In a moment sure to thrill 90's kids everywhere, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and JC Chasez reunited on the VMAs stage for the first time in a decade ... much to Taylor Swift's delight.

Fans went nuts as the 5 members of *NSYNC all got together Tuesday to present the award for best pop video. Nicki Minaj introduced them as they walked out to "Bye Bye Bye," the song behind their first VMA win back in the day.

Taylor was going full fangirl as the fellas took the stage, and then she ended up winning for her hit song, "Anti-Hero."

Lance even gave Taylor a friendship bracelet as she hugged every band member on stage ... and she used part of her acceptance speech to gush over *NSYNC.

It's the first time the guys have been together at the MTV VMAs since way back in 2013 ... and the first time they've all been together for a public appearance since a stop on Ellen a few years back.

Of course, the timing makes a lot of sense, as the guys are rolling out a single for the upcoming 'Trolls' movie ... talk about some good promotion.

Unfortunately, no performance from the guys ... but you gotta imagine the warm reception makes the thought of a reunion tour that much more enticing.

Yes, even for JT.

With all of the big stars -- Taylor, Nicki, Selena and more -- do you think the MTV VMAs have gained credibility again? Vote below.

Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion appeared to get into a verbal sparring match backstage at MTV's VMAs Tuesday night ... but they didn't, according to witnesses and the 2 people at the center.

In video surfaced from backstage, the rapper, who performed her new song "Bongos" with Cardi B at the event, was super animated with the "Mirrors" hitmaker, pointing at him as she said something. Lots of folks on social jumped to the conclusion they were beefing.

Megan put that to rest with a video, captioned, "I just talk with my hands lol 💁🏽‍♀️see ya next time @Justin Timberlake" The video is scored with kumbaya music.

An eyewitness told Variety, Justin greeted Megan, telling her it was nice to meet her, and Meg gave a "very cute" response, saying, "No, no this don’t count, this don’t count. We gotta meet proper."

Another witness reportedly said Megan "loves Justin" and was excited to meet him for the first time.

Justin's *NSYNC bandmate, Joey Fatone, smiles during the whole exchange, so yeah, no beef.

*NSYNC's reunion was the big story of the night, with a reunion where they awarded Taylor Swift the Best Pop Video award. Taylor was overcome with emotion when she joined the group on stage.

Aaron Rodgers' first season with the Jets is over before it could ever take off -- the superstar quarterback suffered a torn Achilles in his first-ever game for New York, officially ending his 2023 campaign.

The team confirmed the devastating news on Tuesday ... announcing the 39-year-old Super Bowl champion will be sidelined for the rest of the season after an MRI revealed a complete tear in his left Achilles tendon.

Rodgers went down in the Jets' fourth offensive snap of Monday Night Football against Buffalo ... when Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd tackled him to the turf.

Initial x-rays came back negative ... and there was a small possibility Rodgers may have just had a high ankle sprain.

Unfortunately for Rodgers and Co., Tuesday's scans confirmed the worst.

Now, the once-Super Bowl hopefuls will turn to backup Zach Wilson ... in hopes of having a successful season without their star QB under center.

Rodgers has experienced numerous injuries throughout his career ... but this is by far the most serious, and many are wondering if he will be able to bounce back and return to his dominant ways.

Now that Aaron's out for the rest of the season with a torn Achilles, do you think it's the end of his football career? Vote below.

1:31 PM PT -- El entrenador de los Jets, Robert Saleh, abordó la lesión de Aaron Rodgers con los periodistas el martes, y aunque dijo que lo siente por el quarterback, deja claro que su equipo no va a renunciar a la temporada.

"No lo veo como un 'ay de mí para la organización", dijo Saleh. "Creo que los chicos están entusiasmados con la posibilidad de dar un paso adelante y continuar con lo que hemos estado trabajando. Pero mucha tristeza por Aaron".

Saleh agregó que Zach Wilson liderará al equipo en el futuro, y tiene mucha confianza en el joven jugador.

