Shawn Mendes is moving on from Camila Cabello with a mystery "Señorita," ... who he got cozy with during a dinner date.

The "Stitches" singer was joined by an unidentified brunette at the E.P. & L.P. Rooftop & Restaurant in West Hollywood Tuesday -- with the source telling TMZ the pair were instantly touchy-feely upon entering the eatery.

Check out the snap for yourself ... his companion has her arm tightly slung around him -- a possible attempt to ward off other admirers?

Marking her territory or not, we're told the duo was smiling, canoodling, and chatting the night away -- basically doing everything but locking lips ... so the potential new lovers may be taking things slow.

An hour and a half later, Shawn and his plus one left the venue together, it was added to TMZ.

This is Shawn's first romantic link since splitting with ex-Harmonizer Camila in June.

They initially began dating in 2019 ... even quarantining together during the pandemic before calling it a day in November 2021.

Earlier this year, they gave their romance another stab ... enjoying a steamy snog at Coachella and some hand-in-hand strolls in the Big Apple.

Shawn Mendes está pasando de Camila Cabello con una misteriosa "Señorita", con quien se puso cariñoso durante una cena.

La estrella de "Stitches" se reunió con una morena no identificada en el E.P. & L.P. Rooftop & Restaurant en West Hollywood el martes y una fuente nos comentó que la pareja fue muy cariñosa al entrar al restaurante.

Échale un vistazo a la instantánea por ti mismo, su compañera tiene su brazo alrededor de él, un posible intento de ahuyentar a las admiradoras.

Marcando su territorio o no, nos dicen que el dúo estaba sonriendo, canoodling, y charlando toda la noche - básicamente haciendo todo menos cerrar los labios ... por lo que los nuevos amantes potenciales pueden estar tomando las cosas con calma.

Una hora y media más tarde, Shawn y su más uno dejó el lugar juntos, se añadió a TMZ.

Este es el primer romance de Shawn desde que se separó de su ex compañera Camila en junio.

Comenzaron a salir en 2019, incluso pasaron la cuarentena juntos durante la pandemia antes de terminar en noviembre de 2021.

A principios de este año, le dieron a su romance otra puñalada, disfrutando de un beso en Coachella y algunos paseos de la mano en la Gran Manzana.

Ras Kass has made peace with his drunken ball drop with Jay-Z from years ago, but now that he knows what he knows ... he'd opt for the $500K in the Jay dinner debate.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the West Coast MC Wednesday night at Projector L.A.'s Halloween bash, where he told us his wounds from ruining his chance to spearhead Jay's label have long healed.

But, he's learned a valuable lesson: All up-and-coming rappers better be ready to lose themselves at ANY given moment.

And, steer clear of all wack hip hop!!!

RK met up with Jay in NYC in the early 2000s in hopes of being the flagship artist for the developing Roc-A-Fella West label division.

When they arrived at their club destination, RK says paranoia crept in as he got the hunch he and Jay could end up fighting -- so he began downing some liquid courage.

No club brawls took place, but when Jay introduced RK on the mic, he was too slizzard to nail his rhymes ... and Jay lost his number!!!

In hindsight, RK tells us he forgot the real reason he was there that night, and fumbled the bag -- but there's no hard feelings.

While he praises Jay for his shrewd business sense, Ras Kass has no shame in his game ... he says he'd definitely take the imaginary $500K over a second chance meeting with the mogul.

Hey, that's exactly what Jay's advising everyone to do!!!

Offset's long-awaited album "Set It Off" has finally dropped … and he celebrated with a club bash blowout featuring Cardi B as the ultimate hype woman!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage from inside Offset’s album release party Thursday night at Poppy in West Hollywood. Cardi got the crowd amped as she dished out tequila shots.

However, Cardi wasn't about to let fans drink on an empty stomach … passing out heaping helpings of Shake Shack for the crowd. Cardi was definitely having a good time, at one point spilling some of the drink all over herself.

R&B star Mario was also in the building, and Bronny James was spotted soaking up the album.

Cardi told fans she's a big fan of the Don Toliver-featured track “Worth It,” and we’re told that will be the album’s next single ... always good to keep wifey happy.

Outside the club, the raunchy couple turned up to their “Freaky” duet — Cardi’s second "Set It Off" album contribution in addition to the previously released “Jealousy.”

Tom Sandoval le mostró sus pasos prohibidos en la pista de baile a una misteriosa mujer en un bar de Tennessee. Al parecer funcionó ya que se fueron juntos.

TMZ obtuvo un video de la estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" en la pista de baile con una morena misteriosa.

La gente que estuvo allí nos dijo que Tom estaba en el Whiskey Row de Dierks Bentley en Nashville, donde Tom se acercó por primera vez a la mujer mientras bailaba con sus amigos.

