Bill Gates' daughter Phoebe has made it official -- she's dating Paul McCartney's grandson, Arthur Donald!

The 21-year-old confirmed Arthur as her boyfriend while sharing a pic of him giving her a piggyback ride -- all for a photo diary of her Stanford University graduation for Nylon. She wrote, "My boyfriend, Arthur, giving me a lift post-ceremony."

Later in the evening, Phoebe shared another candid pic of her cuddling up with Arthur, gushing about how he "cleans up nicely."

Killer Mike's legal troubles are behind him ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's officially off the hook for his pre-Grammys arrest, as long as he keeps his nose clean.

Prosecutors in the L.A. City Attorney's Office tell us they will not be filing charges against Mike for his confrontation with an event security guard, back in February, which led to his citizen's arrest.

We're told he successfully completed his city attorney hearing ... after which he agreed to do some community service with a non-profit organization of his choice.

A Michael Jackson impersonator got to celebrate MJ's life by getting close to his family -- meeting Janet Jackson shortly before the 15th anniversary of his passing ... but it cost him a bundle.

Carlo Riley, an MJ tribute artist, tells TMZ ... he finally got to meet Michael's sister after one of her concerts last weekend. Janet had just performed in St. Louis, and Carlo made it to the show.

He says he also decided to fork out an extra $2,000 for the meet-and-greet experience with Janet after the concert.

Dave Portnoy is a big fan of Dave Grohl ... but he can't wrap his head around why the Foo Fighters frontman would pick a fight with Taylor Swift -- telling TMZ Sports he believes the pop superstar is the real deal on the stage.

The Barstool Sports founder -- who is very vocal about his love for T-Swift -- weighed in on the music industry's newest beef this week ... and he said going after the Swifties' "mother" is a fuse you don't want to light in the first place, but especially when it's over her performance skills.

In case you missed it, the Foos were having a concert across the pond in London over the weekend -- right in the middle of Taylor's takeover in the same city. While onstage, Grohl referenced the "Eras" tour, then said errors are bound to happen when musicians actually play live music -- implying the pop star's shows are mainly supported by recordings.

Britney Spears has not reconciled with her children, despite reports to the contrary.

Stories have surfaced 18-year-old Sean Preston and 17-year-old Jayden James have seen their mom and have been communicating for months. Sources with direct knowledge beg to differ.

We're told the kids have had one convo with Britney -- on Mother's Day, but that's it. As for Britney visiting her kids when she traveled to Hawaii several times this year ... we're told that's not true -- the kids have not seen her for nearly 3 years.

Katy Perry stole a page out of Bianca Censori's fashion playbook as she went topless at Wednesday's Balenciaga show in Paris.

The singer made her semi-naked entrance at the event during Haute Couture Fashion Week -- and it was hard for anyone to keep their eyes off of her.

Katy just sizzled, showing off a lot of skin from the waist up, while wearing a long fur coat, leggings, boots and sunglasses. To top it off, her body was in perfect shape as she flaunted her rock-hard abs for the paparazzi.

Justin Timberlake got perhaps the most important public show of support since his DWI arrest last week ... and it came from his wife.

Jessica Biel was among the thousands who showed up Tuesday night at JT's Madison Square Garden concert. This was an unmistakable symbol of their unity in the face of an embarrassing misstep that made him worry the tour would collapse.

As we reported, when Justin was arrested in Sag Harbor last week, he groused to the cop, "This is going to ruin the tour." By all indications, he was wrong.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just celebrated 18 years of marriage -- and one stunning image captured their beautiful relationship.

The legendary actress posted an Instagram photo Tuesday, showing herself barefoot in a patterned dress lying back across a stone wall with a picturesque view of a foggy blue ocean. Her musician husband was sitting next to her while strumming an acoustic guitar.