La primera temporada de Aaron Rodgers con los Jets ha terminado antes de que pudiera siquiera despegar. La superestrella sufrió un desgarro en su tendón de Aquiles en su primer juego para el equipo neoyorquino, terminando oficialmente su campaña 2023.

El equipo confirmó la devastadora noticia el martes, anunciando que el campeón del Super Bowl de 39 años estará fuera de juego por el resto de la temporada después de que una resonancia magnética revelara un desgarro completo en su tendón de Aquiles izquierdo

Rodgers cayó al suelo en el cuarto ataque ofensivo de los Jets en el Monday Night Football contra Buffalo, cuando el linebacker de los Bills, Leonard Floyd, lo derribó al césped.

Las radiografías iniciales fueron negativas, pero había una pequeña posibilidad de que Rodgers solo tuviera un esguince de tobillo alto.

Por desgracia para Rodgers y compañía, las exploraciones del martes confirmaron lo peor.

Ahora, los otrora aspirantes al Super Bowl recurrirán al suplente Zach Wilson... con la esperanza de tener una temporada exitosa sin su jugador estrella en el centro.

Erica Mena says she's sorry for calling her reality show costar a monkey -- but she insists there was no racism behind the insult.

The ex-'Love & Hip Hop' star -- who was booted from the show for hurling the word -- tells TMZ ... "I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness. My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said."

She adds, "I am committed to listening to the voices of those affected and will work toward making amends. As a woman of color and the mother of two black children, I want to make it clear that my use of that word was not in any way racially driven."

Erica ends with this ... "That said, I do understand the gravity of what I said and want to use my platform to promote inclusivity and equality."

Worth noting, Erica identifies as an Afro-Latina -- with Dominican and Puerto Rican roots.

You'll recall ... Erica was cut loose from 'L&HH: Atlanta' after MTV aired the controversial episode in question -- in which EM and Spice got into a heated argument, which erupted into a fight ... and where Erica invoked the term "monkey" while she was lashing out.

That ugly moment came on the heels of yet another ... an Atlanta-area arrest that saw Erica get booked on a number of charges, including allegedly attacking a police officer.

Now that Erica's apologized, do you think she should be allowed back on 'L&HH'? Sound off by answering the question in our game below.

The Elvis impersonator who officiated Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Las Vegas wedding is surprised their marriage is over -- the guy who's overseen countless nuptials thought these 2 would live happily ever after.

Jesse Garon married Joe and Sophie in Sin City back in 2019, and in a rather animated conversation, he tells TMZ ... he's shocked, heartbroken and distraught Joe filed for divorce from Sophie after only 4 years of marriage.

The Elvis impersonator says he first thought their divorce was a joke because it seemed to come out of nowhere. He says he thought they were going to last because Joe and Sophie dated for about 3 years before tying the knot. In other words, it wasn't one of those stereotypical spur-of-the-moment Vegas weddings.

Jesse says he's wondering if Joe gave it his all to try and make the marriage work, because he feels like 4 years really isn't that long.

As we reported ... Joe filed for divorce Tuesday, and the trigger for the singer was allegedly Ring camera audio/video of the actress doing or saying something that signaled to him their marriage was over.

Jesse says he was going to see Joe at the upcoming Jonas Brothers concert in Las Vegas, and planned to give him a memento from the wedding ... the ring pop wrapper from the ring Joe gave Sophie.

And there's this ... as Joe and Sophie wave the white flag on their union, Elvis Jesse wants fans to understand one thing -- do NOT blame him for this bitter ending.

Are you as shocked as the Elvis impersonator about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce? Sound off by answering the question in our game below.

El imitador de Elvis que ofició la boda de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner en Las Vegas está sorprendido de que su matrimonio haya terminado. El hombre que ha supervisado innumerables nupcias pensó que estos dos vivirían felices para siempre.