Nos informaron que la mujer parecía dudar al principio, pero luego empezó a bailar con Tom. Poco a poco se acercaron el uno al otro y estuvieron así durante unos 30 minutos.

Como se puede ver en el video, el baile es un poco incómodo al principio, ya que no pueden ponerse de acuerdo en como es que se debe girar con la pareja.

Suena como que pueden haber congeniado sin embargo ... porque se nos dice Tom y la mujer terminó dejando el bar juntos.

La última vez que vimos a Tom fue a principios de septiembre, cuando salía de un bar en West Hollywood con la cantante y compositora Tii tomados de la mano y entrelazando los dedos mientras volvían a su casa.

Here's Tom Sandoval putting the moves on a woman he took an interest in at a Tennessee bar ... dancing with her before leaving together.

TMZ obtained video of the "Vanderpump Rules" star hitting the dance floor with a mystery brunette ... and it looks like there were sparks.

Folks who were there tell us Tom was at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Nashville, where Tom first approached the woman as she was dancing with her friends.

We're told the woman seemed hesitant at first, but then she started dancing with Tom ... and they started warming up to one another and things got wilder and wilder as they danced for about 30 minutes.

As you see in the video, it's a little awkward at first as they try and feel each other out ... with Tom trying to get her to twirl.

Sounds like they may have hit it off though ... because we're told Tom and the woman ended up leaving together. We don't know where they went.

The last time we saw Tom out was in early September when he was leaving a bar in West Hollywood with singer-songwriter Tii ... holding hands and interlocking fingers as they went back to his place.

No word about how things worked out with Tom and Tii ... but he's not known as a one-woman man.

Do you think Tom Sandoval will announce a new relationship in the next 6 months? Vote below.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han puesto a Kansas City de cabeza. Supuestos avistamientos han causado que cientos de fans se agolpen en los negocios locales sin razonamiento alguno.

Por ejemplo, una multitud masiva se formó afuera de Free State Brewing Company en Lawrence el lunes, después de que la oleada de rumores decidiera que Taylor y Travis estaban cenando allí. Un empleado de la cervecería nos dijo que hicieron saber a los Swifties que ellos no estaban allí, pero los fans no se lo creían.

Esto se ha convertido en un juego tipo Whac-A-Mole, que los negocios locales están utilizando para el marketing viral.

The Dentists In Lawrence publicó: "Se rumorea que Taylor Swift pasó a hacerse una limpieza dental después de salir hoy de Free State Brewery".

Los Kansas Rebels Baseball Class de 2030 también entraron en acción, escribiendo: "Nos gustaría abordar el supuesto rumor de que Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce fueron vistos en la práctica con los Rebels esta tarde".

El Programa de Trabajo para el Éxito de Lawrence puso esto: "¡¡¡Taylor Swift estaba tan intrigada con la clase!!! Muy atenta. ¡Ella es una gran oyente y ofreció algunos consejos maravillosos! No puedo creer los rumores de que ella se tomara el tiempo para pasar por algunas de las pequeñas empresas Lawrence!"

Como informamos, la línea de ropa KidSuper sacó provecho de la atención mundial que Taylor y Travis han estado recibiendo, cambiando el nombre del outfit que Travis llevaba puesto mientras fue visto con Taylor por el de su álbum "1989".

El truco, obviamente, funcionó, porque la chaqueta de la compañía ya se agotó.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have turned Kansas City upside down ... false sightings have caused swarms of fans to descend on local businesses, and there's no reasoning with them.

A massive crowd formed outside Free State Brewing Company in Lawrence, KS Monday, after the rumor mill decided Taylor and Travis were dining there. An employee at the brewery told us they let the Swifties know T&T were not in the house, but fans weren't buying it.

It's become a Whac-A-Mole-type game, one local businesses are using for viral marketing.

The Dentists In Lawrence posted, "Rumor has it Taylor Swift stopped by to get her teeth cleaned after she left Free State Brewery today."

The Kansas Rebels Baseball Class of 2030 got in on the action, writing, "We would like to address the alleged rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted at practice with the Rebels this afternoon."

The Lawrence Work for Success Program put this out ... "Taylor Swift was so intrigued with class!!! Very attentive. She's a great listener and offered some wonderful advice! Can't believe the rumors that she took the time to stop by some of the Lawrence small business!"

As we reported, clothing line KidSuper cashed in on the worldwide attention Taylor and Travis have been getting ... by changing the name of the 'fit Travis was wearing while spotted with Taylor to align with her "1989" album.

That stunt obviously worked, because the company's jacket already sold out.

BTW, the brewery manager tells us Taylor's fans weren't great customers -- they were doing a lot more "stalking" than buying.

La drag queen que actuó en el bar de propiedad del tipo que acarició las tetas de la representante Lauren Boebert tiene un pequeño secreto sucio sobre ellos.