In the caption, Nicole wrote, "Forever ❤️ #happyanniversary"

Boyd Tinsley is facing new legal woes -- 'cause the famous violinist was arrested for DUI after allegedly having a run-in with another car ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the Dave Matthews Band alum was busted Monday in Rio, VA after officers responded to a 2-vehicle crash. We're told cuffs were slapped on Boyd after about 20 minutes ... this after cops say they suspected he was driving under the influence.

Obviously, the narrative's a bit murky -- but we've got video of Tinsley interacting with police on the scene, and have more of an understanding of what might've happened here.

Sunny Hostin says it's humanizing to see Jennifer Lopez flying commercial, and a sure sign she can still be a humble girl from the Bronx ... even though she's a world away from "the block."

We got Sunny Tuesday outside ABC Studios in NYC, where our photog asked her about the images we got of J Lo sitting in a window seat on an Air France flight from Italy to France. Now, she was flying business class, but it's still a far cry from her usual private jet lifestyle.

Sunny says the commercial air travel makes Jennifer more like a woman of the people ... and she likes the fact the singer/actress/dancer can still fly among the normies, despite all her fame and fortune.

Diddy's guitar autographed with his former Puff Daddy moniker is going up on the auction block -- and experts are watching to see if his public downfall helps or hurts the final price.

GottaHaveRockAndRoll is expecting upwards of $2K to be splashed out on the electric guitar that boasts the inscription "Luv, Puff Daddy, Bad Boy 4 Life" in silver felt-tip pen -- a nod to his 2001 hit song with that title, and the mogul's label Bad Boy Records ... home to rap legends like Notorious B.I.G.

The instrument comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity, and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity ... so, bidders know they're getting the real thing.

Can you guess which Hollywood hunk threw his sexy summer tum on social media? The shredded singer and hot zaddy shared some tooth-brushing techniques before hitting the studio ... but can you guess who the celeb is behind the incredible Instagram shot?

Chris Brown is bringing a lot to the table when it comes to his manhood -- at least that's what the internet thinks after seeing these clips of him onstage ... understandable, TBH.

CB has been on tour of late ... and during one of his recent concerts in Toronto, he was suspended in the air while singing -- with a harness hooked up around his waist/legs ... which pulled on his pants, creating an imprint near his crotch. And yes, everyone noticed.

Take a look ... Chris is up there being twirled around, but all anyone was able to focus on from down below was what was going on in his pelvic region -- namely, a massive bulge.

Bret "Epic" Mazur -- who formed Crazy Town with Shifty Shellshock -- talked to his late ex-bandmate a few months before he died ... and says SS seemed upbeat about the future.

We caught up with Epic Tuesday in the studio -- and he tells TMZ ... Shifty was actually stoked about making new music when they last spoke over the phone, and there was no indication Shifty was in a bad space, or going through something out of the ordinary.

TMZ broke the story ... cops are looking into Shifty's sudden death Monday as a possible fatal overdose. But based on what his former bandmate's saying here ... Seth was far from that reality.

Gayle King's continuing to stick by Justin Timberlake through his DWI drama ... slamming cancel culture for pouncing on people over one misstep, which is what she considers this.

We caught Gayle King in NYC Tuesday, and she reiterated her stance that initially caught flak -- namely, defending JT. While she doesn't condone drunk driving, which she clarified again here, she also says this doesn't make Justin a reckless or irresponsible person.

Gayle admits it was (allegedly) a huge blunder on JT's part -- but she thinks he's genuinely regretful ... even though his attorney has telegraphed a different vibe. Either way ... GK's tired of trying to cancel people so freaking quickly over single, high-profile slip-ups.

Crazy Town frontman Shifty Shellshock's sudden death is under investigation ... and law enforcement sources tell us cops are looking into the possibility of a fatal drug overdose.

We're told police and fire responded to Shifty's L.A. area home Monday afternoon, after someone stopped by the house and found his body on the floor.

Our sources say drug paraphernalia and a lighter were found near the body ... which is why police are treating his death as a possible OD.