Jesse Garon casó a Joe y Sophie en la "ciudad del pecado" en 2019, y en una conversación bastante animada, le dijo a TMZ que está sorprendido, desconsolado y angustiado de que Joe haya solicitado el divorcio a Sophie después de solo 4 años de matrimonio.

El imitador de Elvis dice que primero pensó que esto era una broma porque parecía salir de la nada. A diferencia de otras típicas bodas improvisadas de Las Vegas, él pensaba que Joe y Sophie iban a durar porque estuvieron saliendo durante tres años antes.

Jesse se pregunta si Joe realmente hizo todo lo posible para salvar el matrimonio, ya que siente que cuatro años no es tanto tiempo.

Como informamos, Joe solicitó el divorcio el martes, y el detonante para el cantante fue supuestamente un audio o video de la cámara Ring de seguridad, con la actriz haciendo o diciendo algo que le hizo pensar que su matrimonio había terminado.

Jesse dice que iba a ver a Joe en el próximo concierto de los Jonas Brothers en Las Vegas, y planeaba darle un recuerdo de la boda: el envoltorio del anillo que Joe le dio a Sophie.

Y luego esto... Mientras Joe y Sophie ondean la bandera blanca de su unión, Elvis Jesse quiere que los fans entiendan una cosa: NO lo culpen a él por este amargo final.

Sophie Turner was struggling after the birth of her second child, and Joe Jonas was "less than supportive," so claims several sources who were around Joe after the birth.

Our sources say, after their youngest child was born a year ago July, Sophie didn't want to leave their home ... she didn't want to be photographed or go to events. Nevertheless, she attended several events with Joe, but at one specific event, several people who were there said Sophie made it clear she was uncomfortable and didn't want to be there.

Shortly after that event, there was another in which Joe attended but Sophie didn't. Our sources say Joe complained Sophie was MIA and felt she needed to get out more. It was clear to the people who were there and heard Joe ... there was a strain in the relationship.

What's interesting ... as we reported, over the last 6 months it seemed the tables had turned for Joe ... he was complaining she was too into partying.

Sources connected to Joe acknowledge "challenges in the relationship," but say Joe was supportive of Sophie getting the London acting gig.

As we reported, Joe filed for divorce Tuesday ... and the trigger for him was allegedly Ring camera audio/video of Sophie doing or saying something.

We reached out to Sophie's team but didn't hear back. Joe's rep declined to comment.

Sophie Turner estaba pasándolo mal después del nacimiento de su segunda hija y Joe Jonas le dio menos del apoyo que necesitaba, según dicen varias fuentes que estaban cerca de Joe después del nacimiento.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que, después de que su hija menor naciera hace un año, en julio, Sophie no quería salir de su casa. No quería ser fotografiada o ir a eventos. Sin embargo, fue a varios, aunque en uno en concreto, varias personas que estuvieron allí dijeron que Sophie dejó claro que no se sentía cómoda y que no quería estar allí.

Poco después de ese evento, hubo otro en el que Joe asistió, pero Sophie no. Nuestras fuentes dicen que allí el cantante se quejó de que Sophie andaba desaparecida y sintió que ella necesitaba salir más. Para las personas que estuvieron ahí y escucharon a Joe, quedó más que claro que había tensión en la relación.

Lo que es interesante es que, como informamos, en los últimos seis meses pareciera que las cosas habían empezado a tomar un nuevo curso para Joe. Recientemente se quejaba de que ella pasaba demasiado metida en fiestas.

Fuentes cercanas a Joe reconocen que había "problemas en la relación", pero dicen que Joe apoyó a Sophie para que consiguiera el trabajo de actriz en Londres.

Como informamos, Joe pidió el divorcio el martes y el detonante para él fue un supuesto audio o video de Sophie haciendo o diciendo algo, que vio en la cámara Ring de seguridad.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock probably aren't cousins after all -- so says his mother in a much-needed clarification -- but she's got plenty of other beefs with the mother of her new grandson.

