Diddy's lawyers say they've received a trove of discovery material from the government over the past 6 weeks — and they’re going after the federal prosecutors' assertion there's a possible second victim.

According to legal docs filed Friday and obtained by TMZ, Diddy's attorneys attacked the government's claim there was a potential second victim of Diddy's alleged sex trafficking operation.

As you know, the original indictment pointed specifically to one unnamed victim, who seems to be his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, based on the allegations. The feds charged Diddy with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Kid Rock is super psyched his pal Donald Trump won reelection ... and the rocker celebrated in the most Kid Rock way possible -- but also somewhat shocking.

KR posted a video to his IG ... that featured him as his stage character in a fiery red tracksuit -- donning a MAGA hat and smoking a cigar ... all set to his track, "American Rock 'n Roll."

The video was spliced with random footage of Trump ... which Kid Rock punctuated by picking up a mic -- then dropping it -- just to grab his crotch and flip off the camera.

Taylor Swift had a LOOOOONG dinner Friday night with pal Zoë Kravitz, and at the end of the evening it kinda showed!

TS and Zoe hit up Chez Margaux in NYC's Meatpacking District. The photo agency says they were there for 8 hours ... seems a little overblown, but it was apparently a long night.

On her way out, the superstar seemed a bit unsteady ... after all, how could wine not have been on the menu for a great French meal!?!

Well, the election is behind us ... at least for some. And Jason Kelce may have gotten the message, but did his brother? So we gotta ask ...

Zach Bryan's ex Brianna LaPaglia (AKA Brianna Chickenfry) is accusing her former country star beau of emotional abuse ... claiming he even offered her a $12 million NDA after their split.

We broke down the drama on "TMZ Live" ... with Harvey and Courtney theorizing what could've happened for the "Barstool Sports" personality to allegedly be offered this large a sum.

Check out the clip ... our team discussed everything Brianna shared on her "BFFs" podcast, including accusations Zach got jealous after the podcaster showed love to rival country singer, Morgan Wallen.

We doubt a reconciliation is in Briana and Zach's future after all of this!!!

Nicole Scherzinger is issuing an apology after facing backlash for praising Russell Brand's religion-inspired MAGA hat ... confessing she didn't mean to take a political stance.

The Pussycat Dolls alum posted to her Instagram Stories as word of her seemingly pro-Donald Trump social media activity went viral ... with the singer apologizing if anyone was hurt by her actions.

She wrote ... "I deeply apologize for the hurt caused by my recent engagement with some social media posts. When I commented on these posts, I made the mistake of not realizing that they could be easily interpreted as being politically related and I apologize to anyone who understandably reached that conclusion."

LANY frontman Paul Klein appears to be fully healed almost 5 months after a nasty car wreck left him hospitalized ... he was just spotted out in Australia looking better than ever.

Bhad Bhabie's boyfriend, Le Vaughn, was spotted out in public for the first time since TMZ confirmed she’s been battling cancer.

Vaughn was in Tarzana in L.A. Friday, taking a casual stroll with their baby daughter -- who they welcomed in March -- in a stroller, making the most of some one-on-one time in the sunshine.

There was no sign of Bhabie, AKA Danielle Bregoli, who we're told is currently under the care of a doctor.

Diddy's once again trying to get out of jail while awaiting his trial ... filing a new motion on Friday asking for bail -- and pointing to cases where his lawyers claim defendants facing similar charges were released.

According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the music mogul's lawyers say Diddy's offering a comprehensive bail package -- complete with a $50 million bond and basically round-the-clock surveillance to ensure he doesn't try to flee the country or intimidate witnesses.

It's a similar argument to the one they made back in September when his bail was shot down twice. But, the attorneys cite other cases where they say defendants accused of similar crimes were allowed to post bail while awaiting trial.

Many in Hollywood were disappointed with the election outcome, after Donald Trump emerged as the winner against Kamala Harris ... and it looks like some of those stars took a stroll to cope this week.

Anne Hathaway attempted to keep a low profile, wearing a neutral navy baseball hat, shades, and a white ensemble as she took some time for herself the day after the election in New York.

Andy Cohen on the other hand ... was in low-key mode after Trump's big win, taking a call while out in NYC. The "Watch What Happens Live" host donned a sweatshirt, shorts, and flip-flops after grabbing himself a venti Starbucks coffee ... a much-needed boost, it seems.

Country star Brantley Gilbert just officially offloaded his Georgia pad, scoring a cool $2.2M in the process.

Brantley first put his Maysville home on the market in July, aiming for $3.5 million. Though he didn't quite hit that mark, he still walked away with a tidy profit, considering he built the place from scratch in 2012 after buying the land for just $130K.

Real estate sources previously told us Brantley’s trading up -- he's leaving his current pad because he’s after even more space and recently snagged 300 acres of farmland nearby.

Dua Lipa's pulling a "Houdini" ... disappearing from the stage in Indonesia before the show even begins -- 'cause she says it ain't safe enough for her to perform.

The singer-songwriter announced she's canceling Saturday's show in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, about 5 hours ago ... telling fans she's enjoying the beautiful country and is ready to perform -- but a safety issue with the staging is stopping her from doing so.

DL says she was really looking forward to the show, and she's super disappointed she can't jam out with her fans in the country ... saying it especially hurts 'cause she hasn't performed in the country in a long time. She last reportedly played there in 2019.

10:15 AM PT -- A family source confirms to TMZ ... Bhad Bhabie does have cancer. She's currently under the care of a doctor.

Bhad Bhabie issued a cryptic message that has many of her fans concerned, implying that she may have cancer.

Bhabie, AKA Danielle Bregoli, hopped on Instagram Thursday and posted, "I'm Sorry my cancer medicine made me loose [sic] weight. I'm slowly gaining it back. So stop running w the worst narratives."

Of course, it's a mystery what all that means ... but Bhabie recently revealed her dramatic weight loss in photos she posted to her social media accounts.

Logic is proud of his legacy as a true school MC -- but his bank account is telling him it's time for a new wave ... spitting all that hip, hop, hippie hoppity gonna leave him broke!!! 😫

The 2025 Grammy Nominations were announced Friday and as expected, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is being considered for some of the biggest honors!!!

Kendrick's monster diss record against Drake raked in 5 nominations ... Song and Record of The Year, Best Rap Song and Performance, and Best Music Video -- the last nom being a double win for K. Dot.

He co-directed the visual with Dave Free!!!

It's no surprise Kendrick is set to headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show ... "Not Like Us" is the No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart with 21 weeks at the top ... in addition to debuting on top of the Hot 100.

It's wild to think Kendrick could go down in history for calling Drake a pedophile on digital wax -- but, if you remember, we caught up with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. right after the song took off and he had a hunch Grammy voters would be leaning toward it.

The Grammys go down Sunday, Feb. 2 in L.A. -- a week before Kendrick takes the Super Bowl stage.

Lil Durk was charged with 2 additional felony counts in his murder-for-hire plot on Friday ... the Chicago rap star is being accused of conspiracy and using interstate facilities to assist in the assassination of Quando Rondo's cousin.

Feds outlined the new charges and are essentially treating Durk as the kingpin of the operation in a superseding federal grand jury indictment.

Durk and his 5 co-defendants have yet to enter a plea ... the charges are stemming from the August 2022 shooting outside a Los Angeles gas station close to the Beverly Center shopping mall.
