AJ McLean's pit stop on the Vegas Strip -- during the Formula 1 Grand Prix festivities -- had A-listers doing laps around the glitzy event, and got AJ onstage with The Chainsmokers.
The Backstreet Boys star put the pedal to the medal inside XS Nightclub at the Wynn Las Vegas Thursday night, as the trio performed a special rendition of his band's mega-hit "Everybody" -- but not before F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton and Will.i.am kicked things off at the exclusive invite-only opening ceremony the night before.
On Friday, TikToker Alix Earle jumped into the DJ booth with Swedish House Madia at XS ... while Leo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Michael B. Jordan, French Montana, and Saweetie partied in VIP.
The whole weekend was packed with celebs in town for the main event ... Saturday night's race, where RiRi and her man A$AP Rocky immersed themselves in the action. No doubt, it was a nice break from reality for the rapper, ahead of his courtroom appearance Monday in his shooting case.
The race was Formula 1's first in Las Vegas since 1982's Caesars Palace Grand Prix ... and Justin Bieber was living in the fast lane as he was selected to wave the checkered flag as Team Red Bull's Max Verstappen crossed the finish line first.

Martin Scorsese Celebrates 81st Bday ... W/ Viral TikTok-Inspired Cake!!!
Martin Scorsese has become a TikTok sensation in recent months -- and it looks like his family wanted to highlight that for his birthday ... with a sweet treat that's totally lit.
The famed director -- who's as old school as it gets -- hit the big 8-1 Friday ... and his loved ones threw him a little shindig to celebrate -- complete with a cake, of course, that was intricately decked out to reflect his viral stardom.
Check it out ... his 24-year-old daughter, Francesca, got some video of her dad's born-day pastry -- and it's full of Gen Z lingo that Marty's apparently pretty keen on.
The big icing writing across reads, "We Slay Birthdays" ... and other hip phrases like "Tea," "Slept On," "Throw Shade" and "Ick" are stenciled on all sides -- with a giant TikTok logo on top, of course.
Francesca certainly seemed impressed by the job that their cake decorator did on this ... and for good reason -- it's pretty freaking awesome. Papa Bear himself also looked pleased.
If you're unaware of what this is all about ... Francesca's been featuring MS on her TikTok videos lately -- and she's been having him use all the fun features, like voice-changers, and having him play viral games that all the young'ns are into ... including movie rankings.
Dude's already a legend in film ... and now, on social media too. King s***, dead ass.

Haley Cavinder I'm Taking My Talents To TCU ... After Unretiring
College basketball and social media star Haley Cavinder has a new home -- she just announced she'll be suiting up for the TCU women's basketball team for her final year of eligibility after unretiring last month.
22-year-old Haley -- 1/2 of the popular Cavinder Twins -- made the move official on Monday ... sharing photo shoot shots of her wearing a Horned Frogs jersey and crown while sitting on a throne.
"The last rodeo #committed," Haley said.
Her sister clearly approves ... adding, "GO FROGSSS BABY" and "mom just bought purple cowboy boots after seeing this," in the comments.
Of course, the Cavinders are successful on and off the court -- they have NIL deals with companies like Betr Media and WWE ... and are among the most-profitable college athletes out there right now.
The former Miami WBB duo previously announced they would forego their final year of ball to expand their brand and business ventures ... but Haley later backtracked and said she would continue her career after taking time off.
She explained her decision to return in an interview with Forbes ... saying, "I think ending it with Hanna and announcing that we were done and not going to take our fifth year, I felt -- honestly, to be very transparent -- a lot of pressure."
"There was nothing filling the love for the game, and I just truly was like, I know I'm going to regret it down the road if I don't go back," Haley said.
The Frogs are getting a solid player -- Haley earned second-team All-ACC honors last season, averaging 12 points and four rebounds.
This marks just the second time a Cavinder will play without the other ... but we're sure Hanna will be there in support!!