We talked to Karlissa Saffold Wednesday in L.A. and asked what she meant by claiming Blue and Chrisean might be related. As she explains, there are Dorseys in her extended fam, and once she learned Chrisean's mother has that same maiden name ... she thought there could be a blood connection.

However, after some more research, Karlissa says she no longer believes her son and Chrisean are actually cuzzos ... although, she'd still like a DNA test done, just in case.

With that family tree crisis averted ... we asked her about how the birth went down -- namely, the fact Blueface was partying in Miami, and not with Chrisean for the delivery.

That got him a lot of heat online, many called him rude and insensitive, but Karlissa defends her son ... accusing Chrisean of bolting to Maryland to give birth without giving Blue a heads up. She says Blueface is a great dad, and most certainly wanted to be there to bring his latest child into the world.

Karlissa has more barbs for Chrisean here too, including how she came up with the baby boy's name.

We should also note, Karlissa's got her own family reality show in the works with Blueface, his siblings and Karlissa herself called "CixoT" ... and you gotta imagine they'll bring up Chrisean in the mix.

Mom is squarely in Blueface's corner -- despite some ugly history -- and it doesn't sound like a big, happy family Thanksgiving dinner with Chrisean is in the future.

Joe Jonas saw/heard something with Sophie Turner that was the last straw in his decision to file for divorce, and it involves a ring camera.

Multiple sources who have direct contact with Joe tell TMZ ... Joe had access to a ring cam that he said captured Sophie saying and/or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over.

TMZ broke the story ... Joe and Sophie's marriage had been on the rocks for at least 6 months, and it was all over a significant difference in lifestyles. As one source put it, "She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles."

As we reported, over the last 3 months, Joe has had the kids almost all the time. Sophie has been in London, but Joe and his bros were touring the U.S. and he had his 2 small kids in tow.

We know Joe had been in touch with at least 2 divorce lawyers last week. Interestingly, both lawyers are in L.A., yet he decided to file divorce docs Tuesday in Florida.

Joe and Sophie said in a joint statement Wednesday, "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why ..."

We reached out to Sophie's team ... they had no comment.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are house hunting again ... and this time they're eyeing a pricey slice of paradise in Malibu, where a brand new mansion is going up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent part of their holiday weekend touring an $8 million plot of land in the 'Bu.

Our sources say Meghan and Harry checked out an estate, that's almost 6 acres. There's already a guard house at the front of the property, plus a huge pool ... and the foundation is laid for a 10,000-square-foot main residence.

The property sits above PCH and overlooks Broad Beach, and it's super secluded and private -- there's a gate and a long driveway up to where the main house would sit -- and we're told that's part of the draw for Meghan and Harry.

Our sources say the asking price is $8 million ... plans for the main house have already been approved and a construction crew is in place. If Harry and Meghan buy the lot, they can assume the costs of construction, estimated at another $10 million.

Meghan and Harry currently live in a $14 million mansion in Montecito, which is pretty far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood ... and the Malibu property is about 13 miles from celeb hot spot Nobu, and less than an hour drive from L.A. and Beverly Hills.

Our sources say M&H are talking about selling their Montecito home and moving to Malibu full-time. It's close enough to Hollywood for them to do business, but far enough from Hollywood to give them security and privacy.

We did some digging and it appears Brendan Brown at Westside Estate Agency reps the property. We reached out to Brendan, so far no word back.

Joe Jonas vio o escuchó algo de Sophie Turner, y esa fue la gota que rebalsó el vaso en su decisión de solicitar el divorcio, e involucra una cámara de seguridad.

Múltiples fuentes que tienen contacto directo con Joe dicen a TMZ, que el cantante tenía acceso a una cámara de seguridad (Ring Cam en inglés), que según él capturó a Sophie diciendo o haciendo algo que le hizo darse cuenta de que el matrimonio había terminado.

TMZ publicó la historia. El matrimonio de Joe y Sophie había estado sobre las cuerdas al menos durante los últimos seis meses, y todo fue por grandes diferencias en sus estilos de vida. Como dijo una fuente: "A ella le gusta la fiesta, a él le gusta quedarse en casa. Tienen estilos de vida muy diferentes".

