Ozzy Osbourne is trying to make things right with Britney Spears after roasting her IG videos -- but he can’t resist tossing her a bit of dance advice.

The Black Sabbath rocker dropped his regret on Monday’s "The Osbournes Podcast" ... but still advised her to switch up her moves to make it less burdening to watch -- well, for him anyway.

Ozzy boldly vented, "It would be better if you didn't do the same f***ing dance every day. Change a few movements … I love Britney Spears, but it's the same dance every day!"

Lily Allen says James Corden used to be very friendly with her before he hit the big time -- so much so, in fact, that he came off as a little desperate ... according to her anyway.

The British singer opened up about her history with James on her "Miss Me?" podcast ... claiming the comedian used to beg to hang out with her and her friends back in the day.

Lily says it all started when James came on her old chat show way back in 2008 ... in her recollection, James was super flirty and they kinda became loose friends.

Rapper Chino XL's friends and family sadly announced Monday the veteran MC died Sunday ... shattering several generations of the hip hop community.

According to his family, Chino passed away at his home, leaving behind his mother, 4 children, a stepson, 4 grandchildren and his longtime partner Stephanie.

His daughters released a group statement, saying ... "Our father had many titles -- King of Punchlines, Puerto Rican Superhero -- but the most important one was Girl Dad. And what he gave us most in that role was his strength, straightforwardness, and ability to be super realistic. The main thing we are feeling now is that our Dad is at peace, and so we are at peace.”

Two heroic teachers are fighting for their lives after being stabbed while trying to save kids at a Taylor Swift-themed party over in the UK.

Leanne Lucas sprang into action, getting kids to safety through a fire escape ... while her colleague Heidi Barlow locked others in a bathroom stall to protect them from the knife-wielding maniac who went on a rampage at the yoga and dance event in Southport Monday.

Both women are now critical condition -- with Leanne's aunt, Pauline Bennett, saying she's waiting to undergo surgery. She added all Leanne wanted to do was protect the kids, but given her small frame ... she didn't stand a chance against the knifeman.

New footage shows a UK man pacing in front of a house 20 minutes before Monday's horrific knife attack at a Taylor Swift themed dance class -- a house that was raided by cops after the massacre.

Check out the video obtained by ITV -- a young man in a green hoodie is seen pacing back and forth in the front of a home.

The attack left 3 children dead, 5 other kids in critical condition. Two adults are also in critical condition.

12:03 PM PT -- R. Kelly's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, came on 'TMZ Live' Tuesday to discuss her client's SCOTUS filing in more depth -- and she made a pretty compelling argument.

One other interesting thing ... Bonjean says she actually thinks this current version of the Supreme Court is perfect to hear R. Kelly's case -- and it sounds like believes they'd actually side with him if they were to take it up on their docket ... politics be damned!!!

R. Kelly is asking the United States Supreme Court to throw out his convictions for possession of child porn and inducing minors to have sex – claiming his alleged acts occurred decades ago and the charges were therefore barred by the statute of limitations.

Here's the deal ... when R. Kelly was accused in 2020 of possessing child pornography and engaging in sexual acts with underage girls way back in the mid to late-1990s, he argued the statute of limitations had already run its course.

But, prosecutors argued a 2003 law – called the PROTECT Act – made the statute of limitations indefinite for child sex crimes.

Democratic big wigs are attempting to corral A-list celebs to show face at the Democratic National Convention -- and one person we know they've locked down is John Legend.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... John is all in for an appearance at the convention in Chicago in a few weeks -- and while we know he's going to be participating front and center ... it's still a little hazy on how exactly he'll contribute.

In other words ... we're not sure if he'll just be speaking, singing/performing or a mix of both. Considering his political history though -- you can probably expect a little bit of everything.

Justin Timberlake may have a good defense in his DWI case, Robert Downey Jr. is making a Marvel comeback and Robbie Chosen is eyeing a new NFL team ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles explain Justin's possible ace in the hole as his lawyer tries to get his DWI case dismissed.

Britney Spears' home popped up on the market Monday -- which got her fans thinking she was ready to get the hell outta Cali ... but she isn't going anywhere, TMZ has learned.

