The actor owned the Big Apple streets Tuesday ... turning heads in a black Lillie Rubin mini dress with a bold leopard print collar, buttons, and cuffs.

Sabrina skipped none of the glamor, BTW -- her makeup was flawless, and her voluminous blowout was pure perfection.

Timothée Chalamet hit the red carpet serving looks and serious vibes at the world premiere of his Bob Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown."

The actor was channeling his inner rock star at the L.A. premiere Tuesday, rocking a black leather jacket with Bob Dylan pins, a fitted gray shirt -- and a killer 'stache, which is for his other new film, "Marty Supreme."

Timothée may be Hollywood’s heartthrob, but his leading ladies stole the show -- Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro dropped jaws with their red carpet style.

As you can see, Hailee's natural beauty shines through, especially in those bare-faced snaps where she proves makeup is totally optional.

Diane Warren's still all smiles, keeping the faith that one day that Oscar will make its way to her mantel.

We caught up with the legend herself -- after 15 near-misses, the songwriter's hoping her 16th shot after submitting her song "The Journey" will finally bring that trophy home.

Wins or losses, Diane's all about the bigger picture at the end of the day ... telling us she's beyond proud of the song, especially since it's featured in "The Six Triple Eight" -- the new Netflix film she's passionate about.

Megan Fox and Michele Morrone have fans buzzing on social media that the two could be romantically involved amid Megan's split from Machine Gun Kelly.

50 Cent is downplaying his social media onslaught on Jay-Z as simple rapper competition ... after all, he spent his own hard-earned money to make sure Ja Rule had a lousy concert!!!

The G-Unit rap star came clean during his recent trip to Big Boy's Neighborhood ... back in 2018, 50 announced he intentionally bought all the front row area seats for Ja's show in Arlington, TX -- a prank he says was easy because the tickets were cheap AF!!!

50's diabolical teasing of Ja's concert woes continued this year when he clowned his longtime nemesis for having his UK tour canceled over VISA issues.

Jay-Z's staying on the offensive against attorney Tony Buzbee ... informing a judge there's reason to believe Buzbee is pressuring potential clients to make false allegations in lawsuits.

Jay's attorney Alex Spiro says a woman reached out to his firm, Quinn Emanuel, on Monday night to share her experience with Buzbee's firm. According to a declaration filed Tuesday morning in federal court, one of Spiro's associates says she got a phone call from the woman, who said she'd previously contacted Buzbee's firm seeking representation over allegations of sex trafficking and abuse.

The woman said she reached out to Buzbee because she'd seen his solicitation for anyone who may have been a potential victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs -- but she'd made it clear her allegations were not related to Diddy.

Sabrina Carpenter may be her own No. 1 fan ... admitting her own songs made their way onto her Spotify Wrapped for 2024.

The pop star made the confession in Vogue Arabia, in which she shared she was a bit embarrassed at first to see her own tracks make it onto her personalized end-of-year roundup.

In fact, she felt like she couldn't share her Spotify Wrapped results along with her fellow pop stars ... as she initially thought the outcome was "a bit conceited."

Jay-Z's rape accuser might take the music mogul's advice and file a criminal complaint against him after slapping him with a civil suit alleging sexual assault, according to her attorney Tony Buzbee.

In a statement emailed to TMZ, Buzbee said he's not ruling out filing rape charges against Jay with New York authorities, saying ... "What happens next is up to my client. It’s her case and what she decides to do you will find out in due course."

Per New York state law, there is no statute of limitations for alleged victims to file a first-degree felony rape complaint.

Jay-Z is getting no mercy from 50 Cent, who pounced on the RocNation honcho for stepping out in Hollywood amid the lawsuit claiming he raped a 13-year-old girl.

50 wasted no time trolling ... moments after he saw Jay not only show up at Monday night's premiere for 'Mufasa,' but he happily posed for photos alongside Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, who are both in the 'Lion King' prequel.

In a post he's since deleted, 50 Cent captioned an image of the Carters at the premiere with ... "Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.”

There was already a "Countdown" to Beyoncé and Blue Ivy's appearance at the "Mufasa" premiere before Jay-Z was hit with a sexual assault allegation ... so, all eyes were on the red carpet to see if the mother-daughter duo actually showed up Monday night. Not only did they show up but Jay-Z accompanied them.

All three family members were in attendance at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where "The Lion King" prequel film had its highly anticipated premiere.

Their appearance spoke volumes in the wake of the troubling allegations against the Carter patriarch.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake's beef has officially spilled over to their producers, now that Mustard is exposing Boi-1da's Instagram DMs as being the ultimate "Not Like Us" poster child!!!

That was the sentiment on Monday when Mustard reposted Boi-1da flat out telling him "West Coast Rap is ass" ... as in the kind that shoots out poopity scoop!!!

Boi-1da rejected Mustard's rebuttal that you had to experience the WC tunes in an active environment, doubling down that Los Angeles was the only place the sound was welcomed.

Tina Knowles is making it clear she hasn't weighed in on son-in-law Jay-Z's current legal woes ... posting a pointed response after her social media activity was called out.

Beyoncé's mother posted to Instagram on Monday after reports began pointing out that the Knowles matriarch "liked" a post detailing the rape allegation made against Jay-Z and Diddy in a recent lawsuit.

However, as Tina claimed in a note shared to Instagram, she was not the person who liked the news post ... as she said she was "hacked" prior to the social media activity.

Rachel Lindsay was seen spending a lot of time this weekend with what may be a new male companion who has ties to a major A-list artist ... TMZ has learned.

Witnesses tell us the former "Bachelorette" star and Willie Jones, who collaborated on Beyonce's Cowboy Carter album, were spotted together on Friday at iHeart’s Jingle Ball in Los Angeles.

We're told the two enjoyed each other's company in the Patrón Lounge suite, where they sat closely, chatting, and laughing throughout the night. Our witnesses say when T-Pain hit the stage, the pair got up to dance.

The two continued to spend time together over the weekend. On Sunday, they were spotted shopping at the Melrose Trading Post, where a store called Blk Rchvs posted a photo of them on social media. In the snap, Willie is seen with his arm around Rachel, fueling even more questions about their status.

Jay-Z says the woman who's suing him, along with Diddy, for allegedly raping her should be forced to reveal her identity, instead of pursuing the case anonymously ... TMZ has learned.

Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro filed docs Monday morning, asking the judge to make the plaintiff reveal herself. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Spiro says "Fair is fair. It is not consistent with justice, fairness, or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear [Jay-Z]'s good name."

Further, the docs state Jay-Z's built an "impeccable reputation" and has never been accused of, or engaged in, any sexual misconduct.

Jay-Z is vowing to fight allegations he and Diddy sexually assaulted a minor to the very end ... and several big-name rap stars are reacting over the brewing legal battle!!!

As Jay and attorney Tony Buzbee fire words back and forth, 50 Cent questioned Jay's status as the producer for the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show next year ... valid points in today's "cancel culture."

Soulja Boy called big 🧢 on the accusations and argued that celebrities -- especially African Americans -- are being targeted because of their wealth and success.