Como informamos, en los últimos tres meses Joe ha tenido a los niños casi todo el tiempo. Sophie ha estado en Londres, mientras Joe y sus hermanos estaban de gira por Estados Unidos y él tenía a sus dos hijos pequeños.

Sabemos que Joe había estado en contacto con al menos dos abogados de divorcio la semana pasada. Curiosamente, ambos abogados están ubicados en Los Ángeles, pero él decidió presentar los documentos de divorcio el martes en Florida.

Joe y Sophie dijeron en un comunicado conjunto este miércoles: "Después de cuatro maravillosos años de matrimonio hemos decidido mutuamente poner fin a nuestro matrimonio de forma amistosa. Hay muchas narrativas especulativas en cuanto al porqué ..."

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have finally broken their silence and are addressing the end of their marriage ... which they describe as "four wonderful years."

In a joint statement posted Wednesday, the two say, "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage."

They continue, "There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children."

As we reported, Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in Miami Tuesday, asking for joint custody of their daughters, ages 1 and 3. The couple has a prenup and, according to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Joe wants a judge to establish a parenting plan between him and Sophie that allows for "frequent and continuing contact with both parties."

The docs also reveal the children have most recently been staying with Joe in Miami and "other locations throughout the United States" as he and his brothers tour the country.

TMZ broke the story over the weekend, the two had reached an end in their relationship and Joe was looking for a divorce attorney ... once that happened, he got the ball rolling quickly.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner finalmente han decidido romper el silencio y referirse al término de su matrimonio, el que describen como "cuatro años maravillosos".

En un comunicado conjunto publicado este miércoles, los dos dicen: "Después de cuatro maravillosos años de matrimonio hemos decidido mutuamente poner fin a nuestro matrimonio de manera amistosa".

Y continúan: "Hay muchas especulaciones sobre el porqué, pero realmente es una decisión conjunta y esperamos sinceramente que todo el mundo pueda respetar nuestros deseos de privacidad hacia nosotros y nuestros hijos".

Como hemos informado, Joe solicitó el divorcio de Sophie en Miami el martes, pidiendo la custodia compartida de sus hijas de 1 y 3 años. La pareja tiene un acuerdo prenupcial y, según los documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Joe quiere que un juez establezca el plan de crianza de ambos, que permita un contacto "frecuente y continuo de ambas partes".

Los documentos también revelan que los niños se han estado quedando con Joe en Miami  y en "otros lugares de Estados Unidos", mientras él y sus hermanos recorren el país.

TMZ dio a conocer la historia el fin de semana. Los dos habían terminado la relación y Joe estaba buscando un abogado de divorcios, y una vez que esto sucedió, la bola se puso a rodar rápidamente.

50 Cent went all Cardi B during his concert in Los Angeles, throwing his broken microphone in frustration into the crowd ... hitting a fan smack dab on the head.

The rapper hit the stage at Crypto.com Arena Wednesday night as part of his "Final Lap" tour 2023 ... and, during the performance, he was handed several mics that didn't work, which was clearly triggering.

Check out the video ... Fitty struts out onstage with a mic in hand to join YG, who is belting out a song. Suddenly, Fitty turns to one side of the stage and hurls the mic, striking a woman in the head.

Sources who were present tell TMZ ... Fitty wasn't targeting the woman, but still, he beaned her good. A source connected to 50 says the woman wasn't supposed to be in the restricted area ... but unlike the mic, that argument doesn't fly.

Photos of the victim surfaced on Instagram, showing a gash in her forehead and bloody towels wrapped around her neck.

We've reached out to Fitty's camp ... so far, no word back.

You may recall ... Cardi B was involved in a similar incident in which she angrily tossed her mic at a fan, who threw a drink at her during a Las Vegas show. The mic ricocheted off something and hit another person standing nearby. That person filed a police report, but Cardi was cleared.