Travis Barker Toca la batería al ritmo del latido de su bebé ... A Internet no le gusta
Travis Barker tocó la batería al son de los latidos del corazón de su bebé mientras estaba en la sala de partos junto a Kourtney Kardashian y la gente en Internet lo está encontrando un poquito "repulsivo".
El baterista de Blink-182 hizo lo que mejor sabe hacer en el clip, que fue compartido por él mismo el jueves con el mensaje: "Practicando los [sic] latidos del corazón de mi bebé"
Mientras que algunos no pudieron evitar decir que es uno de los mejores bateristas en el mundo, otros reaccionaron con su disgusto por su actuación en la sala de partos. Alguien dijo que Kourtney, quien debe haber grabado todo, tiene que tener "paciencia de ángel".
El TikTok de Trav provocó comentarios como: "Literalmente estaría tan molesta que no podría hacerlo", "eso me habría llevado contra la pared" o "imagina estar en la habitación de al lado".
Hay que decir, sin embargo, que no todo fueron críticas. Un montón de gente simplemente felicitó a Travis y Kourtney por su nuevo bebé y pensó que la música era "tan hermosa".
Como informamos, Kourtney y Travis dejaron el Cedars-Sinai el martes después de pasar varios días en el hospital, aunque todavía no está claro qué día exactamente nació su bebé, Rocky.
Mientras que algunos recién nacidos reconocen la voz de su papá, creemos que Rocky reconoció a Travis por el ritmo de su batería.
Travis Barker Drummin' Along To Baby's Heartbeat ... Internet Isn't A Fan
Travis Barker played the drums to his baby's heartbeat while in the delivery room with Kourtney Kardashian before the kiddo was born ... and folks online are calling it a bit "ick."
The Blink-182 drummer did what he does best in the clip, shared by the man himself on Thursday ... with the caption, "Practicing to my babies [sic] heartbeat."
While some couldn't help but point out he's one of the best drummers in the game, others chimed in with their distaste for the delivery room performance -- with one saying Kourtney, who seems to be recording the vid, has to have "angel-like" patience.
Trav's TikTok prompted comments like, "I would literally be so annoyed I couldn't do it," "That would've driven me up the wall" and, "Imagine being in the room next to this."
It wasn't all bashing, though ... plenty of folks simply congratulated Travis and Kourtney on their new baby, calling the music "so beautiful."
As we reported, Kourtney and Travis left Cedars-Sinai on Tuesday after spending multiple days at the hospital ... although it's still unclear exactly what day their baby, Rocky, was actually born.
While some newborns might recognize their pop's voice, we're guessing Rocky recognized Travis from the tight beat of his drumming!

Timbaland Se disculpa con Britney y sus fans... Mi broma sobre el bozal estuvo fuera de lugar
Timbaland está enfrentando las reacciones negativas que causó su comentario sobre "ponerle un bozal" a Britney Spears. El productor y rapero le pidió disculpas a la cantante y sus fans, quienes reaccionaron como locos cuando la broma se hizo viral.
El martes, durante una sesión de streaming en TikTok, Timbaland admitió su error diciendo: "Lo siento a todos los fans de Britney, incluso a ella", y agregó que se equivocó por osar a bloquear su derecho a hablar.
Los fans pensaron que la reacción de Timbaland a las memorias de Britney "The Woman in Me", en particular a aquellas que aluden a Justin Timberlake, fue de mal gusto.
Por si no lo saben, en un panel de la semana pasada con 9th Wonder en el Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Timbaland dijo que Justin necesitaba "ponerle un bozal" a Britney, culpando al clima actual de las redes sociales por sus acciones.
Los fans pensaron que Timbaland estaba siendo insensible y viendo las cosas desde su perspectiva, pero cuando algunos de ellos le preguntaron si respetaba a las mujeres, él respondió con un sincero "hell yeah", por supuesto.
Justin Timberlake y Tim se conocen desde hace mucho tiempo, lo mismo que Justin y Britney. En su libro, ella dice que ambos decidieron abortar cuando ella quedó embarazada en el año 2000, entre otras revelaciones impactantes.
Timbaland Sorry to Britney and Her Fans ... My 'Muzzle' Joke Was Out Of Line
Timbaland is facing the backlash head-on after his "muzzle joke" aimed at Britney Spears -- he's apologizing to her and her fans, who had a riotous response when his remark went viral.
On Tuesday, during a TikTok streaming session, Timbaland admitted his faults, saying ... "I’m sorry to all the Britney fans, even to her" -- and added he was in the wrong for attempting to block her right to speak out.
Fans thought Timbaland's reaction to Britney's "The Woman in Me" memoir -- particularly the bits about Justin Timberlake -- was in poor taste.
While on a panel last week with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Timbaland quipped JT needed to "put a muzzle" on Britney, blaming today's social media climate for her actions.
Fans thought Timbaland was being insensitive and he saw their perspective, and when some of them asked if he respects women, he fired back a hearty "hell yeah."
JT and Tim go way back -- but so do JT and Britney. In her book, she says they both decided to have an abortion when she got pregnant back in 2000 ... among other shocking revelations from her heyday.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

