Tyler, The Creator had a change of heart -- and change of transmission -- toward Elon Musk during a recent performance, dissing the Tesla CEO in front of thousands of fans!!!

The Grammy winner shut down ACL Festival 2024 last weekend, and folks captured his new rendition of the 2017 "Flower Boy" track "911/Mr. Lonely" ... Tyler flipped the lyrics from "Sucks you can't gas me up / Shout out to Elon" to simply say "F*** Elon!!!"

He didn't miss a beat or slip up the delivery ... the lyric switch could have been pre-planned -- or Tyler meant it with every fiber of his soul in the moment!!!

In an effort to get the glitter freckles into Taylor's makeup bag, Aliett confessed to sending a PR package to the agency that represents the pop star's makeup artist.

Lisa Marie Presley was so heartbroken over her son Benjamin Keough's death she kept his body at home for two months, according to her new memoir, which was completed by her daughter, Riley Keough, after her own death in 2023.

In a segment from the memoir "From Here to the Great Unknown," Lisa Marie revealed she fought to stay alive for her kids, including her twin daughters Harper and Finley Lockwood, now 16 -- and that’s why she couldn’t bring herself to say goodbye to Benjamin right away.

While Lisa Marie wrestled with the decision of whether to bury Benjamin in Hawaii or at Graceland, in Tennessee -- where Elvis is buried -- she kept him in a separate casita at her home in Calabasas, California. It worked out since California doesn’t have laws requiring immediate burial.
