The mother-of-two says she hopes all their bday wishes come true ... and shared a few sweet photos from back in the day as well.

Lil Tay's on the road to recovery, it seems ... with her team posting she's recovering from heart surgery -- and specifically saying this isn't a hoax.

In the vid, shared to Tay's X account, the rapper is hooked up to a series of hospital machines, resting after what her account describes as surgery on a heart tumor.

It's a short clip, and she's knocked out through all of it ... but, her team says they're "overjoyed to share that Tay’s open-heart surgery was a great success" -- adding their deepest thanks to all of her doctors.

Donald Trump's got his pronouns all mixed up ... getting onstage during a rally and calling Latin singer Nicky Jam a "hot" woman -- and, looking a bit surprised to find he's actually a dude!

The 45th POTUS had a rally in Las Vegas Friday night ... and he introduced Nicky to the crowd -- asking fans if they know Nicky and adding "she's hot."

Bill Maher did some speculating Friday night that sent Donald Trump's newest bestie into a rage ... the 'Real Time' host says he has a hunch Trump's banging her.

The 'Real Time' host said Donald Trump may be old, but he's a dog always in search of women, and Bill said there are breadcrumbs of evidence leading him to Laura Loomer -- as he says, she's 31 and Trump's "type."

Well, B.M. noted she's been like white on rice with Trump recently, which then raised a question for him ... "Who's Trump f***ing? Because I said, 'it's not nobody.' He's been a dog for too long. And it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week."

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" alum and Diddy-Dirty Money member Kalenna Harper says she never saw Diddy getting abusive with Cassie ... contrary to claims in a new lawsuit.

Kalenna is mentioned 33 times in Dawn's lawsuit -- filed Tuesday -- and now she's breaking her silence ... saying, "While I fully respect Dawn's right to recount her experiences, I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved."

Jack Antonoff has heard the criticism about his earplug use at the 2024 MTV VMAs, and has offered up a response to his haters.

The music producer offered up a sarcastic apology online Thursday evening after he was put on blast for protecting his ears during Katy Perry's performance at the awards show this week.

While some fans accused Jack of being "disrespectful" to Katy by popping in some noise-canceling plugs, the Grammy winner made it clear the situation was blown out of proportion ... and roasted those who took his earplug use so seriously.

Taylor Swift wasn't the only megastar to throw her support behind Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate ... Caitlin Clark sure seemed to show she's got the VP's back in the race against Donald Trump as well.

The Barstool Sports founder rushed to social media to react to the pop superstar's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris ... and considering he's a clear Donald Trump supporter, he says a bunch of people were interested in his thoughts.

While Portnoy is one of the most popular and passionate Trump backers, he's going with the "agree to disagree" route when it comes to politics.

Chester Bennington's son Jaime says he's getting death threats from Linkin Park fans after criticizing the band’s controversial lead singer, Emily Armstrong.

Jaime claimed in an IG vid Monday people have been sending him nasty messages, including some telling him to kill himself and questioning whether he truly understands what his dad would want if Chester were alive today.

Jaime highlighted the hypocrisy in their messages, saying if they really understood how his dad died, they’d realize their trolling comments are inappropriate, and way off. Chester died by suicide in 2017.

Donald Trump's sharing some cyber regrets ... admitting he sometimes wishes he didn't post a few of the more brutal "truths" to social media -- but, it ain't very often.

The Republican nominee for president sat down for an interview on Lex Fridman's podcast Tuesday ... and, Lex asked him if he ever thinks twice about firing off some of his raw thoughts on Truth Social.

DJT replies he does have some regrets ... but, only every once in a while. So, don't think for a sec 45's rethinking every controversial tweet -- or Truths, as posts on Truth Social (the site he owns) are called.

Nina Agdal ain't playin' with online trolls ... 'cause she just sued a social media influencer for making false and defamatory accusations about her.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Agdal says Hassan Haider repeatedly published a fabricated narrative online in August and September 2023, in which he falsely claimed he banged her in a bathroom after waving a bag of cocaine in front of her.