CRÍTICO GASTRONÓMICO DE TIKTOK Provoca cambios en restaurantes de Atlanta ¡Haremos ajustes!
La escena gastronómica de Atlanta ha estado bajo la lupa desde que un crítico de TikTok con cientos de seguidores llegó a la ciudad y empezó a hacer malas críticas de los restaurantes, y ahora, algunos de esos lugares están prometiendo cambios.
Keith Lee, que tiene un alcance masivo en TikTok y cuyas críticas de comida han hecho que pequeños negocios, usualmente desapercibidos, se conviertan en los favoritos de la gente, trajo su talento a la ciudad de Atlanta la semana pasada y tenía mucho que decir.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
El crítico hizo una serie de comentarios en video y un buen puñado de ellos en realidad terminaron siendo retrospectivas de lo difícil que resultó pedir comida a domicilio en un montón de establecimientos conocidos y populares en la ciudad. Algunos de ellos incluyeron The Real Milk & Honey, y el restaurante Old Lady Gang, de Kandi Burruss, y según cuenta ambas experiencias lo dejaron sin comida.
Al parecer, hay un montón de "reglas" que Keith y su familia tuvieron que pasar para hacer un pedido e incluso para sentarse, algo que caracteriza a un mal servicio al cliente a su juicio, y desde que criticó a estos lugares un montón de personas ha concordado.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Como resultado de todas estas críticas y comentarios, parece haber un consenso de que es un poco difícil cenar en Atlanta, y por ninguna buena razón.
Kandi abordó parte de la crítica de Keith, particularmente el hecho de que Keith y su equipo no pudieron pedir comida para domicilio fácilmente, y dijo que su restaurante pone el foco y los recursos en los que comen en él. Sin embargo, no se refirió a su afirmación de que solo se le ofreció una mesa debido a su nombre.
En cualquier caso, Kandi le abre las puertas nuevamente y espera que el equipo de Old Lady Gang pueda tener otra oportunidad. Los dueños de The Real Milk & Honey (que es un restaurante franquiciado) tomaron un enfoque ligeramente diferente, pero en última instancia salieron a aclarar un poco las cosas y a pedir disculpas también.
Después de que uno de sus dueños criticara a Keith en una estación de radio local, en un intento por defenderse de las prácticas estrictas de su restaurante, el negocio en sí emitió una larga declaración el martes, donde aparentemente admitió estar equivocada.
La cuenta corporativa dice que han hecho un examen de conciencia en el transcurso de la semana y ahora The Real Milk & Honey se compromete a ajustar la forma en que operan.
No dicen exactamente lo que cambiarán, pero parece que la crítica de Keith los hizo pensar dos veces.
Por cierto, toda esta discusión se tomó las redes sociales durante varios días y dejó a algunas grandes celebridades de peso comentando sobre los "problemas" que existen en la supuesta escena de comida en Atlanta, incluyendo a Cardi B, que en términos inequívocos se puso del lado de Keith y le dio las gracias por exponerlo.
Como muchos han señalado, el efecto Keith Lee es real, para bien o para mal. Tomen nota, amigos, el hombre critica la comida y el servicio al cliente, ¡y les hará saber si no le gusta!