TMZ habló con Kendra Matic, la única drag performer que subió al escenario en el bar de Aspen de Quinn Gallagher (la cita de Boebert) en enero, y nos dio un montón de información sobre esta saga que nadie parece haber sabido hasta ahora.

Para empezar, Kendra nos dijo que apoya 100% a Quinn, a quien define como un gran tipo, con el que sin duda volvería a trabajar si la llamara para otro espectáculo. Kendra dice que la actuación de este año salió muy bien e insiste en que QG tiene un buen corazón.

Es por el cariño que le tiene a Quinn que Kendra no puede entender su relación con la congresista republicana, y sí, estamos usando ese término especialmente aquí.

De cualquier modo, de acuerdo con Kendra, Boebert y Gallagher había estado saliendo por un tiempo, algo de lo que varios en la zona eran conscientes, según ella. Por lo tanto, la idea de que este habría sido el primer encuentro entre ellos parece ser falsa.

Vamos a dejar que Kendra hable por sí misma sobre lo que puede o no revelar de los chismes sobre RLB y Quinn en la ciudad, pero digamos que en una ciudad pequeñas... las personas suelen hablar, y mucho.

Ahora sobre Boebert, Kendra dice que hizo sus tareas y vio algunas de las cosas que ha dicho la Representante sobre temas LGBTQ +, de lo cual es muy opositora, como está bien documentado, y ella dice que la decepciona que Quinn esté con alguien así.

The drag queen who performed at the bar owned by the guy who was fondling Rep. Lauren Boebert's boobs last week says contrary to Boebert's claim, that date wasn't #1.

TMZ talked to Kendra Matic ... who was the lone drag performer who took the stage at Quinn Gallagher's Aspen bar back in January, and she gave us a LOT of previously unknown insight into this whole saga.

For starters, KM tells us she 100% stands behind Quinn -- whom she says is a great guy who she would definitely work with again if he called her for another drag show. Kendra says the gig earlier this year went really well ... and insists QG's got a good heart.

It's because of how fond she is of Quinn that Kendra can't understand his relationship with the Republican congresswoman -- and yes, we're using that term specifically here.

As it turns out -- according to Kendra, anyway -- Boebert and Gallagher had actually been seeing each other for a while ... something Kendra says quite a few people in the area were aware of. So, the notion this was a first-time hookup, as Boebert hinted, appears to be bogus.

We'll let Kendra talk for herself here on what she can and can't reveal about the gossip around town over RLB and Quinn -- but let's just say ... a small town talks!

Now, on Boebert herself ... Kendra tells us she's done her homework and seen some of the nasty things the representative has said about LGBTQ+ issues -- and she's disappointed that Quinn is into a person like that.

Diddy's star-studded new album dropped Friday and he threw a blowout bash in New York City to match the tracklist!!!

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop Diddy rented out Sei Less NYC for his "Love Album: Off The Grid" release party ... a special occasion seeing as how the restaurant extended its usual midnight shutdown time, so the shindig could go until 4 AM!!!

The moment he entered the bash, Diddy hit up the venue's co-owner Dara Mirjahangiry for a bottle of Ace of Spades, and raised glasses with Yung Miami, Jadakiss, French Montana, Shyne, Jozzy and his sons Quincy and Justin Combs.

We're told the 'Love' album was playing to get the party started, and once the shots from Diddy's DeLeon Tequila began to flow ... they launched into an impromptu karaoke session.

Keyshia Cole led the sing-along to her classic "Love" track and Diddy commanded The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Warning" for the crowd.

Fans have been rallying around the R&B compilation, and its lead-off music vid also dropped on Friday ... "Another One of Me" featuring French, 21 Savage and The Weeknd in his final appearance with that stage name.

Robin Thicke looks like he was seeing blurred lines during a night on the town, stumbling into a potted plant ... and wrestling with his fiancée April Love Geary as she tries to get him to leave.

The singer appeared intoxicated Thursday night outside The Fleur Room in West Hollywood, and April certainly thought he was ... as she put it, "his bitch ass is so drunk."

The video picks up with Robin trying to grab a bag from April outside the club entrance, but she breaks away from him and hails a ride ... and then he stumbles on his way back into the club, falling into a bush.

April calls him out for being wasted, and says he's embarrassing them with his behavior ... telling the bouncer to not let him back inside.

Robin continues trying to get his hands on April's phone, for some reason, and they get into a physical struggle on the sidewalk as she pleads for him to quit.

Eventually, a black SUV pulls up and Robin holds April in a bear hug from behind as she struggles to get to the car. Robin is smiling and laughing the whole time, but April's clearly not amused as they finally climb into the vehicle.

