Christian rock will never get hotter than Selena Gomez doing a surprise gig in the middle of a religious themed event.

Gomez surprised fans at an album release party for Christian group Hillsong Young & Free in downtown L.A. Gomez has long been a supporter of the Hillsong church, which also boasts Justin Bieber as a follower.

We're told Selena wrote the song "Nobody" with Shane Stevens to deliver one message -- that no one can love us like God.

The plan is to release the song on Christian radio and possibly cross over to mainstream.

Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth have reached a shaky temporary settlement in their custody war ... avoiding a courtroom showdown by a matter of hours.

We've learned lawyers for the One Direction singer were going to court Friday morning armed with legal docs and their famous client, asking a judge to formally establish paternity on Louis' part and give him access to his 1-month-old son, Freddie.

TMZ broke the story ... Briana was not giving Louis access to their kid and the dispute was over money. We're told under the temporary settlement, he will have access to the child for several hours at a time during the week, but he will not have any overnight visits.

We're told until a short time ago, Louis was paying Briana's expenses but there was no set amount -- it varied from week to week. Things went south when they tried to establish a set monthly amount ... she wanted way more than he was willing to give.

Our sources say the 2 parents have agreed to a temporary custody arrangement while their lawyers hammer out something formal ... both with custody and child support.

Soulja Boy and his posse started their day with drugs and guns and even flaunted it on the Internet ... which ain't the smartest move for a guy on probation.

Soulja posted several videos bragging about a wake and bake session at his house, but the one where his pal is waving high-powered handgun with an extended clip ... could get someone in big trouble.

Check out the video -- Soulja's sitting on the kitchen counter smoking while another guy stands behind him waving the weapon. SB lives in L.A., and in Cali it's illegal to buy a large capacity magazine (defined as more than 10 rounds).

Plus, Soulja is on probation for a weapons charge from 2014, so ... he's flirting with a violation.

Mariah Carey is not lazy, she just has fab shoes that KILL her feet.

Video surfaced this week of Mariah getting wheeled around Caesars Palace to her show at the Colosseum. People chalked it up to diva antics, but our sources say Mariah was a victim of what she calls "shoeicide" -- wearing shoes that are super fabulous, but murder on her feet.

We're told Mariah walks around in her shoes constantly, but on this occasion ... she simply couldn't do it anymore. So Mariah's staff concocted the rolling chair to help ease her foot pain.

#TheDress is so last year (literally) and now the Internet has moved on ... to #TheJacket.

The premise is the same ... take a look at the picture and argue with your friends.

Sen. Marco Rubio just got crushed under a wall of irony when he tried to deliver a Trump-esque shot at Donald Trump.

During a rally in Dallas, he started reading a Trump tweet calling Rubio a "choker." Watch, the Senator's trying to diss Trump for misspelling the word ... but accidentally spells it perfectly. It plays like Rubio doesn't know how to spell.

(Note: Trump really did misspell it, but corrected the tweet by the time Rubio read it).

There's more, but it all plays like a failed attempt to beat Trump at his own game. In other words ... the role of Meek Mill will now be played by Sen. Rubio.

Drake ... y'know what that means. Sorry.

Nobody calls popcorn "pop" ... is the basis of a lawsuit the Michael Jackson estate has filed against a website using MJ's name to hawk popcorn.

MJ's estate has set its sights on KingOfPop.com ... a website that popped up in 2012 after buying the domain name of a former Michael Jackson fan website.

The estate claims the site tried to defend its use of the popular MJ moniker by saying the word "pop" is a "nickname for popcorn products." The estate says that's BS because "pop" is only a nickname for soda ... in certain parts of the country.

Team MJ is suing to get the site shut down, plus damages. Shoulda gone for a couple tins of Chocolate Dreams Popcorn too. Yummm ...

Kim Cattrall is pissed about a reckless teenage driver ... who smashed into her house.

Kim posted the crazy pics outside her Vancouver Island, BC home, saying, "A senseless 16 yr old driver plowed into my home Joy Riding @ 1 am. People cld have been killed. U should b ashamed."

