Sabrina Carpenter's getting some free promotion on the roadways ... 'cause a fan pimped out their ride as a tribute to her -- complete with a huge photo covering the back window.

Here's the deal ... several TikTokers are posting vids of "The Sab Cab" -- a BMW outfitted with a bunch of stickers and other tributes to Sabrina Carpenter -- rolling down the road.

Check it out ... "Jesus Was A Carpenter" and "Honk If You Love Espresso" is written on the back along with the vehicle's unofficial name jazzing up the trunk ... and a stretched picture of the album cover for "Short n' Sweet" with a big American flag on the rear window.

Justin Bieber sounds like he's getting closer to releasing new music for the first time in over three years ... because he's been hitting the studio with a guitar hero.

Fresh off becoming a first-time father, Justin is collaborating with highly regarded indie musician Mk.gee.

The breakout artist is the subject of a new New York Times profile, where he's hailed as an "unlikely guitar God" chasing the "promise of pop" ... and in the interview, Mk.gee reveals he's working with the Biebs.

Katy Perry's house doesn't need a chore wheel ... 'cause she's got a different way to motivate her fiancé Orlando Bloom -- one that would make the "Hawk Tuah" Girl proud.

The singer-songwriter chatted with Alex Cooper on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... and, revealed her love language is acts of service -- both giving and receiving, it sounds like.

KP says she doesn't need a fancy Ferrari -- she can buy her own, thank you very much -- but, she says when her partner does the dishes, cleans the kitchen and closes the pantry doors, he'd better be ready for the pop star to give his sensitive area a deep clean.

Moneybagg Yo just added an extra layer to his lavish rap lyrics ... with a new grill for his mouthpiece that has him cheesing from ear to ear!!!

5 Star Smiles CEO Danielle Noguera tells TMZ Hip Hop -- Moneybagg was in her Miami dental office last Friday, where he got fitted for his new golden chompers -- $100K in total!!!

The Memphis rapper had 4-carat VVS diamonds installed in the teeth as well ... and couldn't wait to hop on FaceTime with his friends to show off the fancy work.

Travis Kelce's reps are on the ball when it comes to shutting down this viral Taylor Swift breakup rumor ... even enlisting legal help to tackle the drama head-on.

Here's the skinny ... an alleged "Comprehensive Media Plan" from the NFL star's reps at Full Scope Public Relations made the rounds online Tuesday night, seemingly suggesting Travis and Taylor's "Love Story" was all fabricated for press -- and that there was even a plan to break up on September 28.

It didn't take long for the one-sheet to go viral online ... especially since so many Swifties believe the pop star has finally found "The One" with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Megan Thee Stallion scored a No. 1 hit in the form of a Nicki Minaj diss song to kick off her year -- the opening of the 2024 Rap Wars she has no clue how she got involved in!!!

In her new cover interview with Billboard, Megan admitted she was happy if she inspired a spark in competitive -- and combative -- rapping with the January release of "Hiss," which was followed by spats between Chris Brown vs. Quavo, Eminem vs. Benzino and Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar ... and of course, everyone else.

Nicki wasted no time responding with her own acidic diss "Big Foot" -- but Megan says it's anyone's guess what initially caused the rift ... "I still to this day don’t know what the problem is. I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is," she said.

Katy Perry has defended her decision to involve Dr. Luke in her upcoming album ... noting the music producer was one of many to help bring the new project to life.

The singer was asked to address the controversy on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast after fans called her out for working with him again ... after his lengthy legal battle with Kesha -- who infamously accused DL of rape and abuse years ago.

For the record, Dr. Luke has vehemently denied the allegations and even sued Kesha for defamation. Luke and Kesha agreed on a settlement last year.

Elton John is on the mend ... from a severe eye infection he says has left him with limited vision in one eye.

Elton says his road to recovery has been "an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye."

The love story between Taylor Swift and the National Football League is back for a second season ... because the NFL is promoting the pop star more than the game's best player.

The NFL just released a promo video for the 2024 season ahead of Thursday's opening game, and Taylor has the lion's share of screen time ... making five appearances in a 28-second clip.