Robin Thicke pareciera estar viendo líneas borrosas durante una noche de fiesta en la ciudad, en donde se lo vio tropezar con un arbusto y juguetear con su novia April Love Geary, mientras ella intentaba llevárselo a casa.

El cantante apareció intoxicado el jueves por la noche fuera de The Fleur Room en West Hollywood. En palabras de April, este "bitch ass" estaba súper borracho.

El video comienza con Robin tratando de agarrar una bolsa de April afuera del club. Ella se separa de él, llama a un conductor y luego Robin se tambalea en su camino de regreso al club, casi cayendo sobre un arbusto.

Ahí, April le llama la atención por estar tan borracho y le dice que los está avergonzando con su comportamiento. Al mismo tiempo, le dice al portero que no lo deje volver a entrar.

Robin insiste en su intento de agarrar el teléfono de April, por alguna razón, y se enzarzan en una pelea física en la acera mientras ella le suplica que la deje.

Finalmente, un todoterreno negro se detiene y Robin abraza a April por detrás mientras ella lucha por llegar al carro. Robin está sonriendo y riéndose todo el tiempo, pero a April no le hace ninguna gracia todo el espectáculo cuando por fin se suben al vehículo.

Memphis Bleek hears the fans loud and clear ... he's totally on board to record a collab project with Jay-Z but he's not the one who needs convincing!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Roc Nation legend outside of LAX and he tells us he's constantly sending Jay material to record, and even gets rejected from time to time.

Bleek jokes he should've attempted the Jay duet album when his bank account was sitting at $100 mil as opposed to his current billionaire status -- but he points out, he was riding with Team Roc well before Jay started stacking commas.

Jay handpicked Bleek to rap alongside him when he was just a teen in their Marcy Housing projects in Brooklyn, and Bleek thinks their collab would be a fitting close to their "Coming Of Age" saga ... which details their relationship.

Bleek also gave us an update on Jay's storied 40/40 Club, which closed its doors without warning after 20 years this week.

What appeared to be a setback is actually the dawn of another venture ... Bleek says they're bringing the 40/40 to midtown NYC sometime in 2024, and they're already taking applications for beautiful women to handle the VIP bottle service!!!

The "My Mind Right" rapper also gave us his 2¢ on the current state of hip hop, including his earnest reasoning as to why things have gone stale. Like many of his fellow rappers, Bleek feels the genre's lacking creativity -- mainly because copycatting isn't frowned upon in the younger generation.

Lil Baby opened his Seafood Menu restaurant last month in Atlanta ... and is already learning the ins and outs of customer service.

One woman who seemingly recently stopped by the joint posted a very detailed negative review of Baby's spot that made its rounds on Instagram and TikTok this week.

According to the woman, the restaurant gave her a half piece of fish as one of her ordered items and she further accused them of trying to conceal it under a whole fish.

She also claims to have been shorted 2 shrimp from her 6-piece order, and gave the fries a thumbs down.

Management for Baby's establishment tells TMZ Hip Hop, "Seafood Menu greatly appreciates all feedback, regardless of its nature, as it contributes to the continuous improvement of our customer service. We recently became aware of a video circulating on social media, which appears to depict a to-go order from our opening day."

They continue, "However, we are unable to verify the timing of the video in relation to the food order. It's worth noting that our opening day saw an impressive turnout of over 2,000 patrons, with nearly 99% of reviews being positive. While we regret not having the chance to directly address this concern, we remain dedicated to enhancing our services and serving our underserved community to the best of our ability."

Lizzo kept an eye on the famed banana sex show in Amsterdam for years ... sharing her desires way before being sued for allegedly pressuring backup dancers to get in on the act.

Here's the deal ... Lizzo talked about wanting to go to a specific live sex show in the city's infamous Red Light District during a 2019 interview with an Amsterdam radio station ... the same show she's now being sued over.

In her interview with 3FM DJ Frank van der Lende, Lizzo reveals her love for live sex shows in Amsterdam ... and she asks the hosts about the banana sex show, where patrons eat bananas out of sex performers' vaginas.

Lizzo excitedly talks about her desire to find out where the banana show happens ... explaining, "That's what I want to do, I need my potassium if you know what I'm saying. My puss-tassium."

The radio hosts tell Lizzo the place she's looking for is Bananenbar ... a venue that's mentioned several times in the lawsuit she's now facing.

As we reported ... Lizzo is being sued by 3 of her former backup dancers, who say they were sexually denigrated by Lizzo while on the job.

In the suit, the dancers claim during a February 2023 tour stop in Amsterdam, Lizzo took them to Bananenbar and pressured them to interact with the sex performers.

The dancers claim "Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas."

It's unclear if the alleged incident was Lizzo's first time at Bananenbar ... but she's clearly had the banana sex show on her mind since 2019 at least.