The "Sex and the City" actress also tweeted the pics to MADD.

According to Kim, four people, including the driver and her friends could have been hurt during Tuesday morning's crash, but amazingly no one was injured. As Kim put it, the driver is "home free to drive around today."

A local report says cops are investigating.

They're not gonna like this up in Canada ...

Pelicans player Quincy Pondexter thinks age beats beauty in a hardwood battle between Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake ... saying Timberlake would easily dismiss the Biebs on the court.

Quincy started his career with the Memphis Grizzlies -- where Timberlake is part owner ... so when we got him out in Beverly Hills we had to ask if Timberlake can actually hoop.

Pondexter says he's played with JT, who definitely has game -- "for a white guy" -- and when we asked who'd win a matchup between JT and Justin Beiber, Quincy couldn't have been stronger.

"I'll take Timberlake all day."

1-on-1 for charity? We'd watch.

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook experience is starting to look like the average FB user's -- 'cause it's getting all racial, and he's pissed about it.

Facebook HQ has a "signature wall" where employees can write messages. Some have chosen to write "black lives matter" ... but others have been crossing it out and replacing it with "all lives matter."

Zuckerberg, in an internal FB post obtained by Gizmodo, called the defacing "unacceptable," adding he was "disappointed by this disrespectful behavior."

Tyra Banks was all glammed up and double fisting smoothies Thursday in Bev Hills.

We're gonna need supersized fries ... 'cause that's a lot of shake.

The family of the "COPS" cameraman who was killed on the job is suing the city of Omaha for wrongful death.

Bryce Dion was part of the crew trailing Omaha PD officers in August 2014 when they responded to an armed robbery in a Wendy's. Dion was killed by friendly fire ... an officer firing back at the suspect accidentally shot Dion.

Dave Domina, the attorney for Bryce's family, says ... "I don't think Bryce Dion signed up for the risk of being shot by a police officer."

In the suit, the family says police were negligent because they didn't give Bryce adequate training, supervision or protection.

Three Omaha officers involved in the shooting have already been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

Tony Burton, one of only a handful of actors to appear in the 1st 6 installments of the 'Rocky' franchise, has died.

Burton played Duke, Apollo Creed's trainer, and also trained Rocky in the 4th movie. Prior to acting Burton was himself a professional light heavyweight boxer and football player.

Burton was apparently ill and unable to see 'Creed.'

The actor also starred in "The Shining" and "Stir Crazy."

'Rocky' co-star Carl Weathers confirmed the death in a tweet, "RIP Tony Burton. intensity and talent helped make the Rocky movie successful #BePeace."

Burton was 78.

R.I.P.

Marco Rubio cannot negotiate with Vladimir Putin, because he's way too sweaty ... so says Donald Trump.

Trump went on CNN after Thursday night's Republican debate and said it really doesn't matter why Rubio sweats ... it's a sign of weakness if the leader of the free world has sweaty pits when he goes head-to-head with world adversaries.

Trump's been on the campaign trail calling Rubio out as a "choke artist," noting that during the February debate, "He was soaking wet, I'm telling you. He was wet. I thought he just came out of a swimming pool."

Kelly Clarkson full-on broke down -- not once but several times -- during her incredibly emotional return to the "American Idol" stage ... an appearance that brought the judges to tears.

Kelly sang her song, "Piece by Piece" -- a song about her dad abandoning her and how she would never do that to her child. Kelly, who's 9 months pregnant, couldn't handle it and had to stop mid-song.

The first 'A.I.' winner had turned her back on the show that made her famous. For many years she tried to shake the show off her back, but in its final season she's embracing it again.

Jax Taylor must have been drinking Mai Tais during his geography class ... because apologizing to the "city of Hawaii" for his shoplifting antics just doesn't cut it.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star was leaving Villa Blanca in Bev Hills Thursday when our photog asked him about the photo we got of him drinking a daiquiri in Waikiki, just before he copped a plea in his felony sunglasses case.

Jax was caught on surveillance video stealing the sunglasses. He was sentenced to 1 year probation.
