else is.

K. Dot shot the music video in Compton over the weekend, and its release will inevitably breathe new life into the song -- which, while being extremely danceable, is still primarily, a huge shot at Drake.