Eagle-eyed sleuths probably noticed BS' Thousand Oaks mansion show up on real estate sites as being listed for sale Monday -- and it looked like she was trying to unload it for just under $9 million ... at least based on the public listing.

However, despite the fact this info got published and went wide everywhere -- multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the whole thing was a hack ... and Britney is NOT packing her bags.

Latto's warning Ice Spice not to engage her in lyrical warfare, and it's sound advice according to Power 106's DJ Carisma ... who says that frozen water will get evaporated with the quickness!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Carisma at Soulja Boy's birthday bash, and she played peacemaker by steering Ice away from engaging with Latto any further.

Ice recently blew off Latto saying the Atlanta rapper had been dragging out their short-lived spat, which was peppered by a few light taps on single releases along the way.

Soulja Boy is beaming with Big Leo energy and it has nothing to do with his recent comments aimed at Drake -- in fact, he says they're actually on great terms now!!!

We caught Big Draco on his 34th birthday Sunday, and he was happy to reveal he's treated himself by hopping on the Tesla Cybertruck wave!!!

SB was impressed with his electro-whip's keycard access and openly called for an Elon Musk collab ... otherwise, he vows to be the first rapper with his own vehicle.

Travis Barker is selling his plane ticket -- and considering his history, this one's a big deal.

The Blind-182 rocker put his personal boarding on the auction site Trophy for $8,000 ... and it’s Travis’ actual Qantas Airlines boarding pass from earlier this year when he went from Sydney to Perth on a commercial flight, complete with a meaningful handwritten note.

The message reads, “I know I got Angels watching over me ...” -- fitting since the '08 crash left him with third-degree burns on 65% of his body. BTW, this note is something he writes on all his boarding passes ... even before the crash, but it obviously carries more weight post-crash.

Tampa police feel like they're on the right track to solving rapper Julio Foolio's murder ... 3 people were arrested in connection with the deadly shooting and cops say they're closing in on 2 more!!!

On Monday, Tampa PD held a press conference announcing the arrests of and first-degree murder charges for Isaiah Chance, Alicia Andrews and Sean Gathright. The suspects were all nabbed in Jacksonville.

Cops also released new footage of the June 23 deadly shooting ... and it shows multiple masked gunmen zipping around the Tampa Holiday Inn parking lot, taking position in bushes and firing dozens of rounds into the vehicle carrying Julio.

1:47 PM PT -- Prince William and Kate Middleton just weighed in on the tragedy -- writing in part, "As parents, we cannot begin to imagine what the families, friends and loved ones of those killed and injured in Southport today are going through."

They went on to extend their condolences, while thanking first-responders who arrived on the scene.

12:28 PM PT -- Officials have now confirmed even more tragic news from this horrific incident -- namely, the fact that a second child has now died.

In addition to this ... cops have identified the alleged perpetrator as a 17-year-old male. His name has yet to be released -- and it's unclear if the authorities plan to do that.

A Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in the UK turned into something straight out of a horror movie ... when a mass stabbing left a young girl dead and 7 others injured.

Tupac's family is clearly disturbed over an allegation that Diddy may have played a role in the late rapper's murder -- something they're now digging into with a new legal team, who plan to get to the bottom of it, and force action if they find any there-there ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us members of Tupac's still-living relatives have retained attorneys Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore -- as well as a team of investigators -- to look into Keefe D's resurfaced allegation that Diddy offered to pay him and his crew money to take Pac out in the '90s.

You'll recall ... this claim -- which, thus far, is unsubstantiated -- came to light anew last week when prosecutors in Keefe D's murder case included an old transcript from an interview he did in '09, where he alleged Diddy was willing to pay up to $1 million for a hit on Tupac.

Selena Gomez is setting the record straight on plastic surgery rumors she's faced over the years ... and is making it clear she's never gone under the knife, but she has been needled.

The singer issued her blunt admission on TikTok this weekend ... this after a physician assistant for a plastic surgeon, named Marissa Barrionuevo, shared side-by-side photos of SG on the app -- which showed how Selena's face has changed over the years.

While the content creator noted SG's battle with lupus could've caused the star's appearance to change, Selena was still rattled ... weighing in on this in the comments.