Taylor is shown more than any player in the league, and the NFL doesn't show Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes until the very end ... when he's seen hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Sid Wilson's first show back with Slipknot barely a week and a half after suffering severe burns all over his body -- which left the poor dude bedridden -- was painful and freakin' scary … but it also kicked major ass, he tells TMZ!

As we previously reported ... the DJ and keyboardist severely burned his face and arms when a burn pile blew up in a mishap at his home in Iowa ... but he made it clear from the jump he was determined not to let his condition get in the way of touring with the iconic heavy metal band.

And, that is exactly what Sid did ... explaining to TMZ that his first show back was super uncomfortable physically, and mentally taxing ... but thanks to his determination -- and his partner Kelly Osbourne acting as his private nurse -- SW was back spinning over the weekend.

Beyond the pain and serious threat of infection ... Sid tells us new skin growing on his hands is tightening his digits ... and he kinda needs those to work perfectly ... so there is a lot of stretching going down.

His doctors are not thrilled he is out touring … but SW tells us he is taking the risks seriously and doing more than what is required to protect himself … slathering on twice as much ointment and changing bandages more often than necessary.

Sid totally rocked his mask ... but since there is no way he can currently wear black stage makeup underneath ... he is also donning a hood.

Taylor Swift appears to really be entering into her offensive coordinator era ... Travis Kelce just confirmed she is, in fact, drawing up Chiefs plays!!

The popstar's boyfriend broke it all down on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Tuesday -- just days after his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, said Swift has been working on some X's and O's on the whiteboard.

Kelce revealed his boo takes everything she does seriously -- and that includes her football fandom -- so she is, indeed, learning how to move chess pieces around the gridiron.

Cardi B and Offset put on a friendly front at their son Wave's birthday bash this weekend ... but TMZ has learned the rappers are still very much broken up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Cardi and Offset's divorce is still on and moving forward, despite their recent reunion at DreamWorks Water Park inside American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ.

We're told the divorce remains an amicable one ... which is why they're OK being in the same space while celebrating their children -- including daughter Kulture, son Wave, and an unborn little one on the way.

Sabrina Carpenter's runaway "Espresso" hit song has brewed into a No. 1 album for the singer in a photo finish -- only beating Travis Scott's "Days Before Rodeo" retro release by 600 units!!!

The Billboard 200 officially released the nail-biter results for this week on Tuesday -- after a down-to-the-wire delay due to the Labor Day holiday.

Sabrina had previously promised a victory to avenge Nicki Minaj against Travis -- his 2018 "Astroworld" album versus Nicki's "Queen" album was a showdown for the ages -- and you can see just how close Sabrina's "Short n' Sweet" narrowly got the job done!

11:52 AM PT -- James Rosemond Jr., Ice Spice's manager, says he spoke to Cleotrapa's manager after her posts went viral ... they both agree Cleo handled the situation poorly, especially since she doesn't understand industry politics!!!

Ice Spice has lost yet another BFF, who's claiming to being used as a loop in her BB Belt -- and her enemies just might be teaming up!!!

Rapper Cleotrapa used her Labor Day Weekend to completely unload on Ice Spice ... dropping a 45-minute TikTok video where she accused the "Munch" rapper of being a fake friend ... and claiming she experienced less-than-VIP treatment as the opening act on Ice's Y2K Tour.

According to Cleo, she had to foot the bill for her own hotels and meal per diem ... and was forced to use stinky bathrooms as her dressing rooms.

Paris Hilton is putting blood, sweat and tears into her new music video ... catching a bloody knee injury on set after her recent catastrophic trailer fire.

The heiress gave a glimpse into her latest challenge shooting the "Bad Bitch Academy" music video ... which included a cut to her knee that required medical attention ... before filming could resume.

Watch the vid ... Paris is seen taking a closer look at her blood-covered knee, asking those on set if there's glass inside the wound -- the foreign object turns out to be a rogue sequin ... likely detached from her shimmery silver outfit on the shoot.