TikTok Food Critic Keith Lee Spurs Responses from ATL Restaurateurs ... Changes Are Comin'!!!
Atlanta's food scene has been under the microscope since a viral food critic came to town with bad reviews -- and now, some of these places are promising change.
Keith Lee, who has a massive TikTok following and whose food reviews have turned small, unseen businesses into out-the-door favorites brought his talents to the ATL last week -- and had a lot to say.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
He did a number of video reviews ... and a good handful of them actually ended up being retrospectives into how difficult it turned out to be to order takeout at a bunch of well-known/popular establishments in town. His stops included The Real Milk & Honey, and Kandi Burruss's Old Lady Gang restaurant -- both experiences, he says, left him without food.
Apparently, there are a ton of "rules" Keith says he and his family had to go through to even place an order or to be seated -- stemming from what he characterizes as bad customer service -- and since calling these places out ... a lot of folks have chimed in to agree.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
In the aftermath of these reviews -- and amid all the discourse that's followed -- there seems to be a consensus ... it's kinda difficult to dine in Atlanta, and for no real good reason, either.
Kandi addressed part of Keith's critique -- the fact he and his crew couldn't easily order takeout -- and said her restaurant puts the focus and resources on those who eat in. However, she didn't address his claim he was only offered a table because of his name.
In any case ... Kandi welcomes him back and hopes she and the OLG team can get another shot. The folks who own The Real Milk & Honey (which is a franchised restaurant) took a slightly different approach ... but ultimately landed with a bit of a clarification/apology too.
After one of the RMH honchos reportedly torched Keith on a local radio station -- in trying to defend his restaurant's stringent practices -- the restaurant itself issued a lengthy statement Tuesday ... seemingly admitting to being in the wrong.
The corporate account says they've done some soul-searching over the course of this week-long saga ... and now, The Real Milk & Honey is vowing to tweak how they operate.
They don't exactly say what's in store -- but it appears Keith's review made 'em think twice.
BTW, this whole chapter took over part of the Internet for a good several days ... and it got some big-time celebs weighing in on the supposed Atlanta food scene "problem" -- including Cardi B, who in no uncertain terms sided with Keith ... and thanked him for exposing it.
As many have noted ... the Keith Lee effect is real, for better or worse. Take note, folks -- he critiques food AND customer service ... and he'll let ya know if he's not feeling it!

Kate Upton Let Me Teach You How To Dougie ... 13 Years Later!!!
Kate Upton's still got her fastball -- the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model just made her debut on TikTok this week ... recreating her viral "Dougie" dance to celebrate the occasion.
Of course, the 31-year-old lit the internet on fire 13 years ago ... when she busted out the iconic moves to the Cali Swag District hit at a basketball game.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
The clip garnered millions of views and stole the hearts of horny kids all over the world ... so it's only fitting Upton reprised her role for her first post on the social media platform.
The vid starts by showing Upton search "Teach Me How To Dougie" on DuckDuckGo ... before letting loose with her moves.
"Teach me how to TikTok…? #dougie," Justin Verlander's wife said in the caption.
Safe to say she hasn't lost a step in over a decade ... duplicating the dance for her followers just like she did back in the day.
BTW -- she currently only has just over 500 people tuning in to her page ... but we assume that number is going to explode now that she's gone public with the profile.
So ... Cat Daddy next??

Chrisean Rock thought she had a real friend in Summer Walker after her baby debacle in Walmart ... but is now second-guessing the "Girls Need Love" singer after being spoofed in a video.

On Thursday, Chrisean went live on IG and called out Summer for DMing her with sweet nothings of support last month ... but says her feelings are now hurt as of result of the video.
A video that made fun of the very same incident Summer reached out for!!! Ouch.
Despite the hurt, the new mother said she wasn't surprised as she's grown used to dealing with cutthroat folks in a cold music industry.
Rock may have a point ... Summer seemed like she was auditioning for Hollywood the way she went all out with her impersonation of Chrisean ... down to the missing tooth and the baby doll with its head dangling!!!
Many fans agreed with Chrisean, they found the skit to be in poor taste, forcing Summer to cite her comedic inspirations -- Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac, Richard Pryor -- guys who pushed the envelope with their art as her inspiration.
But after seeing Chrisean's response, Summer got defensive and told her to lighten up!!! ... "Sensitive about a tik tok that was viral way before I did it but you aint have no sympathy when you be dragging bitches across the ground."
Yep, this beef is just getting started!!!

El jueves, Chrisean realizó un live de Instagram y llamó a Summer para agradecerle por el apoyo el mes pasado, sin embargo, ahora está herida luego de ver un video...
¡Un video en el que se burló del mismo incidente! Ouch.
A pesar del daño, la nueva madre dijo que no estaba sorprendida, ya que está acostumbrada a tratar con gente despiadada en una industria musical fría.
Rock puede tener un punto, Summer parecía como si estuviera audicionando para Hollywood por la forma en que llevó a cabo su imitación, ¡se fijo incluso en el diente que le falta y el muñeco con la cabeza colgando!
Muchos fans estuvieron de acuerdo con Chrisean, encontraron el sketch de mal gusto, obligando a Summer a citar sus inspiraciones cómicas —Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac, Richard Pryor— básicamente, chicos que empujaron los límites.
Pero después de ver la respuesta de Chrisean, Summer se puso a la defensiva y le dijo que se relajara: "Te pones sensible por un TikTok que fue viral mucho antes de que yo lo hiciera, pero no tienes simpatía cuando arrastras perras por el suelo".
Sip, ¡este conflicto recién comienza!
